So a Sacred Heart with GF finest, albeit a bit of a sham, could compete in Section 8?

Is the 3rd place game online anywhere?

How does wahpeton get to compete in MN?

Not sure if you are being sarcastic, as much as I enjoyed (as much as womens hockey can be enjoyed) the twins and the elevation in the program, something took the thing off the rails? Not saying the twins directly brought the downfall, but Idalski sure was a major issue, but more so the person(s) above him that let the financial side of the program do what it did, it is a niche sport with next to no fans. Along the same thoughts, Did the cost of playing at the Ralph hurt the program?

Ever wonder if UND would still have a womens program if the twins would have stayed in MSP and not brought the high paid coach here?

My thoughts are that it turned out to be a good situation for her.

Guch gone, hit to the head

2-1 clowns

Ryan Poehling took a tough spill into the boards, not back on the bench yet, looked nasty, the hit that is, the performance on the ice was over the top 1-1

CC up 1-0

I didn't really see it that way.... slow, poor passes, no danglers making space, players not finding space...

I think the season for this thread was not quite over 2 years ago, but I only vaguely understand new math.

Does anyone wonder if B-Rad is contemplating keeping Shaw seeing how no word yet? Should he have already made moves?

didn't PK have a stretch where it struggled?

my thoughts exactly

Wasn't Jacks there before Berry? not sure why he escapes scrutiny, I'm sure he is a great guy and cherished alumni, was he the forwards coach?

true enough, but has recruiting really gone off the rails, or was it a mis-step? seems like incoming has a good pedigree... I humbly suggest that player development needs more scrutiny than incoming, although recruiting is bound to suffer if the program slides downhill. Could it be that B-Rad doesn't connect with the youth like he used to? Not that I have any weight in the issue but a younger coach may be the right shot in the arm, high hopes with Smaby...

TBH, sometimes thier hustle was awesome, results not so much... I have more issue with the jekyl/hyde phenomenon and player development before other issues....

Maybe the time for something new is here, but something new isn't exactly a coaching change per se..... a triumvirate Hak-Berry-Jackson #makesiouxgreatagain

If Smith was the only returner from this class I wouldn't bat an eye, next being Bowen...

When Gino resigned, was it at the end of his contract?

Can he play on the club team to get some game action?

Is there a recent bracketology thing a ma jig?

I agree 1000%. I don't recall but is there a first rounder that has stayed 4 years? Finley maybe?

I am optimistic for next year, not as optimistic as usual but hope for the best. I think you will always lose more players than average after winning a natty, players are a bit more inclined to move on to the next goal in their own timeline, right or wrong. Much has been said over years of people leaving early (Gregoire, Hextall, etc) that in hindsight looked to be a poor choice, but the choice is theirs to make, I won't hold it against them but I am overly forgiving of people living their own lives for themselves. It sucked to have JT Miller do what he did, same with Wilkie, and I forget the mid year transfer, but I like to think I am mature enough to not disparage people for their choices, the whole glass houses and all.
