    He is not well. Lay off him. 

    Uhh, he did not play "well" (maybe he's a great face-off guy or whatever, I'm judging strictly based on points-production) even when he was "well" these last few season.  Again, offensive production aside, maybe he does other small things well (I'm no great hockey mind).

    Jones is going to get a penalty for contacting Weininger there on the scrum.  

    I guarantee you he is fine....what????  He barely got him???  Is he coming out?

    Yup.  He simply came out so he could try to grab the 5 min penalty (perfect timing for it). Yoy. So typical nowadays.

    Didn't play in the 3rd. Kudos to Berry but did it need to get to game #34 to do it?!?!

    Yah, but finally got benched when it didn't matter though.  Do it 2 - 3 weeks ago (bench him) when it mattered and perhaps we win a game or two extra.  When he got benched tonight it didn't matter either way really as W Mich had all but officially won their game and whether we win or lose Fri or Sat we know we have to go on the road next week and then go on to win the Frozen Face-off in St Paul to make the ncaa.

    If you are Denver or Western Michigan they would probably prefer to play UND than CC.

    I agree 100%.  They might not quite be as defensively sound as we are but (and I'm stating the obvious) their offense is certainly superior to ours (like 2/3 of college hockey teams I'm guessing).

    Sunday’s Minneapolis Star Tribune:  “Minnesota Eliminate’s Men’s Hockey Program”

    Sunday Twin Cities Twitter:

    “THEY WERE LITERALLY PULLED OFF THE ICE!”

    Wednesday's Fargo Herald 3 days later:  "Minnesota Eliminates Men's Hockey Program".

    Yeah.   Easy to call the GOALIE for interference.  But it's 22. So it must be on him

    Agree.  I'll be the last to defend Gardner and his propensity for taking  stupid/costly penalties but on that play the goalie is behind his net and Gardner tries to squeeze between him ant the net to pursue the puck and somehow gets a goalie interference call against him.  Huh?  It was plainly the refs looking at reputation only and trying (which they did) evening the penalty calls at two apiece.

    Incredibly disingenuous of FSN to list their conference ranking next to their name. Makes the casual viewer think they are 3rd and 6th in the country.

    Are you freaking serious?  Nobody does that.  Wow, spot on, very disingenuous/misleading.  Cheap.

    I'd like to see a sweep. I'd like to see entertaining hockey. But given how this team has been most of the season i foresee a split and some ugly hockey. 

    Yup, spot on.  Tonight's game a microcosm of the whole season.  Tons of shots on goal but only like 1 goal after 30 shots while UNO ties it up on like only 12 shots (luckily that one shot they had 1st period went off the post).  How does this proud hockey program with it's recruiting, facilities, etc. have a team with such lack-luster finishing/goal scoring/offensive creativity that equates to a Yugo?  So sick of it when programs such as Mia, Neb-O, CC, W. MIch, etc. have more offensively skilled players than we do?  It boggles my mind.  Just so frustrated after these last 2 - 3 seasons.

    Agreed.  I think if you are a fan of either school and you want to go to this game, you are going to get tickets.  That being said, I think the demand is going to be high due to fans missing out on the Vegas game.  I could see 12,000+ UND fans at this game.

    Count me in!  I heard from a pretty reliable source linked with REA that the deal (UND vs Penn St in Nashville) is all but signed so surely gotta be something coming out soon on it.

    Chicago is like every other major city in North America - if you stay in the right part of town, you're likely to be just fine.

    For example, Las Vegas has a higher rate of violent crime than Chicago, but I didn't hear of any incidents affecting UND fans.

    https://www.bestplaces.net/compare-cities/las_vegas_nv/chicago_il/crime

    Exactly.  My guess is you're likely in more danger odds-wise while driving approx 700 miles to/fro GF - Chicago than you are actually being in Chicago assuming one uses common sense when/where you're in the Windy City.

    Can someone explain to me how #8 ASU loses two to #22 Minnesota and stays at #8? And Minnesota only moves up one to #21? Jim Dahl?

    To be honest, although Ariz St has beaten some good teams (and so has UND), I really can't comprehend how they're so high up in the PW ranking.  Their strength of schedule is nothing special.

    It's funny that people complain the coaches won't sit someone, then the coaches sit someone, but it's not the someone they want, so they complain about that too.  Is it possible that the coaches see everything, or at least much, much more than the feverishly imagining masses do, on which to base that decision? 

    Huh?  We've all seen what Gardner has been doing late in games to muck it up.  We've watched those games so have seen it.  And it's from a senior captain, no less!  Unless GBH humped Berry's dog or hit on the water boy after practice, not sure what could top what Gardner's done when it matters most in games.

    Gardner with another poorly timed penalty. When will he be sat to make a point? Ridiculous 

    I did not bother watching the game tonight, instead took in the class B girl's hoops final at the Betty (it was full, loud, and rocking--great to see!), but I did follow the CHN score app on my phone.  So Gardner was not benched finally benched tonight following Friday night's performance against CC (which followed his debacle in last Saturday's game vs Duluth).  He must have something on Berry, I do think.

    A win tonight vaults UND to what in the Pairwise?

    I would guess a win over an improved but still just an average team at best would not have vaulted us at all but I have not seen the latest/greates PW rankings since following Friday's games.

    Geez that’s bad. 

    That fourth line. :crazy:

    No Adams? He’s one of the only forwards that showed glimpses of talent last night. 

    Rhett still playing despite taking penalties to lose games?

    JBD must be injured? Man...JBD, Mismash, Jones, Scheel, JJ, etc etc. Hits just keep on coming. 

    Not sure what to expect tonight. Wouldn’t be surprised by a CC rout or a “comeback”, too little too late UND win. 

    Reminder me again, not that he's a top scoring forward but WTH is JJ's injury/illness/…?    And is it just me or is Nick Jones always nicked up and missing games frequently it seems in his nearly 2 full seasons here at UND?  Seems like he's missed a good portion of games despite not really having a major type injury (?).

    I will admit it: I wanted a NC badly and said I didn't care of they made the tourney every year in exchange for just one.  

    Mea Culpa: I long for the days of Hak and having a chip, chair and a chance every single year come March.

    My long-time buddy fits the description/said basically same thing today that you just stated.  Perhaps the perfect coach for UND would be combo platter of Haks and Berry.  .

    Are you kidding or did he really say this? It’s really disappointing because I’ve tried to be in BB’s corner. If there is no sense of urgency and a lacking of respect for the opponent that is 100% square on the coach’s shoulders.  This is supposedly big time college hockey. Millions of dollars are being spent by fans, boosters, and taxpayers. If Brad and the staff don’t  take this seriously then why should fans or anyone else. 

    Yup, he said that as I turned the radio on for the post-game show.   I laughed as I thought he's finally being critical/hard on his players (you could tell) but thought that's ultimately on you guy no matter what.

     I'm not defending anything. We suck and it hurts. I don't understand you revelling in it.  

    "Reveling" in it?  Like me, I believe he's frustrated/effin sick and tired of it (albeit, MM tosses in some sarcasm to dull the pain) these last few seasons and would surely love to see it end.  At least with Haks we nevery suffered from being a bad/mediocre team all season long, we only suffered from being a good to great team pretty much every season that could not win the big one come late in the season.  Sure, that still hurt big-time but at least we were not embarrassed or apologizing to anyone.

    Tim's voice sounds sad on the radio. He either has a cold or reality is setting in.

    Not sure as did not hear him tonight but I would think it's the latter as his voice has really gotten "old" the last few years (listening to his morning show), which really is ironic as he looks to be in great shape and has certainly kept the weight off in his middle/middle-late age.
