    are you saying we would've won in 2020?

    Hard to say with hockey as a bad bounce can turn a game and in a 1 game eli mination that can end the season.

    If i was a betting man, wait I am, I would have had UND at 2-1 to win the national title in 2020 and Cornell at 4-1 and the field at 20-1.

    Fair point.  I've also been an adult Sioux hockey fan since 1970 and have seen a lot of bad teams.   As far as unmet expectations, a lot of fans will remember those teams around '89-92--the Greg Johnson years.   They had some awesome offensive talent during that time (Johnson, D. Ward, R. Romaniuk, N. Eisenhut, et al.) and were rated #1 early in one of those years.  Still, they just never produced (that I recall).   Goaltending?  Overall bad defense?  Gino gone stale and ready for pasture?  Just the wrong combination of talent?  Some of the GF posters here will have a better idea than I, but I've thought about those teams from time to time this year.  

    I was in school during the Hrkac Circus championship team.

    The following season we had quite a bit of turnover as we lost several players early to Professional hockey. People forget that Hrkac, Joyce, Belfour, and Kidd all could have returned for the 87-88 season. The 86-87 team averaged 5.5 goals a game and gave up 2.6.

    In 87-88 we were a .500 team going 21-20-1. Team scored 4.2 goals a game and gave up 3.7 goals and save percentage was under .895.

    IN 88-89 we were 22-18-1 and scored 4 goals a game while giving up 3.3 a game. Jason Herter, Dixon Ward, Dane Jackson, abd Justin Duberman were all freshman on this team.

    In 89-90 we were 28-13-4 and scored 5.6 goals a game(more than the Hrkac Circus) and allowed 3.8 a game and the goaltending was not good. Greg Johnson and Dave Hakstol arrived on campus this season.

    In 90-91 we were 24-17-2 and scored 4.8 a game while giving up 3.9 a game. Lost Blais and Serratore as assistants and didn't really bring in any big recruits. Goaltending remained an issue with save percentage under .880 as we still have not replace Belfour 4 years later. Gino's dual role as athletic director has caught up with the program and the loss of great recruiters would set the tone for the final 3 years of the Gasparini era. I will say that Gasparini did hit some home runs in coaching hires for men's and women's basketball, baseball, and football during his tenure. We also lose Cary Eades as an assistant.

    91-92 the slide really starts as we go 17-21-1 and scoring drops to 4.3 a game and we give up 4.9 a game and save percentage is under .880

    92-93 is the bottoming out at 12-25-1 as scoring drops to 3.6 a game and our defensive numbers are n ot even posted on Hockey DB. 

    93-94 is the rock bottom as we go 11-23-4 and scoring drops to 3.1 a game and we give up 4.3 a game. 

    2 seasons for Blais to right the ship and we are back.

    Do you know if Walters is looking to transfer?  If he is Sather most definitely should be on the phone ASAP!  He would be a great fit for UND.  I always felt his talent was wasted on UJ.  

    Yes. he plans on transferring to a D1 school. I have afriend who refs that conference and he said he sticks out tlike a sore thumb in that division. I would love to see him at UND but would also think it would be cool if he landed a P5 Scholarship somewhere. He certainly fits a school like Craighton.

    Not sure if that is true. Ties are broken from the top down.  UND & NDSU both win, UMKC beats USD & Denver beats Omaha, UND would be the 2 seed.  UND & NDSU would both be 3-1 against USD & Denver (the 2 teams tied for 4th), 1-1 against ORU (the 6th place team), so it comes down to the record against Omaha (the 7th place team) and UND swept Omaha & NDSU split with Omaha.  

    Good info. I wasn't sure if they broke the tie for fourth first?

    My understanding is that ndsu will be the 2nd seed if they win this Saturday 

    Yes. Need NDSU to lose.

    I think the tiebreak goes to record against the 4th place team.

    If NDSU wins I don't think we can get there.

    Would need USD to lose to UMKC and Denver to beat Omaha which would create a tie for 4th-5th which USD would win since they were 2-0 against ORU and DU was 0-2 against them and we split with USD while the bison swept them.

  6. Anyone know if UND is looking at Jackson McAndrew from Wayzata?

    6-8 Junior with range. Father played at UND on our best D2 teams.

    Is a 3 star and has interest from Northern Iowa, Craighton, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Xavier, and others. His father has strong ties to Craighton(McDermott) and N. Iowa(Ben Jacobson) but it seems like this is a kid we should offer just to hopefully be in the mix.

    I’m confused, we’re playing for the highest seed possible or playing for matchups now?  

    With the only shot of getting in by winning the conference tournaments and since we are traveling anyway I would much rather travel to Omaha and play on a regulation sized sheet instead of the Olympic ice at the Herb. Last week of season could be interesting with potential back to back matchups sinc UMD finishes regular season at SCSU and could very well return their the following weekend and UND hosts UNO with a vry possible the following weekend in Omaha.

    And people are upset about a penalty being called?

    Just the FB people I believe. That is a college hockey CFB major. In the NHL/AHL the ref just looks at the guy who turns into a hit he knows is coming and calls him a dumbass.

    I feel UND fans should be a refund for NCHC, considering two of the past three games have not been available.

    Do you?

    After this weekend, 27 of 33 games(counting exhibition games) have been on NCHC TV. 2 games on Bally's(road games at Minnesota) and now 3 of our games on CBS Sports Network and 1 game was at Bemidji with  no TV.
