How did they not call that interference on Kiersted?

What I find so unforgivable about this year's team is that we've seen that they can play well... It would be a different story if this team had played this bad the whole season. The fact that they keep getting worse and worse shows the kind of weak mentality this group of players has. The streak of NCAA post season appearances seems to be more and more likely to be done... this team just doesn't have the heart. I feel bad for all the hard-working teams before them that put in the work to develop over the course of the season.

Well Miami knows they can play a very physical game without repercussions... who cares if they take a penalty? They know UND isn't going to do a damn thing with a power play.

Jeez Burd... chill out bro ;). I kind of understand though, this team makes me want to throw a lawnmower at something.

Nothing quite like a UND power play to make a very average team look fantastic...

I just tuned into the game... I was posting that before the Miami goal. Is Thome hurt? This goal sits squarely on Kiersted's shoulders.

Why the eff is Cam still in net tonight... I guess the coaches have given up just like the players.

They whole team played like garbage for most of the game, and yes, Cam is part of that team. To say that none of this loss is on Cam is ludicrous. I'm not sure that Thome could've done better... but Vegas odds are he wouldn't have done any worse.

It never is...

If they didn't they would be sitting the next night... if Berry doesn't have Yon and Casey Johnson in tomorrow he is seriously off his rocker.

Is there any reason to play Cam anymore? Given the fact the Thome has shown he is a decent goalie (better IMHO) why not ride him since the wheels have long since come off this bus anyhow. This team has shown it has no guts... lazy play, wanting the next guy to pick up the slack... Even if they somehow make the tourney they have shown they have no business being there. No grit, no heart... Berry needs to look to next year to correct this mentality and the first way to do that would be to get Thome more playing time.

I can deal with a team that skates hard and loses... it is very difficult to watch a team work hard for the first 20 minutes and then coast. Some players are too used to having things come easy to them and others are just waiting for someone else to pick up the slack.

No one is bitching about Cam tonight because when he is back-up he doesn't have a chance to let in his usual soft goals. No one is also bitching about Thome because despite the score, tonight's outcome falls squarely on the shoulders of everyone besides the goaltender.

I'd take players that can play a full 60 minutes before I'd take more skilled guys. Lazy passes and too much counting on the next guy to make a play. This team hasn't played a full 60 all season.

well that goal rests squarely on the coaches.

Absolutely.

Thome... Peter has not been given much help by the D tonight. I would like to see him have the chance to play back to back... not just come in when Cam isn't playing well.

Wow, this team is severely bi-polar...

Better than giving up softies...

well done boys! 2-0 good guys

How do you not stick with Thome right now? As we saw on Friday, the fans are not the only ones concerned about Cam's soft goals. Maybe Thome is the better goalie and maybe he isn't but he sure is the hotter of the two... Add to the fact that when Thome starts we see a better overall team in front of him for whatever reason. I think we will really find out what this team is made out of in Omaha. Just win!

Consistency, or lack there of, is what is most frustrating thing to me with this team... we've seen it in the past under Hak and we have certainly seen it in the two most recent seasons under Berry. I don't know who is to blame but as a fan it is nerve-wracking not knowing what kind of team we will see on any given night. I hope to see Thome start until he proves he can't... the boys seem to be able to put forth a more competent team effort with him in net. Remember how we used to dread the Saturday night let-downs? Now I wonder what is going to go wrong on every Friday.

He certainly isn't the biggest problem but with all the close games we've lost, I wonder if playing Thome more might have given us another win or three... especially when you take in account Cam almost always gives up one soft goal he would want back a game. No way to know but one thing is for sure, this team plays a different game in front of Thome.

I know Goon... I admitted I was one of those guys in one of my next posts buddy lol.

That is the extent of your infinite wisdom you have to bestow upon our computer screens? I'm afraid I'm a bit underwhelmed.
