  1. I just thought it was funny you said "how down UND has been". Sure, we've had some disappointing exits being eliminated by UMD in a 5th OT, losing to Notre Dame, and getting outplayed by a pandemic but I'd say they are anything but down years. A down year was 2018-19, this year is looking like it'll be one(TBD) but not the last 3. I'll trot this stat out again, average years between titles: DU 7.9, Michigan 8.2, UND 9.2, Wisco 9.5, Gophers 14.8, BC 14.8, UMD 19.3 For people expecting us to win it all every 4-5 years you're going to be disappointed more often than not. Our last title was 2016, so we'd have to get through the 2027 Frozen Four without winning a title to be "below average"(I'm not counting 2020 as an opportunity for obvious reasons).
  2. When you say the last few years are you referring to the conference championship in 2020, 2021 or 2022? But yes, this year has been rough. In my own case, I just put in in perspective that 1) it's a game and 2)I have no control over how good the team is. Many on here were talking about how our program was unraveling after 2018-19 as well, then we fielded a juggernaut the next season.

  3. Joe Black's will too
  4. Lol appreciate the gif So the coaches shouldn't take into account how a player looks in practice? Like at all?
  5. Well don't stop there, please expound
  6. Speculating here, but I'm guessing while you are not seeing a difference in practice there may be a difference in the weight room, in practice, etc.
  7. Not sure you'll see many fans traveling for this after a season long of travel, but maybe I'm too pessimistic about the whole idea
  8. The Pairwise formula is based on an accumulation of games and how those comparisons play themselves out across the country so that's not an accurate statement. They are where they are because of the games they've won, lost and tied. There's no handouts being given.
  9. UND within shouting distance of the national tournament at #17 in the Pairwise, must have got some help over the break because after WMU they were #22. This is probably the most important weekend of the 2nd half with Lindenwood 55th in PWR(Miami a close 2nd at 43rd). Sweep or bust
  10. Looking to purchase 5 Lower Bowl tickets together for UND vs Western Michigan's Saturday night game, January 14th. Thanks!
  11. Noticed that exact same thing
  12. Yup, for sure
  13. Even if we were firing on all cylinders that would be a tall task to only lose 1 of 8. Don’t forget Miami just beat SCSU 5-0, none of those nchc games are easy this year
  14. A fair question, may be onto something
  15. WCHA(CCHA) worked better
  16. It’s my only coping mechanism at this point
  17. Did you just hear a <whoosh> sound above your head?
  18. I think we’d all agree the team played a full 60 tonight and just drew the short stick, one bounce the other way and we walk out with the W. Truly a game of inches…
  19. Don’t we all?
  20. Don't disagree but something about glass houses comes to mind. This place isn't exactly a bastion of reason and logic.
  21. Not saying this will happen this year necessarily, but didn't Driscoll have a rough start last year and find his groove in the 2nd half?
  22. Because they'll never let you down
  23. Take this fwiw as I’m no pro but Goon your picture taking skills have taken leaps and bounds from when you started, these are solid
  24. I’m just happy DU’s fan liked it on Twitter
