No, it isn't the arena itself. It's how it has been managed.

I've let that go. Time to focus on the stretch run to the playoffs.

They still only managed a home split. Not what they were shooting for. Good thing they can't do that with postseason games.

I count 4 (NDSU, SDSU, Montana, Montana State). Are you including USD in that?

I don't think we know enough about the situation to analyze it. That said, I hope it works out for him.

The Cowgirls are a great team at home. Your team will have its hands full. But it's the playoffs, anything can happen.

Omaha is coming to REA next weekend, so I probably won't notice. But I agree with you, not a good idea.

I'll match the NCHC up with any other conference. Faison deserves all the credit in the world for spearheading the formation of this league 10+ years ago.

Anytime the NCHC can stick it to the Little 7, it's a good day.

When you lose players to the likes of Louisiana Freaking Monroe, things are bad. A great home schedule is going to be wasted on a bad team, I really hope I am wrong.

Beat me to it this time!

This "competitive rebuild" nonsense needs to be flushed. This team needs to be stripped of all but the most essential pieces and rebuilt along whatever philosophical lines the Wilfs and the front office decide on. As of now, I haven't been able to figure out what that is.

Yep. 45 minutes won't cut it in March and April.

A full 60 minutes please.

Those Holy Cross guys at the 2006 West Regional were pretty good!

The difference between period one and two is what I am talking about.

You have a point about the kicking, but I think the other areas of the special teams helped us reach the playoffs.

They are sharp looking.

Again, Jeckyl and Hyde.

What is with the Jeckyl and Hyde personality of this team?

Tolerance for mediocrity is much lower for hockey than it is for other sports.

That's my point, what is the problem? Is it from the neck up?

If this team tanks the second half of the season, I will be with you. But lots of hockey left.

The players are pretty much the same.
