siouxweet Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 The reality of sports is that the best team doesn't always win. In college hockey very seldom does the number one overall seed win the whole thing. On a separate note for years UND fans have complained that BC always had an easy path to a Frozen Four by getting to always go through Worcester in their backyard. This goes to show that just having a regional in your backyard is a guaranteed ticket to a Frozen Four, you need some puck luck as well. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 I can explain in two names (both Avs) why another year of college is never a bad idea: Cale Makar Tyson Jost 3 Quote

Yes but the coach has a lot of input to the player if they are ready or not. I thought what Monty did was selfish and self serving with Terry and the rest that stayed that year to try win a Natty. 1 Quote

Duluth is far from a shoo-in in Pittsburgh. They also come in with a little unfinished business as well remembering their last meeting. 1 Quote

I don't think this was an example of an interior team beating a much better team. Both teams were/are solid with few real weaknesses. 3 Quote
The Sicatoka Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 The good news from yesterday? We now have a group of players that know first hand how deep within themselves they have to, need to, look and dig for excellence. One more rep, one more lap, one more takes on a new meaning. Talent is good; will is greater. Will it so. 3 Quote

No Jody's Jabronis at this event. Totally agree. Did a great job with the ice too. No issues whatsoever Quote

yzerman19 Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 From 2000 Mike’s away, I thought the ice looked bad. Quote
Carl Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 Who cares about the ice? Both teams have to play on it. 1 1 Quote

UNDColorado Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 This one stings. I'm proud of the team and feel bad for Scheel. Hockey is a game of bounces and we were on the unfortunate side of that last night. Those who are questioning Berry need to pull your heads out of your asses. 3 Quote
franchise Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 As time passes, I think I'll look back and be really happy that I had the chance to be in that arena until 1am, but right now it just feels like the worst loss in a long list of painful ones. Really felt like that was going to be our experience to make up for the BU heartbreak. 3 Quote

cberkas Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 At least it wasn't a "fluke" type goal like the Miami v BU National Title game in 2009. 1 Quote

And if Duluth wins it again, you can throw out the tired old "parity" argument. Quote

UND no different. Every year that you make the playoffs and don’t win a Championship OT sucks. Happens to 15 other teams every year. 4 Quote
