Are you kidding me...the guy is hung out to dry all night.  Miami was supposed to be bad and they dominated us all night.  Cam made some big saves.  This loss was solely on the players.  Berry needs to find line combos that work.  

Yeah cam made some good saves, also let some bad ones go. Why do we expect more out of our seniors, unless they are a goalie. Again, I like Cam, and I think he does need a little more help from the surrounding cast; that being said he needs to elevate his play. Letting in too many softies.

This wasn't on Cam. 

Let in 4 goals against a team that hadn’t scored in 3 1/2 games.

If Cam does not let in that lousy second goal tonight, UND wins.  But, the rest of the team also played poorly.

Was he the only player on the ice?  They were in our zone firing pucks from the first until OT.  We had zero sustained pressure/possession all night.

I'm cancelling the annual Hogg event if the team is not here for the Frozen Faceoff.

Completely agree. I like Cam, but he has cost us more close games than he has really won for us.

We were up 3-0. Pressure was all on Miami at that point. They responded, we folded.

As much as I'm disappointed with the season, I am very pleased at how many people are singing Hak's praises. I knew people would want his consistency back at the first sign of trouble, I just never expected it would occur so fast. 

[willythekid]

They whole team played like garbage for most of the game, and yes, Cam is part of that team.  To say that none of this loss is on Cam is ludicrous.  I'm not sure that Thome could've done better...  but Vegas odds are he wouldn't have done any worse.

2016 suddenly seems like it happened in 1986, doesn't it?

Imagine this place if Minnesota, St Cloud, Denver or, egads, UMD wins the title this season.

They'll win tomorrow night. I'll get my hopes up again. Starting to feel like an abused wife.

MafiaMan and SiouxBoys.....so what were you saying about Cam?  Kind of quiet.

Hard to comment on a game I didn't watch.  Of course, if Thome starts and finishes a 10-9 win tomorrow night, your sports headline will no doubt be: 

THOME COMES UP BIG AGAINST PIONEERS!

*sigh*

[TheFlop]

Exaggerate much?  I thought after last Saturday.....one game.... that all doubts were put to rest?  This is a mediocre team that absolutely needs to start the young promising goalie of the future now.

[Downgothegoofs]

It’s over, I hate to say it but it is

[90siouxfan]

Maybe thier thumbs are sore from social media #fnoxblows3.....

For it. Dress 6 forwards, 3 Dickinson and 1 goalie make the players decide who,  catered meals for the rest of the semester on the line....  #hakwood

But, it's not. A win tomorrow and we're back to where we started tonight. Another must win on Saturday and they're 2 for 2 in these, so far.

Still control our destiny. This loss was incredibly disheartening, however.

[RideOrDieOshie]

Refs were brutal as usual. Never seen us lose leads in my life like we have this year

I'm sure you're ecstatic about tonight's results..

Berry has continued Hak's chip-it-up-the-boards breakout tendency, which has frustrated me in the past.  I know all teams in all leagues try to keep the game on the perimeter in the D zone, but UND has always been so predictable in its transition that teams find it easy to anticipate and can be more aggressive in jumping the pass.  When they do that successfully, they control possession.  Miami did that again last night.  

In the past, we've had enough high-end talent that we could usually make teams pay for being aggressive in that way.  I think this year's team tries just as hard, they just don't have enough talent to make opponents pay for those strategies.   That's why there are so many games when we look like we are late to pucks and watching.   It's not laziness;  it's other teams getting by with aggressive strategies.    Blasi is good enough coach to know that, particularly if his team has little to lose.  The irony is that a team with less talent will probably be more likely to adopt a conservative, predictable transition strategy.  

I know Hak, Berryl, and all those coaches know a million times more about the game and coaching it that burd does.   Is burd full of shyt?
