I don't know the reasons that people don't want free tickets. So see my point about wins. Just keep winning. I'd be very surprised to hear of any fans being drawn to the REA because of Notre Dame hockey.

Again.... three day weekend, opening hunting, two years of not making the tournament.

Yup, I get it. Doesn't solve our "problem". This thread points at a larger problem for sports as a whole that I'm not convinced UND has.

Yup. I read it. Did it say it's increased attendance? No. These things are great, but the REA would make less money.

So, in short.... 1 -- Leave the best conference in the country The rest (other than the Grandma, because we all love that) -- The REA decides to make itself less money. Seems like a solid plan

I think a lot of fans had a bad expectation for him. We've been strapped for scoring for a couple years now and a lot of fans expected him to put up Top 6 points, but he's more of an energy guy. Any goals from him were going to be a plus and it's been great this year.

This... it's pretty easy. We're also two years into a NCAA tourney drought. Wins drive the boat. Not worried if we continue to play like we have this season. Deer opener has always seen an attendance drop and always will.

Hockey players have a lot of pride. Sounds like JJ wanted to be there for his team.

No reason to let off the gas. Get the sweep. 4-1 good guys. Michaud, Guchi, Yon, Senden

I wasn't there in person, but I can imagine watching UND pick corners consistently is fun to watch Watching with a buddy, I tried to think back to how many times in the past two season we saw our team beat a goalie clean with a wicked wrist shot. I could think of less than 5. Tonight, I think we had 4.

Love this lineup.

Yup yup. Looking forward to playing them after we take care of Miami.

Spot on. I understand they beat us a bunch last year, but those games we're one bounce games.

Sounds like a party, my friend.

Don't be ridiculous... no way we get two

What size beers we talking?

Unless they took a really massive step forward from last year, I don't believe they are that much better.

Conference time, baby. Good guys in green start it off on the right foot. 4-2 UND Mash, JBD, Senden, Adams 2-for-5 on the PP

He tried to play through it. Went through a million tests. Kept trying to play. Seems like a hockey player that most would laud around here. Instead, he was having his attitude and toughness questioned.

For all of you that were questioning JJ. https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/4754933-Joel-Janatuinen-opens-up-on-health-issues-last-season-It-was-so-crushing

It's kind of what they've always done, historically. Very, very competitive for 2 or 3 years and then fall off, build back up. Symptom of getting guys who often not the "top-tier" and are four-year players and developing them well.
