Because they are able to bring him and he's a part of the team. If he were a problem, he wouldn't be there. He's almost certainly not gonna play, but I'm sure his teammates love having him there. He's a good kid.

That's my point of why I think it's funny Motz's name is being brought up. It's really that simple.

I think there's an increase of players allowed on a trip in the playoffs, if I'm not mistaken. Not gonna lie, I kind of want to see Johnson play tomorrow just for the results of what would come on here hahahaha.

I wasn't saying specifically Motzko. He's clearly not going anywhere. It was a comparison to the anger towards Bubbs' who has yes, won a national championship, and has very similar career results as Motzko, but the fact that he's always been known as a coach that has never gotten it done. Motz's team currently is clearly moving in the right direction. Did the same at St. Cloud. But, if the dude keeps putting up steady results, keeps getting good recruits, BUT fails to win the big one in a one-and-done tourney (paging Dave Hakstol), when does that cut bait conversation happen? I was drawing a parallel because it's interesting, to me, to see this happening. I'm not sitting here saying that I don't want Minnesota's pipeline. A LOT of those guys, I'd love to see in Kelly Green. With that said, ours is really, really good and yes, it has the makings to be at that level. You don't have to agree with it, that's fine. I just really like what I've seen. My comment was just to pick at the idea that Motzko, who has gotten his programs to a top level, but not won the big one, is getting all the roses.

Edina wins 6-5 in 2OT. Helluva game. Lindberg, please. Also liked Reierson's game a lot. That goalie from Edina is MASSIVE!

Didn't see a thread for this, but I suppose I can start one! Watching Moorhead and Edina. Edina's Jackson Nevers committed to Minny. Lindberg from Moorhead reminds me of Frisch. Reierson good looking skater.

I know, I know. I just think it's very funny for some of us to want Motzko at the same time we are complaining about Bubbs' successes. Motz's overall resume isn't exactly marked with post season success.

He's only won back-to-back conference titles

I have NCHC.tv, but having it on cable made me actually dance like this. Confirmed.

I discovered this about halfway through the season and I was SO happy.

No, I'm saying if they hit their average and DeRidder is 94%, we'll need 3 goals.

Omaha is averaging 31.5 shots a game. Rounding up to 32, DeRidder would need to stop 30 of 32 to be 0.9375. Works for me.

I sure hope so. Got er done on Saturday without the extra frame, so hopefully that helps haha.

I feel like the more current history, UND winning the season series 3-0-1 over Omaha, matters more. But frankly, none of that matters! All comes down who plays better this weekend.

I think maybe there's a sense that we can get away with it since the portal is there? Had we done it with a guy who could stay two years, would we like it better? I sure would. I also see a concept of "win now" involved. Thinking of the past two years tendies we brought in, both had significant amount of NCAA games under their belt. With the premise that they could be the "final piece of the puzzle" maybe the coaches were thinking, we've got Hequist in a couple years, so let's try and go all in on a portal guy. DeRidder has performed well down the stretch, and I guess we've got a few games left and hopefully a fun run. But overall he's been a miss. I thought Driscoll was very good for most of the year. From what I'm seeing from his stats, I think Hequist comes in next year and we try and make him our No. 1 ASAP. With that said, I'd love to have another guy in the pipeline right now. And frankly, a lot of the goalie recruits never reach their expected potential. I'm hoping we get a portal guy next season and groom Hequist.

Keep up with this recently found thing called .... defense? Is that the word for it?

Ditto. I fear a bunch of young kids in the D-Corps, but hopefully we'll score enough to make up the difference. Need an immediate bump from a portal goalie and I really hope it's Persson.

I think he deleted it because he got ROASTED for it. Rightfully so lol. I have no problem with people calling out poor play. Totally justified. I know the guy who created the group and when a different mod was deleting negative posts about the team, I was all over him for it. No need to censure opinion. Can't stand that crap. With that said, when a guy gloats how he's gonna confront Berry in person, that deserves a significant ragging and he got it lol.

Oh, he's your typical keyboard warrior. I think most don't realize, Bubbs is a BIG dude lol. Plus, anyone who says that in a public setting, almost certainly isn't going to do it. It was so funny. What a clown.

Are you the guy in the GOD FORKSAKEN Facebook group that claimed he was going to Berry's office to ask him in person to step down after we got swept by DU? LOL

You're gonna kill the man.

REALLY bad lol

HAHA that last point is fair and I knew it was coming. -1 is pretty bad when you have 27 points, honestly. When I heard UND was looking at Farmer, I watched A LOT of stuff on him and he was almost always partnered with Morrow. He was a major cog in Morrow's success. He allowed Morrow to be special inside the zone and was always getting back in position to cover for it. Anyway, I don't really wanna keep talking about this haha. Looking forward to this weekend and hopefully we can get back to scoring some goals.

HAHA that wasn't angled at you at all, man. Him not coming here was definitely not about his skill, I agree 100%. He is a stud. An offensive stud. I highly disagree with him playing defense. Maybe in pieces, but the dude does not play D consistently. We're a team that's struggled all year with gap play and getting out of position. He is consistently out of position. He's a -1 this season after being a +10 last year. I think Ty Farmer had A LOT to do with his success. Anyway, it was just a shot at the obsessions with the kid as a side effect of Bubbs' problems. Plus, we're in the wrong thread for this lol.

He's a fourth round draft pick and he's shown glimpses. Maybe he's just not playing well? That feels like a simple answer because frankly, he didn't play well when he got in.
