Apparently "these kinds of things" isn't broad enough when I described situations. You're right. This only happens at UND. My apologies 🙄

It was onto Columbia lol. I won't say how I know, but I 100% know 😆

HA! I HIGHLY disagree with this. Indeed I've seen it first hand. Is this situation good? No. But good lord, let it be what it is. This kind of stuff happens every year with every program, but it almost never gets out. We've had situations like this in big time seasons before. Call a spade a spade... if we were winning, this situation is basically a nothingburger.

Nothing wrong with having hope despite the grossness around here the past few weeks.

Isn't that normal around here? LOL

Wtf is going on in this thread about the ASU series?

@ Arizona State - 4 vs. Western Michigan - 5 @ St. Cloud - 6 vs. Colorado College - 3 @ Denver - 3 vs. Duluth - 6 @ Western Michigan - 4 vs. Nebraska-Omaha - 6

Fair enough. My point was that Sasha certainly looks like he would have fit with the team talent wise.

Unfortunately not crazy. Pretty much par for the course. After watching the Canada-Finland game last night, Sasha is certainly as good as any of that forward group. So stupid he's not there.

He's logic is completely fine and I agree with it, but you can't have a loose standard, IMO.

I didn't hear that. What a stupid rule!

What's the rule? The guy going off on the change was CLEARLY still on the ice. I'm very curious. Definitely should have been stopped, I agree.

That may have been the weirdest non-reversal I've ever seen. Not sure what those refs we're seeing.

I know we don't like what happened with a certain someone on our favorite team, but this doesn't change how much I love this tournament and I'll absolutely be cheering on Team USA! Sweden beat Slovakia 5-2 earlier and the US is beating Germany 2-0 after 1. James Hagens and Gabe Perrault have the goals for the Americans.

He doesn't know what that means.

You're boring.

I'd be very surprised to hear that Blaker thought we didn't have a chance to win a title this season.

I'd argue Jackson Blake being here another year would not have us in this position, unfortunately. He's that important.

Slow work day yesterday 😉

WTF are you talking about? Who the eff is saying any of that in this conversation? I am trying to figure out why YOU or others making certain arguments as to why they think he should be fired. Like @burd said, you can absolutely say that you think it's because they don't win enough. You're the one who added unproven nonsense like "not having players ready" or being "outcoached" without having even a SHRED of proof of these concepts. If you leave it at the bolded part, it's a fine argument.

Scrambling? I disagree. To me, that would imply that we are grabbing from the bottom of the barrel. With one exception, all of the portal goalies have been pretty good hits, IMO. Also, the staff knows well ahead of time what players may or may not be in the portal following a season.

THIS! If this is the honest to goodness reason, then so be it! Instead, we play this game that we know more than we actually do.

Comparing the football and hockey teams are not the same. My goodness. As a collective, we can belittle regular season titles and regular season success, but the two programs are NOT equal in this realm. Also, the concept of our teams "not being prepared" or that UND is being "outcoached" as a reason for our lack of success is the reason that people want Bubs fired, but they can't provide actual evidence. Those are not results-based concepts. We've won plenty of games where we've been outplayed.

I know from personal experience that Hak said this, many, many, many times. But again, I don't want to go 10 rounds on this topic.

Our players don't work hard? I'm just gonna stop this now as I don't think we'll agree. It's fine. All good.
