The latest UND hockey podcast is up now if anyone cares to listen to it.

Brianvf will be performing this weekend at the Lounge. Be sure to try the veal.

They showed his tourney stats on espn yesterday and I can’t quote them with 100% accuracy but let’s just say they were mind boggling. Something like a .94 or .96% save percentage and like a 1.something save percentage. Just sick numbers.

Gotcha. Thanks!

Dunbar didn’t see much action this year. Freshman Fisher Scott seemed to win over Mayotte and found himself a regular top pair D man as the season went along.

Old friend? Tell me this back story please.

I think he’d be a great addition to UND but I’m a bit biased too.

It was so cool- his brother was on some sort of break and made the trip out to the Springs a month or so ago to see Zach play and he scored a goal that weekend. I thought that was pretty cool.

Tell me about it! She likes to remind me too! lol

Good solid forward who has a little bit of scoring touch. Doesn’t score a ton but high energy guy. I think he torched UND the season prior down in the Springs.

They now hand out hardware for regional championships???

Odd they’d be carrying a trophy at the west regional. What trophy are they referring to?

My dad tells a funny story of how back in the 1970’s Michigan State was in town for a WCHA hockey series. Well, apparently, after the game, a bunch of Spartans players got drunk and thought it would be a great idea to kick out the windows of the JC Penny store that was then downtown. The players got hauled off to jail and my dad represented the JC Penny company. With the players in jailhouse jumpsuits at court on Monday, the JC Penny management decided that they did not wish to see the players’ careers hurt over their bone headed mistake so they offered that if the players paid for the damages, no charges would be filed. My dad said the coach, Amo Bessone, was all smiles in the court room and gladly agreed to my dad’s client’s proposal. I can only imagine the kind of punishment Coach dolled out at practice when they returned to East Lansing Lol. Anyway, back to our regularly scheduled programming. I thought this would be a fun story to share to lighten the mood around here given all the bad news we’ve been enduring today.

Agreed. I wonder if some complacency kicked in with Berry over the last few years between having long tenure and a fat paycheck. Scotty Owens’ last few years at CC, he wouldn’t even get on the ice for practice. He’d sit up in the stands with a newspaper while he let his assistants run practice. Also, he flew first class on road trips while players and assistants flew coach. Not good optics.

God, he had a terrible turnover in the opening minute of Friday night game up in Kalamazoo. The Broncos didn’t score but it kinda set the tone for the rest of the game. It was a pass you’d expect to see in beer league.
