Less and less bodies and more and more empty green seats at REA this year......
Yup, that was very apparent as the season rolled on. At least tickets should go cheaper next season.

UND has scored 2 goals or less 19 times this season in 36 games played.
Ouch! And I believe our top goal scorer only has 10 goals. Incredible.

As bitter and frustrated as this old man is, I think they win Sat night simply based on law of averages, how evenly matched/alike these two teams are (despite us only having 1 win in 5 games this season vs DU), etc. Sunday night, no prediction yet.

Any clue as to what the Minn ST-Mankato coach makes? I would hope we could double his salary, couldn't we or is he getting big bucks down there? I realize they play in the weaker WCHA but he has them in top 10 or maybe even top 5 in the Pairwise in a college town similar in size to GF with no real hockey tradition of any pedigree and yet competing with ST Clown, Duluth, and U Minn. Plus, he was the recent US coach in the junior (under 18?) world championships this past winter. Some hockey experts must recognize he's got coaching talent, hey?

Sounds like it, like I said I only saw a handful of games so couldn't get a good read on the offense, but I did watch the first CC game a couple weeks ago and UND skated circles around CC and just looked like they controlled the game but only had a few shots that were really quality, most were chest-shots from the blue line. Felt like that was a game they should have won but maybe that's been the norm lately, if so no wonder everybody's at wits end.
Spot on. It's one of two things or a combo-platter; either we are judging poorly in our recruiting or when players arrive here they are not developing as players. And I'm talking strictly offensive (forwards) players, defense and goal keeping aren't really the issue.

So business I mean funeral suits tomorrow night? Prove us wrong boys.
Well, "funeral" might be an apt description. Seriously, if we play like we did tonight and Den plays like they did tonight (uhhhh, minus us not scoring and them scoring 2 goals...) I like our chances of taking game 2.

Our attack is absolutely pathetic. That is NOT UND hockey!
Weeeeel,.....it is UND hockey for these last 2 seasons. For the last 20 years or so, no.

So the last two years we will have not made the NCAA tournament, killed the streak of hosting first round of the NCHC conference playoff, will now kill the streak of making the Final Faceoff. Yeah, Berry has done a bang up job alright. He is running this program right into the ground.
Hey, hey. Berry won us a natty. Fire Haks!

Has a D1 coach ever voluntarily stepped down and give up his contract?
Let's hope so.....

I've only been able to pick up a few games this year but it looked like they moved and controlled the puck pretty well but just didn't seem to be deadly around the net, is that how it's been this year?
You effin nailed it buddy. And right now I hear Tim Hennessey apologizing again for lack of scoring, basically saying bad puck luck ("no bounces"). This team's lack of ability at finishing/scoring is so inept they can't even buy a greasy goal.
-
Please...oh, please...bring in a few goal scorers or finishers next season...this is getting so freakin' old...or coach some of our underclassmen forwards on how to finish...bring in a new power play coach....please, just please...I beg you Berry...

Goalie interference??????
What are you watching??????
Yah, I said the same thing. I noticed as soon as they showed the replay of the Sioux barrage on net he didn't bring up the point again so probably realized what he said was BS.

Okay Brad Berry...
God, I sure hope he was being sarcastic...

Can just one or two effin upper classmen forwards (lower classmen for that matter, I don't care!) just step up and earn that scholarship. My God.

How can Denver be ranked 7 if they are so bad?
Edge in goaltending and I may be wrong but am guessing they didn't lose 2 out of 2 games to a "Canisius" type team or go winless in 2 games vs a "Bemidji" type team (UND did of course). That's probably the big reason for the difference in the two team's PW ranking I would guess.

That shows UND is only 3 games over .500
While DU is 9 games over .500
Big difference to me, plus DU has played a harder schedule than UND.
Which is also why DU is 7th in the country and Bowling Green is 16th with a 23-9-5 record.
Agree but that doesn't explain why AZ St is ranked as high as it is in the PW. Sure, they beat avg/poor tams but they've hardly beaten anybody good. Hell, the Goofs ain't nothing special and they slaughtered (swept) them a few weeks ago and I'm not sure AZ St even dropped in the PW, did they?. They must have something on somebody.

Lol that part is pretty irrelevant when it's been 17 years since you've played one.
Exactly, my first thought. Pretty small sample size/misleading even though it's been like 24 seasons as at least 2/3 of UND's conf playoff series' have been at home during that time.

Sure wish I could go support you all and the team in Denver. As my optimistic brother always say's, we're not eliminated yet! I'll be in Buffalo either way.
I to like this match up. Feel confident we will win the series. Darn one gaol games, missing the net so many times this year, let's hope Kermit's Luck guides our puck and win by 2-3 goals each game!
Big UND hockey fan and cautiously optimistic about our chances in Denver but I just hope we can score 2 - 3 goals a game, let alone win by 2 - 3 goals each game.

He’s referring to the three games we carried play in that we didn’t win.
We actually didn’t play all that well in the game we won.
I'm not so sure about that? Didn't we jump out to a nice lead and then of course played in safe mode to stay ahead for the win? Yah, not a great number of shots on goal for us (don't believe Denver did either) but rather see that with good goaltending on our part than we get 45 shots on goal and only nab 1 - 2 goals.

Huh? We beat them 4-1 the 1st game. We tied, lost in OT 2-1 and lost 2-1 in Denver. That’s 4 points
Yah, I thought the exact same thing.

So what are the odds during a down year that we have more fans show up in Denver than Minnesota had at Mariucci last weekend against a “rival”?
Great point. 50/50 chance maybe?

No offense or nothing at you (we are who we are) but, man (hey. it's all relative), my, my how standards have slipped these last few seasons.

I'm proud of this team. I've been critical throughout the year, but I see a lot of promise. Next year is a Penrose type year, and I expect them to win it. A lot of people here talk about how these guys can play with the top teams. It's nothing but top teams from here on out. Go Sioux!
I'll have what he's having bartender! Seriously, I do see better things next season ((my God, it better be better) but unless goal scoring/finishing skills take a big jump we'll probably be looking at 3rd or 4th place in conf play/hopefully make top 12 ranking in Pairwise but certainly not top-tier as like in the Haks days most seasons. I sure do hope I'm proved wrong but standards/expectations here lately have dropped just a tad for obvious reasons.
UND @ DU Saturday game thread. Will they score?

Yup, he gets it. Puts it all on a long nearing 2 seasons streak of bad puck luck and running into hot goalies.
