While there's potential that next year's forwards give this team a shot it needs, I'm hesitant to believe it. The same was said for Kawaguchi, Adams, Mismash, Hoff, and Weatherby. Have we missed horribly on all those supposed performers, or is it a system that's stifling them. I could believe one or two, but I can't help but believe that at this point it's coaching, and that next year's talent will only add to fan frustration. I know we made the tournament the year after the championship, but remember we just barely made it. Without having an NHL star on that team, we're looking at not making the NCAA tournament since the absolutely loaded team of 16. That's a frightening thought that could be very well representative of the future. Edit for additional info: I can't believe this team is any less talented up front than the team of Pattyn, Parks, and Macmillan, or the 12 team lead by Lamoureux and Blood.

Pretty sure he's here all the time and has been saying the same thing since Canisius. I realize some of you are eternal optimists, but this season ended that weekend. This team isn't going to win out, this team is not going to go into Denver or Kalamazoo and win, but this team WILL miss the NCAA tournament for the second season in a row, and 2 out of 4 for Berry's tenure. I've heard everyone say that Berry did the recruiting for the championship team when they want to put down Hakstol, and I've seen that some group defend this downward spiral saying they are Hak's recruits. I like Berry, seems like a good dude, but if this team even looks remotely the same next season, he needs to go. Shaw better be gone after this season, power play guru my @$$.

Senden line draws a penalty. Can we strip Rhett's A and give it to Mark?

I've seen better power plays from squirts.

8th times the charm?

They killed a penalty! Quick, everyone back on the bus!

This penalty kill is amazing. I'm absolutely blown away by it.

Friday- Gardner Saturday- Mismash

Rhett

Gooch.

While I cheer for football to win that title as well, in the grand scheme of things, it is the JV title of college football. No FCS champion is going to be knocking on the door to face the FBS champion, and no fan in their right mind would say that it would be a competitive game. Therefore, FCS=JV College Football.

Mismash

You might actually be able to pay for your purchase with the wrestling shirts depending on what signatures are on there. It could possibly have some big names that have since moved on or retired and to have them all on one shirt would be pretty impressive.

I can assure you, it is 100% Senden.

doesn't that just mean he loses a year of eligibility? So if he came next year he could still only play 3.

May, or may not have an inside source.

I'm willing to bet he shows up sooner than later.

Well, to be fair, it's looks just as much like a hawk as the current abomination, but you can disagree. It's your opinion.

I could have got behind the logo on the left. The Burlington/Post Office logo doesn't do anything for me.

Well, there's a clear answer here then. Shutter the hockey program. It's obvious that only if the rest of the sports could use that budget, and we cut ties with the palace on the prairie, the other programs will start winning natties.

Do you think NDSU treats the football team equally as the tennis team? The sports that most other universities emphasize aren't the ones driving the revenue bus at UND.

I come for the hockey games. I spend money on hotels, dining, and entertainment. Would the hockey program still be great without the Ralph, maybe, maybe not. There's a lot to factor in that may not have been without the building. Is it the sole reason guys come to Grand Forks to play, no, but it sure doesn't hurt. Maybe a couple recruits don't by in without a pro arena in a college program. Maybe without those recruits the program isn't as good. Maybe the program doesn't maintain the level of excellence we've come to expect, and it's not the national titan it is. You can't tell me that during the 90s the future didn't look bleak. Granted we got 2 championships at the end which boosted appeal, but l firmly believe we don't win some of the "blue chippa" recruiting battles with a mediocre arena.
