    UMD @ UND

    This is like Schlossman-speak promoting UND women’s hockey because they have European Olympians. Some fans might measure UND hockey success because the “NHL loves how UND develops players” for them? (For free and on the public dime!) Others measure UND hockey success by how UND competes against other college hockey teams and whether UND competes for a national title.

    Well, I would think so. Junior hockey is usually 20 and under.

    Blake was USHL Player of the Year in 1994.

    That’s my fear. 2026: Penrose; 0 NCAA wins; but extension 2027: miss NCAAs 2028: make NCAAs, but no wins 2029: Penrose; 0 NCAA wins; extension again 2030: repeat ….

    The 2010-2012 era.

    Hey, can we not drag the good name of Ohio State hockey down to the level of UND’s?!? The Buckeyes were playing in the frozen four back in 2018. (OSU also won another NCAA game in 2023 too). Good grief, this program has gone off the rails ….

    No kidding. Lest we also forget, Jake Brandt pull tabs; TJ Oshie elevator suspension (hey, when you gotta go, you gotta go); the entire Toews/Oshie/Bina underage drinking and then opening up the cop car door at Judy's bonanza; Bochenski's felony forgery (before he even got to campus); I mean the list really does go on with this cultured squad of hockey brethren.

    That might be a fair assessment, though, to be honest. "Close to being good" implies that they were not yet a good team, and certainly not great. At 18-17-2, the 2018-2019 team was pretty damn average. "You are what your record says you are." -- Bill Parcells.

    Correct. UND missed one regional from 1997-2017. If they can’t make a Fargo regional in 2019, 2023, and 2025, then the AD needs to be the second person fired immediately after the head hockey coach. I’ll continue to say it, if Brad doesn’t make a regional final this season, then he doesn’t need an 11th season behind the bench.

    Yes. Perfect example of how every team has luck in the playoffs. BU capitalized on it in 2017. Unfortunately, when Duluth and Notre Dame’s first game winning goals were waived off in 2021 and 2022, unlike BU, UND failed to capitalize.

    In 2021, UND was lucky to make it 5 OTs considering Duluth’s first game winning goal was waived off. In 2022, UND was lucky to make it to OT considering Notre Dame’s last second game winning goal was (again) waived off. Every team has luck in the playoffs. Some teams can’t capitalize on it, however. Some teams don’t.

    2011-2012 was Hakstol’s greatest coaching performance. Talk about doing so much with so little. Also the season JT Miller bailed right before the start of the season.

    Unlike the 06-07 team, somehow I don’t see the 24-25 team getting to April with only 3 more losses. Maybe only 3 more losses by February, but not April.
