And yet, we'll see TJ in net next Friday.

Bad injury in audience.

We cannot run this athletic department like the family restaurant, where the incompetent son-in-law gets to keep managing the place despite poor performance. Results have to matter. This is Division I athletics, not a small town high school.

What PK?

We are overthinking this. Berry just isn't head coach material. That's the problem. That's why a change needs to be made.

3-1 after 2. Need 20 solid minutes to close it out.

He took too long to pull the trigger.

That would be great.

I wonder how many more goals we would have this season if we would hit the net more.

Did he ever do anything at the next level? Just curious.

Taught by Robbie Earl? 😝

Lucky that SCSU missed the net.

Par for the course for this group.

We ARE ahead.

I'm just glad I can watch the games at home.

This team..........Jekyll and Hyde.

Another TJ special.

Went off a St. Cloud stick. Challenge for offsides.

Berry with the green tie. Both games are on Midco Sports 2.

I am afraid we are just what the doctor ordered for St. Cloud.

Starting TJ in net greatly increases the probability of a loss tonight.

With the current disappointing state of our program, I thought it might do all of us a little good to go back to a great weekend for our program. It was 28 years ago today (January 31, 1997). North Dakota was hosting Minnesota in a key WCHA series at the Old Ralph Engelstad Arena. Both teams were fighting for first place. A buzz built up on campus during the week leading up to the game. People started standing in-line outside the student entrance on the north side of the arena around 1:00pm. People who had cell phones (a new thing back then) had pizzas delivered to them in-line. People would bring firewood with them to put into the trash cans and set them on fire to keep warm (this was the infamous 1996-97 winter preceding the 1997 flood). Gopher fans who were UND students got snowballs thrown at them and were serenaded with "Gophers suck" chants. The fervor built to a fever pitch as we got closer to arena opening time. Inside, the tension and passion was thick enough to cut with a knife. The student section was as rabid as it had been in a long time. Our program was in the process of being resurrected after struggling for several years. Gopher fans considered us nothing more than a flash-in-the-pan who would go back to the bottom of the league sooner rather than later. Twin Cities media personality Dark Star gave a commentary ripping UND's program and history. Our fan base, obviously, took exception to those things. The rivalry was about to be put into overdrive. The games did not disappoint. UND won 6-4 on Friday night and completed the sweep on Saturday night 6-2 behind Jason Blake's hat trick. Blake's third goal sent the arena into total bedlam. The chippiness was evident throughout the weekend with plenty of pushing and shoving after the whistle. It was an extremely satisfying and emotionally exhilarating weekend after all the struggles of previous years. Especially against one of the most arrogant and self-absorbed programs in collegiate sports. Everyone knows what happened next. UND beat the Goofs in OT in the Final Five title game in St. Paul, then went on to win the program's sixth national title in Milwaukee. The rivalry with the Goofs was also raised to a white-hot temperature, where it would stay for years to come. May we go back to those days sooner rather than later. Let's Go Sioux!!!!!

I think the magic from those died out some time ago.

Reinventing it is a great idea. That is just too much land being misused and/or being severely underutilized.

Columbia Mall needs an owner that cares about it being successful.
