But that's still not the same as being the boss.

Hutter is basically starting over from scratch. Schmidt and Jackson at least had some pieces in place when they took over.

Indiana looks really good. The U is going to have their hands full.

I'm sick of losing to this team. Time to change that.

However this season ends, we have seen this program improve by leaps and bounds in a very short period of time. The future looks bright. It's a big improvement from the abyss we were staring into after the Frozen Faceoff semifinal loss back in March.

Relax Eeyore, the sky isn't falling.

Schmidt knows he needs to fix the offense. If he thinks this is a good hire, I am inclined to believe him. If Danny ends up being Fruechte 2.0, I will not hesitate to call out Schmidt AND Danny for it.

I don't think Schmidt would bring in someone that doesn't align with his vision of the program.

Given how quickly Schmidt has turned this program around, I am inclined to trust his decision-making.

I will just sit back and watch what happens. We'll know a lot more once spring ball starts.

That ref should be fired and not allowed to ever ref again. Otherwise, you might as well adopt Roman Gladiator rules.

I think the long term goal is to be playing the best at tournament time. I think Jackson will have them ready for the playoffs.

FYP

That was the same UND team that crashed after clinching the Penrose. I don't see this UND team having the same results. I think 4 out of 6 points is very doable.

Montana State was fortunate all those false starts on offense didn't cost them.

I am surprised they don't have a better record.

This UND team will be harder to shut down given all our depth at forward. But like any conference opponent, you can never underestimate your opposition.

Or win the HEA autobid.

If we follow the old formula of split on the road and sweep at home, we'll be in a great position for the postseason.

As usual, I will just wait and see what happens. But since Schmidt took over this program, we have had way more good things happen than bad, so I anticipate it will be positive.

I have no problem with Freund. But I never want Jake Landry anywhere close to this program ever again.

That's because the green jacketed ushers want it that way.

Good point. But you have experience learning how to deal with those disappointments. Everything is more raw and emotional for kids.

But it's harder when you are younger because you don't have the years of experience and maturity to process it.
