Took me a second but I laughed, +1 for creativity in saying the same thing but in a different way

I'll at least give you credit for voicing your concerns with those that make the decisions if you acted on sending those emails and put your name to your concerns. That's something. It doesn't, I've done the exact same thing. I am simply pointing out it may not be worth the level of angst some posters seem to be going through, especially when your ability to affect real change is no where equal to the efforts. 'Pump the brakes' is all I'm saying for your own good but I that makes me a casual fan in some people's eyes, which I'm totally fine with.

Serious question: What has being unhinged on a message board accomplished for this program? What noticeable difference have you made in the trajectory of UND Hockey?

Because it's fun? Or it's supposed to be at least.

The majority of people don’t live and die vicariously through the success of a college hockey team. They also (smartly) avoid this perpetual echo chamber of negativity because it does not accomplish a thing but bring the program and everyone associated with it to the lowest common denominator of discourse. I can’t believe how worked up some of you get in here. I love this program and have been going to games since the early 90s but, my god, an NCAA title doesn’t hold the meaning to life or fill the hole you hope it will. The weak-mindedness to me is beating up this team on a message board every time anything goes wrong and turning yourself into a victim of a supposed drop in fandom level from where you estimate they should be.

Assuming it’s a green 1980s era Jersey, been looking for one of those

If you have one similar to your avatar, I am very interested

Congratulations on the SS.COM post of the week(TM)

I see the prediction falling apart this weekend, I'm not sure how UND takes 3.3 points.

Ah yes, I was going to school in Colorado Springs for that game. Girlfriend at the time's dad used to be a goalie for CC so the whole family gave me plenty of !@#$ for us scoring on ourselves and getting whooped. I don't think I took it well as I recall having some snipes back at them. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

If it only allows 8 spots, feel free to remove Miami. They ain't goin anywhere.

Dave I don't know how to tell you this but I don't think you're going to get one of those predictions correct.

Jackson was and is a special player. Best at UND since? Boeser freshman year?

Then they almost assuredly would have to win their first round home series in 2 games and MAYBE 1 at the X.

Last week I would've argued 26th was about right for how the team has played.

I don't agree with this at all, it should always be measurable or we're back to a smoke filled room. And I'm saying this fully knowing UND would benefit from a human element, just look at the USCHO rankings. We were 26th or something in the pairwise and 16th in the rankings last week.

Hearing Berry’s postgame, Hobie is starting Friday night. I’d place a large wager on it.

Not really true, just saw an angle after omac scored and bench was all banging their sticks

He forgot the 2 steps back part afterwards.

Agreed, gave you a much better feeling for what was on the line each week and what was possible. I looked forward to every post he made.

<bump> Their stud Posch got injured, SCSU's save % plummeted along with their Pairwise ranking. They rank 55th in the country in offense.

Hate to break it to ya but it was never the jersey

So true, I can't remember a worse PK from top to bottom

Not really a fair assessment just listening halfway through. Schloss and Jason were both about as critical of this team as I've ever heard them. A lot of talk about not being hard to play against and guys that were brought in to play certain roles not doing so. In my opinion it was a good, nuanced discussion about why and how this team is struggling.

Us losing(on a bull&#036;%&#33;# offsides) doesn’t change the fact that it’s a great venue and host
