Yeah, well when you have 8 national championship, and have had so many consecutive seasons of home playoffs in the first round, and made the tourney for so many years straight; you tend to have higher expectations than most.

This is the most excited I have been to watch a series in a while. Given how the team played overall last weekend, there is a lot to be positive about going into Miami. That and big playoff implications. I've never seen this team miss the tourney since I became a fan. Hope to see that streak continue! Am I right in saying we could lock up home ice in the first round this weekend with a sweep and a few other things playing out right? I believe a Omaha/CC Split and a Western struggling against Duluth.

Agreed, and makes complete sense. This move aside, I am interested to see what Gersich does. He could certainly use another year (as a lot of guys could), but I think he leaves and gets paid, which I also get. Hope to see him back because he is a heck of a player, and I think as some other players develop around him, he could contribute a lot as a senior.

I don't know much about this guy. What are people's initial thoughts? We still in on Rizzo?

The issue with this team all season has been consistency. We have seen the flashes of what this team can do. UND is not going to be a high scoring team, but when they play their game, they can product enough to match their strong defense. This was by far the best series I've seen them play in a while; with the exception of some bad penalties and poor penalty kill in the 2nd period of Friday, the team was very encouraging. Play like they did this past weekend and we should be able to sweep Miami and, at least, split with SCSU. The key is "Play like we did this past weekend". This has been a tough year to watch overall, but the season is not lost yet. Last time we were on the edge of making the tourney we ended up in the Frozen Four, and as much fun as it was to win the tourney in '16 we were also pretty heavy favorites. It would be really fun to make the tourney and make some noise as underdogs. First step, win and dominate against Miami. Let's see how Berry and his upperclassmen can lead this team.

So who is coming next year? Weatherby, Keane, Senden? Who else? Is Tychonik still two years away?

Exactly.

Hak’s second half surges started earlier than now.

I don’t think anyone should, as nobody will likely be playing in the league. But they will, which is disappointing.

Wolanin and Gersich are gone. Book it.

Spot on. Berry is very likeable, but some of the play last season into this disaster makes him very suspect. Not saying can him, but there are some major questions here. This has been the most disappointing team I have watched since becoming a fan in 03.

Agreed

Makes no difference if we keep taking dumb penalties.

I did last year, but I haven't watched nearly as much this year. Hope to see a more exciting product next season.

I'm confused, what?

Not cool, ESPN updated me with a 58-57 final UND win. Then updated me again with a 61-57 win. I’d have been ticked if they’d have blown it after already thinking it was sealed up.

can we make a NCAA Hockey game finally happen too?

solid point, and there have been plenty of opportunities where we have been outplayed to steal at least one.

Not sure how old she is, but my kid would have been in time out for that.

Ok so who is in charge of recruiting under Berry?

Actually I don’t have a major issue with some of the actual players. We have seen flashes from Adams, kawaguchi etc.Consistency is the problem with this team, as in there isn’t any.

I like berry, but why wouldn’t anyone want Hak back, had a lot of great years, some with low talent teams. Guy was great. Can Berry bounce back? Sure. But there is some legit concern given how we are playing right now.

Shaw is probably a solid parent to one guy on the team. That’s about the extent of the contribution right now.

He is if Philly gets rid of him.

Sometimes you yank the goalie to send a messages to your defense.
