On the disallowed goal can someone explain the following to me, if Johnson was pushed into the goalie by the Denver player (which he was), should that by rule still be interference?
I'm no great hockey mind and I wear green shades but my understanding of the rule is "no".

You guys aren’t going to believe me but there are a TON of drunken UND fans here at Magness Arena!
What was that about the Lindbergh baby?

Can we still sweep?
You betcha, believe we're winning the SOG and face-offs won battle.

SOG 17-11 UND
Yeah baby, UND going for the sweep! They better not outshoot them too bad though or risk being accused by DU of "showing them up".

It's lack of talent up front - pure and simple. Teams can get snakebit for a game, maybe 2 or 3 in a row, but not for two plus seasons. The game is faster here and we don't have guys who can keep up. We don't have the speed or puck skills. Watch our "Power" Play - when pressured we have an extremely hard time even gaining the zone and setting up. When we do, we spend an enormous amount of time teeing it up out front - the defense always has time to adjust - we don't have the skills for quick passes and movement. Of the top 50 freshman scorers in the country there are NO UND players - none. There is absolutely no excuse for this lack of talent at our school - none. This with the best facilities, fans, history in the country 3 years after our 8th National Championship. All "culture" no talent. It's nice we have guys who will support a teammate in a mile run. It would be much nicer if we had guys who could also score. Berry and company have a serious recruiting problem and we see the results on the ice. Time for Berry to go. If we are relying on next year's class to save us we are delusional.
Wow, with our culture, recruiting, facilities, draft picks,...and we don't have 1, not 1, freaking top 50 freshman scorer in the nation? Wow, that's telling and says a lot/all.

Not at all
Yoy. That's a harsh call to overturn that goal IMO but unexpected, certainly not.

Look at the shot charts and quality of scoring opportunities in the games they have lost. To me, it’s the coaches job to put them in position to score, and the players job to execute. What’s off in the losses they have appears to be execution and not opportunity.
I don't necessarily disagree but this is college and, fair or not, coaches recruit those players who "execute". Using that logic, Haks was the greatest coach ever you'd have to agree based on your logic then as he coached/set up his team and gave them the "opportunity" to win a natty damn near every season but got blasted by many for those players not "executing" in the end.

I disagree. We've seen this team out work and out play a lot of teams and lose. Scoring is the issue, clearly. Next year will be better, and the year after will be a fun one to watch.
Agree, "scoring" is the issue and getting more goals than you allow is what clearly defines a team that's better than the others. It's the most important thing, bar anything else (score more than you concede). I do agree thought, next season will be better but it better be! No where to go but up (I HOPE!).

People bi*** about what berry says post game but he puts this team in a position to win game after game and they poop the bed. That’s not on coaching. At some point you have to capitalize on the opportunities you have and this team hasn’t figured out or isn’t capable of doing that. Every Sioux fan feels like they’ve seen this same movie almost every loss this season.
How do you necessarily know it's not his coaching (you checked out the power play percentage, SOG scoring percentage, and goalie save percentage) that puts this team in a position to lose game after game? Another coach (no names...) might put them in a position to win most of these games.

Who really fits that bill on this team though? Bernard-Docker / Tychonick / Mishmash are really the only three. It's still obviously early in his career, but a guy like Weatherby although drafted and did have a monster year, did it as an overager. I'm always more cautious with guys like that. As we've seen, you don't have to be drafted to be an impact player (Poolman, Kierstad, Bast), but I have a good feeling about next years class. There's going to be four forward that will be drafted higher than anyone other forward except for Mismash. Those four are true high end players.
You make a good point and I do hope you're right.

All part of the trade-off you felt was fine since they won that natty...
Hey, Mafia Man what's wrong with you? I wanna be just like Wisco hockey! That's my ambition/dream/definition of excellence!

...and don’t look now but CC is starting to play some good hockey. We talk about home ice for UND but there’s a realistic chance the boys in green could be #6 seed. Plus UND has two games out in Colorado Springs.
You probably nailed it, we could certainly be a #6 seed in reg season conf play which would probably put us at W Mich in 1st round--yikes! Don't like them chances.

I'm getting ahead of myself looking at next year, but he's the perfect example of why I'm so excited about next years class. You have a bunch of guys that are highly skilled, high caliber true freshman coming in. Tychonick took awhile to situated into the college game, but once those type of guys do, watch out.
I hear you but I'm starting to grow tired of highly skilled/high caliber/high-end recruits (hear it every season with all our draft picks) coming in but they can't produce/produce minimal goals and points. It sure seems to be a trend lately.

Not a good penalty by Senden in the last minute but the continued ineptness with finishing grade A chances is the anchor that sinks this team again.
You nailed it, bud.

Our forwards have to start creating offense
No doubt, better (to start) late (over half a season in) than never I guess.

0 goals on 31 shots is not a good scoring percentage.
What's wrong?
Hot goalie?
Like the one poster said, start citing shooting percentage, not SOG. And that's piss poor shooting at 0% for the game/8 % (or lower) on the season.

Can't blame you based on play/results these last few years, team goes on a 3-3 (or 4-2?) run and gain a split at home vs a real good and hey, those are damn good times anymore! Prior to these last few years, for many years that was considered nothing special really or even a bit of a funk. My, times have changed.

Wow, Hain going for the goal was just literally tackled in to the goal by a DU guy and no freakin' penalty call! Huh?

Is 2g on 7 shots better than 0g on 22 shots?
No, not according to UND media, Fargo Herald hockey writer, and radio voice...22 SOG for naught is better than just 7 SOG w 2 g.

Same verse, sing it again...wash, rinse, repeat...getting so tired of this...it's so freakin' predictable.

Our home game vs W Ill they scored 60 pts on us in the 2nd half. UND is not a very good team at all on a terrible run, need a coaching change for next season if this doesn't improve this season.
