  1. Sorry; the third sentence wasn't geared at you specifically. It seems every fall the wheels fall off, and this team won't amount to anything, and this and that. That sentence was pointed at the multitudes of doom-sayers who come out every fall.

    And, before I get jumped on, I'm not saying that this team doesn't deserve some criticism, especially after seeing the difference between their play on Friday and Saturday nights at BU. I just tend to give them a little bit longer to get their stuff together before flying off the edge.

    No worries.

  2. November 2011. UND started 4-7-1 that year. Translation: back away from the ledge and give the team a little time to figure it out. That 2011 team ended up as a #1 seed and won the Final Five.

    Note: total credit to Schloss for looking up the info and sending out into the twitter world (though the 'translation' was from yours truly).

    ??? I was simply looking for the last time we weren't ranked. I knew it was sometime in the last 3-5 year (fully knowing those teams came back and had average to above average years). No need for the 3rd sentence.

  3. This is unfortunate because the main reason why he left Pentiction was that he was unhappy with his production in the BCHL (8pts in 10 games). Those coaches encouraged him to jump to the WHL thinking he would put up more points to help his draft stock down the road. And Gropp thought he would be able to play on a line with his good buddy Matthew Barzal.

    Obviously he's young and there is plenty of time for him to turn things around, but he has to be a little disappointed.

    Completely agree. I know what the WHL is about. He went there to showcase his skill and inflate his numbers by playing with Barzal. That is definitely not happening. Tough league though.

  4. They get much worse, they might get 70 shots on goal

    What I meant was it doesn't really matter how good we looked on Saturday night for 2/3's of the game. All that matters is they blew their lead at the end of the game. Same theme here so far the entire season (actually it started last year). This team cannot play with a lead whatsoever, 0 consistency. Hopefully that changes this weekend.

  5. A) 11-22-2 - the worst record in the BC years of Jerry York

    18-19-2 - Don Lucia's worst season at Minnesota

    12-17-9 Jack Parker's worst season at BU

    13-26-1 Red Berenson's worst season at Michigan

    11-23-4 Gino Gasparini's last season at North Dakota

    7-28-4 Scott Sandelin's worst record at Minnesota-Duluth (first season there)

    24-15-4 Dave Hakstol's WORST season at North Dakota

    Very true, he does not deserve to lose his job. What we are seeing now is that a lot of their draft picks and recruits are not panning out. Every once in awhile that will happen to an elite program. I am honestly not as high as everyone else on next years class either. Schmaltz will be very nice if he comes but the other forwards have struggled in junior hockey. Go to USHL.com and look who leads the league and look where they are going. More likely than not they will be decent college players. Beside schmaltz none of our recruits are doing anything. Our only hope is that we return all our players. I like our D but our forward recruits as a whole is somewhat concerning.

  6. The sun will rise, but we will not make the NCAAs this year...mark my words. if I am wrong, I will eat crow. If I am right, well, I get to be right.

    Hak and co need to go.

    You are correct that this team, most likely, will not do anything this year however because Hak has one bad season doesn't mean he should go. I'm not sure if you were being sarcastic. They look pretty bad however. The Gophs are just as young and they are on a whole different level.
