Already pumped for the season, but really wish the Big Sky would put together an app that could be streamed through Roku. Can't wait for MVFC and the ESPN3 coverage.

good deal, thanks

Can anyone clarify the NCHC tie breakers. Looks like we have the same number of points as Omaha, have beat them 3 out of 4, but are still stuck behind them.

If the O line can open up some room this year, we could have a ton of fun watching these guys. So much potential. Hope the coaches can get a little creative. Jeez, throw Greibel and Mckinney in the mix ... there is some scary potential. Hope to see some guys other than Toivenen and Wanzek running that reverse play, and even they did a solid job with it.

Interesting that Dulin will be moving to try CB. Would be awesome to see that work out, not going to hold my breath though.

Probably won't happen, and who knows if we even see them again this season, but how funny would it be to end DU's season in that national tournament. After last year, and how good they have been this year, I'm almost crying/laughing at the idea of that happening. Would be pretty fun.

Pretty sure, we though this same thing about Brock. Granted he had a lot of injuries to deal with as well. So often, be a hobey candidate or winner is not just because of the individual talent, but a product of the those around you. Jost is so so good, but he need to have a cohesive line that generates production. DOT line, CBS line ... those guys were always scoring, so certain players were lighting up the stat sheets. Agreed, he would likely wear a C, or at least an A.

This was my understanding as well. Nick wanted to play at UND vs playing the whole year in the AHL. Trade opened up an opportunity for him. Worked out great for him and Chicago, but wow ... we could have really used him this year.

Definitely a chance still. I'm really hoping we put together a full weekend in Miami, though I really though they would finally do that against Omaha. We've definitely seen the flashes of just how good this team can be. Just got to get in and you have a chance. I do think they will have to do so with an at large big though. I really don't see us winning the NCHC tourney. I do think if we make it to the NCAA tourney, there is always a chance.

Probably right, its not like any of them have had a ton of support from their surrounding players. Put them in a lineup with more talent (like Boeser last season) and they probably look much better. Hoping Jost stays, but the big concern for next season is to get more well rounded production.

I will say this about the team this year. Obviously, not what we are used to seeing with UND, but that could make the NCAA tourney much more interesting, IF (and that is a very big if) they actually make it. Every year, up until last year, I've though we had a legit chance to make a run and win it all and been left disappointed. Definitely don't get that feeling with this team, and with how they have been playing. At this point, getting in is the biggest goal and winning even 1 game would be a big accomplishment. If we are playing in the NCAA tourney, it won't be as heartbreaking to lose as in years past. It will still stink, but the expectations for this team just cannot be the same as they have been in so many other years. This team has talent, but seems to lack so much identity and leadership. Really really hope they can muster up enough wins to get in, but at this point its hard to find confidence in that happening. Though, if the team can find a way in, who knows what happens. That's the great thing about the NCAA tourney. Anyone can hit a hot streak and win it all. After the year is over, 3 people to watch will be Tucker Poolman, Brock Boeser and Tyson Jost. All will have the opportunity to leave. Tucker will likely be gone. Boeser will probably sign. Jost could go either way. Based on this season, I really don't think there is a single person on this team who should go pro. I don't think anyone has consistently played at a level that would warrant leaving early. It'll be interesting to see how it all plays out for sure, but a lot of guys would do well with some more development. Hopefully someone can step up during the off-season and really take a leadership role on this team.

You guys are funny. Isn't it obvious what Berry is doing? Last year he wins the Nat'l Championship with a team that was one of the best all year. That would be boring two years in a row, so he is creating a little excitement. Appear to struggle, just barely slip into the tourney, they hit the gas and smoke everyone. Its all an act.

This team just keeps getting it done. Not always pretty, but they get it done. Exciting end to the game.

Sick of the Hak vs Berry BS. When Hak was here, he was awesome. Didn't get the championship, but you knew you had a chance every year. Berry is 1 for 1, also pretty awesome. Nobody has anything to be complaining about in the coaching department at this school.

Woof, a sweep would make me feel so much better.

Anyone now where we sit now? Pairwise?

Agreed, but you should tell the players that. They are playing like it is. No D, no O, taking crap penalties.

Really? This has kind of happened all season.

Pesky should sit. Playing like garbage.

OR, you could buy a Ford or GMC and Make America Great Again!

reverse psychology?

Haha, well ya didn't get my whole post, but yeah

When you realize you lost as many games in a month, as you did all of last season! Times to get back in that win column!

That was the approach bemidji state took when they went after 3 Fitzgerald brothers.

Poor Joe, been gone for so long and still getting roasted on here
