You nailed it, they were a different (better) team tonight. Still, as well as they played, it took them two-2 man advantage power plays(and a solid pipe by UND) to pull this one out on UND.

Puzzled, where does he say or necessarily indicate that he "hates" girls hockey? My hunch is he's just not tuned in to it. I tried watching UND women's hockey (I coach girls soccer, watch women's national team soccer, and have 3 daughters/no sons so I've got no inherent bias against women's sports) but the fact they don't check makes it a different game. That's not good, bad or anything but in my mind (certainly others can disagree, that's fine) it's what inherently makes hockey a great sport in that is has skill, speed and physicality. One aspect of those, the latter, is missing from female hockey. For some, that's fine and I get it, but for me it just doesn't cut it in terms of viewing pleasure.

Good point. The last decade or several years of the WCHA Final 5 I St Paul was basically Minn home ice but UND sure did a number down there.

You know what, I might of argued with you but I saw highlights tonight of both girls and boys HS ND state hockey tourney and I'm not a great hockey mind and did not play hockey but watching the girls was like night and day compared to the boys in terms of skating skills, speed, power, balance. No contest, boys were superior based upon the highlights I saw, it just jumped right out at me . Can there be exceptions, sure there can, but overall no debate.

He made my heart skip a few beats too, he certainly likes to bounce around and flop and it makes it scary at times. Probably his style but it's scary. I think he needs to tame it a bit to improve.

What you're saying is spot on but what it means is it's essentially an average team or just slightly above average cus we have beaten some good teams on several occasions (although lost/tied some games to less than average teams), hence the #21 (?) PW ranking.

You make a great point, I hear you, yet a good number of folks on this board wanted Haks fired despite that achievement cus he kept coaching badly in the FF and natty final.

And that, my friends, is the elephant in the room.

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.
