It had to happen eventually

But according to some people, we are now as bad as we were at the end of the Gino regime.

Wow, who would think that Irish would be pessimistic? 

Pessimistic and realistic are two completely different things. 1 goal in the last 120+ minutes of hockey doesn't scream production from this group of assembled "talent"...and BTW that goal was by a Dman...on the PP...as he crashed the net.

This has been an issue all season. There were some big, juicy rebounds to be exploited last night, but we had nobody close enough to take advantage of them.

Pogo needs to step in this department and Gardner just need to get his face off the milk carton in my fridge and go from there.

they can to lose with Cam, with Hrinks too but why not with Tomek ? everybody looks for  and waits  for only his mistake but he is the youngest and he needs to mature in the game, Cam and Hrinks are much older and they can do mistakes ( and to get a bad goal !  like Hrinks todays first).

I think Tomek should get a chance to be in the net whole match tomorrow ...

Tomek is that you??

Seems like Boeser has checked out and is just going through the motions until he can get to Vancouver.

Boeser isn't going to crack Vancouver's lineup. He'll play in Utica for a year

Possibly, but without him we don't win #8, IMO.   And I know you aren't saying otherwise, scpa.

I agree.  He was a key cog.

When he's the focus he is relatively easy (for good teams) to contain.  His release needs to speed up and his motor needs work.  These were masked playing with caggs and schmaltz last year.  But he's young, he just needs to keep developing.

So just to nail it down for us, your realism says we have dark years ahead too, including the rest of this year?  Of course "dark years" to some is not winning a national championship every year.  Now tell me who is a realist.

Boeser has to be dinged up- there is no way that he has regressed as a player this much in one year

MILK CARTONS?  Do they even do that anymore?

I just got an Amber Alert on my iPhone.  Be on the lookout for North Dakota's offense. It's been missing for weeks.

No, I had already written that I am only his fan and I am watching his career. It is only my opinion...

Ok, just the way you speak lead me to believe that you were from another country.

Years ahead? I must have missed that part. Winning Natty every year? Missed that one too. This year this team is what their record is......that's not arguable. 2 wins in last 11 home game. 9 wins in last 23 or 24 games. 1 goal in last 120+ minutes. Those aren't fictitious numbers. It's their reality.

It's the beginning of February and I've officially waved the white flag on the season. Did they get outplayed in their last two games? Not really, they just don't have it this year. Not much else to say. Some veterans really let the team down this year. I never would have thought you'd see Boeser, Poganski, Gardner and Ausmus play like they have. 

I need to stop posting during games like the one last night. Still much too left of the season left to call it. Schlossman just posted about the next 3 games being key and could make or break their season. Let's get the W tonight, rest up, get Jost back and finish strong! Positives being they really haven't been that bad defensively, outside of ENG's, in the last two games they've only given up 1 legitimate, non-fluky goal. Just need to get a couple bounces for once.

I hope Tomek does well and therefore you have many more posts here.

I agree. I don't think it's unrealistic to expect that UND make the NCAA's on any given year. This stretch they've had recently is just not good enough. Think of it as all they had to do is take even 1 of 4 from Duluth and finish off Miami Friday night and we'd still be ok. I know we are still technically in as of today but the bleeding has to stop now. I think most would also agree that this might not sting as much if we didn't have a home regional this year.

If we can win tonight, this season is still very doable.

Hasn't that been the mantra around here for about two months now?

[JohnboyND7]

Good news for you guys, sounds like I'll be at the game tonight.  UND has not lost a puck game with me in attendance.

Think you 2 are onto a very close friend of Tomek here, which most likely has an eastern European accent, by the writing. That's all good, many people in this region have ancestors from there.
