UMD's? Yes, for sure. To the related topic, the point was that it's hard to win a natty and even teams with ridiculous lineups haven't won one since 2012. UMD and DU unfortunately are two exceptions to this timeframe.

LOL speaking of their current state, I guess you can feel free to use them as an example. Can you think of any others? I can't. Hence the point of terming it an outlier.

Of course it matters. But they are the outlier is what I'm establishing by my comment.

It's almost like it's really hard to win the national tournament lol. Think of all the blue chippas on these 6 teams since 1998. Even since 2012. Zero titles.

They know the diagnosis. They are trying to see if he can avoid surgery.

Got an OT win last Friday! Haha maybe it's a sign?

How bout it, boys? Let's get a big effing sweep. Time to get on a roll.

Yeah, how so? Not sure how an early November away game equates in any way to a neutral site March game.

I think it was a "per weekend" thing. Two wins one weekend, two wins the next.

Caleb Heil is currently 6-0-1 with a 2nd best in the USHL 2.12 GAA and a 5th best .917 sv % But, whatever helps your narrative, I guess.

Interesting.

This. Feels like a smarter plan to bring in an older guy, IMO

Bringing in Laurila, we'd need to be careful. We HAVE TO be sure we have guys who are gonna be out for a bit because frankly, it would be a disaster to have him come in and sit the bench because people healed up. Plus, that's a very awkward conversation with Fargo, who's rapidly becoming a the best team in the USHL and a pipeline that we MUST keep open, that we're going to take your best player. I'm thinking Matt Cullen's son....

Not what I'm hearing, but basically it's not healing like they expected. Trying to figure out the recovery process. Getting opinions. Hasn't skated and really isn't close.

I was trying to tell people this!

I'm assuming they do haha

Private college in a very affluent part of the country.

Sure, but that shot hit the middle of the net

Absolutely untrue, but I think some would say this about me lol. I'll be critical when it warrants it. A 3-2 start against three ranked teams, one being No. 3 in the country, I'm not upset about it.

LOL based on this conversation, I think some think so. If you would have told me we'd be 3-2 going into the Cornell series when this schedule first came out with Providence, Mankato, and BU to start, I think I'd be happy with that. Not perfectly happy, but certainly not mad about it.

Maybe a little quick analysis on this one might clear things up. In the past five seasons combined in the first five regular season games, UND is 15-8-3 and in the first 10, they are 25-11-4. 24-25 -- 3-2 in first 5 23-24 -- 4-1, 7-2-1 in first 10 22-23 -- 2-2-1, 4-4-2 21-22 -- 3-2, 7-3 20-21 - 3-1-1, 7-2-1 I think UND has performed just fine to start seasons recently. This conversation feels largely due to our poor performance against Auggie this year. Just my opinion.

Why? I feel like the better goalie should play. Are we developing goalies differently than any other program in the NCAA? I don't really get why it's a big deal to get a good goalie every season. If Hobie earns his ice, he should play.

Ditto HEY! I resemble that remark
