This resonates so much with me. I used to actually get bummed out when the boys would lose. After the past two seasons it just doesn't impact me as much. Maybe that is getting older, maybe that is from watching boring hockey most nights. Unfortunately, it also harder to get into the games when watching them. Poor state for the program, and hopefully they can turn it around and start making runs on a regular basis again.

got it, I totally missed in that.

and the third game?

Yep dorms were fun. I still remember having to sneak booze in. One time in particular I lugged 3 cases of bottled beer up to the top floor of Smith in my hockey bag. I'm sure nobody wondered why there was a bunch of glass clanking while I walked down the hallway. We did for the Frozen Four with UND/MN/CC/DU. THAT was a blast, minus losing to Denver. Hard to believe how long ago that was now.

I remember having a mouse in our dorm room in Smith one time about 14 years ago. Only time I ever saw it. That aside, I loved my time living in the dorms. I always had a blast. Its more about who you live with vs. Where you live. Spent time in a frat, and while that was fun, I actually didn't like the living style as much. Moved into an apartment with my buddies from the dorm. Again, it was a absolute blast.

You make some fair point but lose credibility with saying that 2016 was “not a great team”. Just a few guys from that team playing at the next level, and they dominated play most nights. if anything, I’d say was a great team, and knowing what we know now, they may have won in spite of not great coaching. im not saying Berry doesn’t know hockey. That would be asinine, but he has proved to be a good assistant. I don’t think he has what it takes to push kids into that next gear. There is zero edge to him, like what blais or Hak had. im just bored of Berry hockey. Even when Haks teams struggled they were still fun to watch. These past two season have been BORING hockey.

We should all be going over to GPL and celebrating, their success over the past few weeks is only helping our pairwise ... more than we are helping ourselves.

I just don't remember another UND team struggling to score as much as this year. Its ridiculous.

Thanks for that worthless post.

Are you saying UND has more talent than Duluth? Not sure I’d agree with that right now.

Go. Go, and have success!

We had an opportunity to sweepnlast weekend, they MUST capitalize on this opportunity.

I sure hope so, being from MN and having perennial disappointment with sports teams, Sioux Hockey was always my one saving grace. I need that back. UND Basketball - down year, young ...likely no tourney UND Football - No playoffs Vikings - enough said Twins - playoffs are too expensive for the Pohlads Wild - they are trying their best to miss the playoffs That's a whole lot of watching sports with no real payoff.

You’re not wrong about it being irrational, even though I’d love to see Hak back. The more concerning part than the losses is the lack of grit we have seen over the past two years. The teams seem out skilled and out worked. Even when Haks teams didn’t have as much skill they just seemed to have a different mentality.

I miss UND being good. but seriously, I do miss the good ole days where UND, Wisco and the Goofs were all top teams. Old school WCHA was the absolute best conference. Honestly, its not much fun to see the Gophers struggle for more than a few games either. You want the teams you hate to be good, because it is that much more satisfying when you beat them.
