Fire Haks!

I agree 100%. The Betty is fine (and not the issue), believe me.

I hear your sarcasm and yes, the arena is fine. It's the recruiting and coaching that isn't. This is not good, a once proud program that in its D-2 heyday beats ORU looks like a middle of the road/meddling D-2 team now. If there's not a coaching change after this season, my gosh. What Roebuck built, a proud women's hoops program with a real nice fan base (now deteriorating), has just been burned in a dumpster fire these last few seasons. And next season looks like the downward trend continues. Yoy.

And these last few seasons approx one-half of Berry's post-game radio comments get old too.

Groundhog Day...

I was not able to listen to the game but got periodic updates from a person seated next to me at men's hoops (radio via headphones) but I just assumed you would do that down 2 with a pp to gain the 2 extra attackers. Hard to believe Berry didn't do that. Yoy.

That's a big key, can we win tonight back-to-back and sweep a top qlty team on the road tonight? I may be wrong but, even though we've beaten/tied a good number of qlty teams, I'm not sure we've even swept any team at all this season of any quality (currently top 20), have we?

All they said was the huge intestinal parasitic worm has an upper body injury.

What I like seeing was getting 3 goals from our frosh and 2 goals from the sophs (if I'm not mistaken?)! A good sign.

Yup

But that was such a BS reversal/call on the replay. Look at Denver's reaction, none of the players including the goalie even, protested the goal it appears.

Guessing fairly even maybe?

Yah, I thought the same thing...

I know it was more than just wins and losses but I was surprised (still am) when Minn St-Mankato didn't get in the NCHC over Miami. Had to be something, I'm sure.

So it makes the hard print Forum but not the hard print Herald. What a joke.

By no means a Mafia Man apologist but Denver (along wit St Clown) is now off the table too. Two down, two to go, who then do we sweep?

So HTF did Mishmash's knee get hurt? Yoy.

MM, you might be wrong in terms of "close". You're just looking at wins. You haven't accounted for puck luck it appears so can't put that on us (outside of our control). I haven't checked the stats but aren't we 4-0 (or 3-1?) if looking at "wins" as winning SOG and face-offs won (percentage) only?

Hey, I hear you and agree with you. Frustrating to say the least. I seriously doubt we make the NCAA tourney but if we do/can, I'm just saying this is about the only way we can make it. Odds though are admittedly against it (winning NCHC tourney). I give Berry next season to put up or get out.

I saw DU grabbed a solid (but not great) senior grad transfer player for this season from out east. I sure hope to hell Mr. Berry is looking at that avenue as a potential source to elevate this team next season. Could be a nice addition, sort of like getting Mr. Jones last season (although he was not a grad transfer so sat out a season I believe).

AJS, I think we're on the same thought process for most part. Big point of mine is the teams they would play will already have made the NCAA tourney (as you note) regardless of NCHC post-season conf tourney result. Don't know for sure though if I "like this team on the road in round one" to win 2 of 3 at Denver though (or even W Mich) with our away struggles despite all other circumstances though. But, there's a chance...

Odds are WMU sweeps us BUT in close/tight games with little scoring. Man, I'm brilliant!

Agree, got me. Had we had a decent goal scorer me thinks we sweep Denver 4 games on the season.

Denver is a nice team but nothing special (like us). What's really odd, with how tough/close we've played good teams this season (as frustrated as I've been with our shortage of goals this season I do see improved offensive play lately from the boys), is that I think we have a better chance of WINNING (neutral ice, large contingent of Sioux fans, 1 game only vs ea opponent, opponent likely already qlfd for NCAA tourney regardless, etc.) in St Paul at Frozen Face-off IF we can make it there vs winning 2 out of 3 in 1st round at either Denver or W Mich. We just gotta make it to St Paul, that's most likely the tuff part as I think conf tourney home ice is out the window. If we don't win NCHC post-season conf tourney though no way in hell (stating the obvious I guess ) we make NCAA tourney.

Yoy, yoy, yoy, how Gardner does not put that away in the last few seconds. Story of the season. Offensively challenged.
