Cratter Posted March 31, 2019 Author Posted March 31, 2019 Despite what some people will tell you. DU is a good team. As witnessed by being Top 10 all year in the Pairwise and now a Frozen Four berth. 1 Quote

I could see them getting to the championship game, especially if the D and goaltending keep playing like they did this weekend. I'd pick Duluth (if I were to jump the gun) to beat them though if they faced off. Quote
Oxbow6 Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 So how many regional tournaments am I going to buy tickets for with Berry as head coach that the actual ticket is worth less than the paper it's print on? Quote

Hochey fans are supersticious. Maybe your 'bad luck' Don' buy any next year. Quote
siouxweet Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 Just have them attend the youth hockey shooting camp in East Grans Forks this summer and things should be fine. Quote

Godsmack Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 I like the UMass story. Besides facing DU as a reason to root for them, I like the way they play. I hadn’t seen them until this weekend and loved their aggressiveness and moxy (I sound like Dave Starman). I also like the fact that for years, they’ve been a perpetual bottom feeder in Hockey East so it would be great to see them get some of the limelight besides the usual suspects, BC and BU. 1 Quote
Papa Smurf Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 Explain to Me again - How we only have one Natty since the Ralph? Meanwhile St Cloud kicks Ass - at least in regular seasons - Duluth wins and Denver keeps rolling?? WTH? 2 Quote

They have a very skilled club and the best player on the ice. Of course I say that after only seeing them play twice but you can tell when you see it. Their puck possession is solid too. Denver will have their hands full for sure. UMASS reminds me of St. Cloud when St. Cloud shows up. 1 Quote

St Cloud, Duluth, & Denver bring in the players that work for their programs (Hak did also), minus the Clowns have a cultural problem (ask Berry for definition) with the NCAAs. Recruiting kids so young has to have a little crap shoot in this process. Someone mentioned suspicious fans a few posts back, Hockey Players are more suspicious than the fans - some games the players play as a team all game long and then not so much. Quote

We've gotten soft, we need to move back to the old barn where we froze our asses off and cool things happened like dead badgers swinging down in nooses from the rafters during games...that's the Sioux hockey I grew up with. And it was good. 1 1 Quote

John W. Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 Recruit to your system......not just 'talent'...reading accounts (don't go to Herald for quality anymore) of the NCAA hockey Frozen Four...coaches/writers talk about recruiting players to your system. AIC, Bowling Green AZ State may not have high end talent...but players stick to their coaches system , and don't 'freelance'...St. Cloud may be guilty here.....The new wave of talented young coaches preach system and not 'tradition'....only alums and legacy players give a rats butt about tradition.....look at Michigan, Minnesota, the Boston's and now UND..,.. Also 'facilities' may be over sold....most teams have decent, upgraded facilities now...ie. Denver, Duluth, Penn State, Ohio State, etc....facilities more important to alums....as is tradition... Recruit system..and the quality of the school... 1 Quote
