  1. This was the year to make hay.  Denver having a down year and Duluth being a relatively young team (and limited number of games against Duluth and St Cloud) made the last to the Final 16 a little easier than most years.  Duluth loses less than UND this off-season.  Berry has to figure out a way to get through them at some point.

    I wouldn’t be surprised though if Sandy gets his shot in the NHL. He surely would leave UMD for a chance at an NHL coaching gig. I say his days are numbered at UMD. Just like Hak, someone will offer him a contract he can’t refuse. 

    Pretty well known how content he is in Duluth.  Plus while not unheard of, he is getting to be past the age when the NHL will pluck a guy for his first fig.

    The game could have gone either way in OT, if UND would have scored you would be singing Berry’s praises. 

    UND played not to lose a good portion of the game minus Sanderson eventually saying the h*ll with it and trying to create on his own the last couple of OTs.  Very good coach, very nice guy, record in big games is on the verge of becoming very concerning.

    He knows the type of kids to recruit to play his system to a T.  Had some down years in Duluth, and many wanted him gone after consecutive sub .500 seasons, but to say he got it figured out is an understatement. 

    Once again, first half was in old Decc which was a pit.  A true examination of Sandelins career should start once the Amsoil opened up.  Sandelin trying to recruit to old Decc is apples to oranges when compared to UND coaches Hak and Berry getting to recruit to the Taj Mahal their entire careers.

    I think we are seeing more parody in college hockey.  It's tough to win 4 in a row in a one and done tourney.

    The only parody is Berry trying to match strategy with Sandelin.  As for parity, maybe so, but that doesn't seem to be affecting Duluth the last 10 years in big games.

    What exactly would you have done as a coach? Cut their legs off and replaced them? This has nothing to do with coaching. It not like the offense wasn’t flicking and didn’t have chances? Looked like we were going to be up 15 seconds in. This is how hockey goes sometimes.

    Doesn't seem to be an issue Sandelin has had as much in big games.  With all of the talent UND had on this team, not making the Frozen Four is the equivalent of Alabama not making the BCS final four in football.

    How many posts gets you a National Championship?

    Take the number of participation banners SCSU has.....add the number of times that UND has beat BC in a playoff game.....and multiple that sum by 0.

    We played their game tonight.  That was the issue.  Played to try win a 1-0 game...that isn’t this team.  We were beat before we stepped on the ice

    Outcoached.  Reminded me of the Pony line loss against Michigan at the Frozen Four. Gum it down, clog it up, play not to lose.

    The disappointing part for me here is wondering how we will look next year. Good I’m sure, but we could lose a lot. Maybe more will stay, who knows. Tough way to go after a COVID year where we dominated, then this.

    Praying not to have 2-3 years of Ludvig Hoffs until the next reload arrives.

    I don’t want anything more. Watch every other save he made. This was right there. I don’t blame the kid at all. Just saying he would like it back. 

    Sioux have 4-5 players on this team that you will see skating a regular shift in the NHL.  Unfortunately the team (including those stars) sh*t the bed in the biggest game of their lives to date.  It happens.  They will be fine.

    Wtf is wrong with you? Yeah blame the coach in a 5 OT game. Go to bed, you sound like a dumb a$$. This kids all have everything they had for like 7 hours. Something had to give. It was a good shot, but it’s one scheel would normally have, that being said, lets see your dumb a$$ play hockey that hard and that long. What a F-int troll. Go away you POS!

    Even mentioning Scheel in the conversation of this loss makes you sound like a dumba$$.  He gave up 3 goals in 7+ periods of hockey.  What more did you want?

    That’s how these play out. We were obviously the much better team but that’s definitely how it was going to end. Scheel was gassed I’m sure. 

    Best team won.  7+ periods of hockey took the chance out of it.
