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.

Didn't say that "nothing" is wrong. Didn't even imply that. I'm only saying that there could be more to the story AND AGAIN, we're talking about a fourth liner (who will be very good for us through his career) and a 6/7th dman. Just a waste of energy.

Goodness, the obsession with Scott Morrow. For a group of people who hate how their team's defense plays, they want a guy who doesn't play defense from the blue line, like... AT ALL.

What is so controversial about a coach making lineup decisions? I think Strinden should be in the lineup, but maybe he's knicked up? Maybe he, heaven forbid, thinks other players need/deserve more ice time or they are better than other guys in the lineup. We're talking 4th liners and 6/7th defensemen. Is it necessary for Schloss to dig into this? Sometimes there are no behind-the-scene stories. Lather, rinse, repeat conversation about Johnson.

Yeah, among other things, apparently.

Are you talking like Major Junior or Junior A (CJHL)?

Took the words out of my mouth.

Or, that everyone loves each other no matter what otherwise you're a bad fan, the team plays hard, and they are good people.

Keep digging. It wasn't all about his performance. Yeah, no one is saying that bolded part. Why do we do this? Who said we shouldn't expect to make the tourney?

I'm hopeful by the end of the season that the kids that will be coming will be ready to rock. Need Mr. Frisch back very, very badly.
