Sasha leaving was a clear cut case of addition by subtraction.

No other fan base obsesses over other team's goaltenders like ours. I sure hope the players don't allow good goaltending stats to get into their heads. I believe that 80% of success in sports is from the neck up. As for wanting to play Holy Cross, they gave us fits in 2004. And we know what they did to the Goofs in 2006. So be careful what you wish for. Any team can trip you up this time of year. As long as we don't come out flat and play at our best, I won't be as disappointed as I was two years ago (2024). That postseason left a bad taste in my mouth for a long time.

If you're suggesting we do what we did in 2021 because of COVID (8 team single elimination at the #1 seed), I would think that is worth exploring.

Sure looks like we are weeding out Berry recruits that are not panning out.

As a season ticket holder, I purchased mine on Sunday.

I imagine some students will come back early to make the game. Spring break is over next Monday.

People were willing to pay that for a neutral site tournament in St. Paul. But I think they'll have to lower those prices if we are going to have these games on campus.

Winning the NCHC playoff title might help us in grabbing the #1 overall seed.

J.J. isn't ready. What would you do?

I think the MAC did that to get on television and not have to compete with the bigger schools and conferences for television exposure. Boise State did the same thing when they were building their program.

Having two-way forwards also makes it easier to match up with opposing teams.

The results of the conference playoff tournaments will have an influence on how all this plays out.

Hope he invests his signing bonus wisely.

In the current world of intercollegiate athletics, you either go big or go home. Technology becomes obsolete very quickly. And this will also further enhance the Alerus Center as a concert and event venue outside of UND FB.

When LucentHD loses (and I believe they will), will they continue complaining about it?

I don't think he has a lot of years left.

Being the only school in the conference to have two players each on the 1st and 2nd team is pretty good.

My favorite team EVER.

Those guys were great.

How can he prevent that? We have last change being at home. If he trots out their top line, we just put whatever our shutdown line is.

There are no easy games from now on. My attitude is we'll have to beat whomever we'll have to beat. Focus on what you can control. This team does a good job of net-front presence in the offensive zone. That helps screening the goaltender and having players in position for second and third chance opportunities. Because beating a goaltender at long range or even cleanly up close at this level is very difficult. If Denver can win three titles in seven years (not counting the 2020 COVID year), they must have had to go up against good goaltenders to do it. The team cannot let certain opposing goaltenders get into their heads, it can become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I'll wait until all the conference postseason tournaments are completed before I worry about that.

At Judy's Tavern with @gfhockey?

In case you didn't notice, Miami was much better this year and I think they'll be even better in the next couple of years.

What's wrong with having confidence in the team? I haven't felt truly confident in this team for quite a few years and it is nice to feel that again.
