I think this illustrates the need to have a much tougher regular season schedule in the future. Playing the likes of Lindenwood hurt us this time of year when the Pairwise Rankings become so important to getting an at-large bid. This isn't a bottom-feeder program anymore; we need to start scheduling better teams.

The weekend sweep was awesome and badly needed by our team. That being said, we have to maintain the level of play we established this weekend for the next two weekends, both on the road (@UMD and @SCSU). This team cannot afford too many losses down the stretch from this point on. We need to play well all four games, not well one game and putrid the next (which happens way too often with this team). I know we still have a mathematical chance to win an at-large bid, but I would feel more comfortable about it if we at least make the NCHC tournament and win at least one game there. The next three weeks will determine how far this team can go.

Very funny. So you are a "narcissist" if you have the guts to go against what the majority think? Whatever floats your boat.....
-
You know your team has a bad PP when 4x4 is preferable to a 5x4 advantage.
-
A solid win and this time of year you take the points however you can get them. Tomorrow night is the next most important game of the season. We must win our home games from here on out. I do not want to be on the road for the first round of the playoffs.
-
Yeah, that is kind of strange. I think FB will turn it around in a couple of years.

I appreciate your input to this topic (seriously, I do), but let's remember that Jerry York took over a putrid Boston College team and had to rebuild it before he was in contention for NCAA titles. Dave Hakstol took over a Porsche and has underachieved with it. That is the issue some of us have with him.

ND High School Hockey Tournament

Nice to see Central back in contention this year; the last few years have been brutal. -
Fire Brewster? No way; he is one of our top performing coaches right now. The women's team helps take my mind off of the woefully underachieving men's team.
-
If pointing out obvious problems counts as a "negative rant", then so be it. Ignoring it won't make it go away. And Starman is the poster child of ducky and bunny logic. I honestly don't pay much attention to what he thinks. We have ZERO margin for error from this point forward and will probably have to win the NCHC tournament, unless we get help from other teams.
-
Actually, it's the eternal optimists that rake the pragmatic realists over the hot coals for daring to question the coaching staff and how they do things.
-
I think he started to realize that a coaching career involves a lot of travel and long hours at the office. I am thinking he wants to spend more time with his wife and kids. Good move Brooks.

Come on ladies, don't blow it down the stretch! We could use some playoff excitement in Grand Forks in March!
-
I guess I am willing to give Jones one more year based on the fact that his first Division I recruits are seniors now and will be gone next year. I want to see if the next batch of kids work out better for him. But if it's the same old crap next season, then it's time to move on.
-
Jones has definitely been here long enough to be held responsible for the current state of the program. As was Mussman. When Brewster can have the women's team contending for a Big Sky regular season title (and with it, home court for the Big Sky postseason tournament) in his second year, that makes the struggles of the men's team look even worse by comparison. I give him one more year. If it's more of the same tired old crap next season, time for a buyout.

And in your world, those two things are mutually exclusive.

I remember hearing radio highlights of the 1999 regional final at Hyslop; it sounded like the Old REA during a Gopher series! That is what we need at The Betty for the Big Sky tournament; the BESC is our secret weapon.
-
I hope that Faison will have the good sense to have it in The Betty. It would be like those North Central Regionals we used to host at Hyslop; loud, energetic and fun.
-
I was referring to Blais being an easy guy to ask questions of and get along with. As for Blais being on the hot seat in Omaha, I believe he will retire from coaching after his current contract is up, so I think that question is moot.
-
Well, we had one of those guys for 10 years, but we aren't allowed to mention his name anymore (*cough, cough* Dean Blais *cough, cough*) least we get accused of living in the past.
-
I honestly don't think Gwoz was fired for lack of success on the ice; I think it was some political crap off the ice involving the administration. And I think they will live to regret it.
-
The last year of the Old REA, we were WCHA Regular Season champs and runners-up both in the WCHA Final Five and the NCAA Frozen Four. I was at practically every home game that season and I can tell you the 3,291 figure is pure crap. USCHO needs to double-check that one.
-
I hope you are right. We have heard that before and it hasn't come to fruition. Minot (1992) remains the only West Region team to win a state title.
