bcblues Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Yeah, Cornell has had an easy season, and I can't believe how high they are ranked in the pair wise. But seeing our showing against them, I get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusinessSiouxt Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Tis the weekend sport my friends and a curse that never ends hockey is the game they play just not well on each Friday… one thing that we surely know tenders come and tenders go! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t see him drastically improving the rest of the year. He seems to always be flopping and scrambling and has trouble controlling rebounds. Without significantly better goaltending we have no chance to win #9, time to see if Hellsten can take the job. I don’t know if he can but I have no faith in Driscoll. I just don't get how a seasoned goalie with his stats last year can come to a better program with perhaps the best goalie coach in college hockey and play like he has. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Banner Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Can anyone name a goalie more disappointing than driscoll in the last 20-30 years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcblues Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I was thinking that we really need the senior leadership to step up. But we may have just lost Hain, and Driscoll is questionable in that roll, so it leaves who: Senden? He is sound, but alone in his quest.

rochsioux Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 If Driscoll starts tomorrow night then Berry is admitting one of two things: there’s no accountability for how well you are playing or he feels he has no other valid options. Either it is an indictment of his coaching or of his recruiting. If I have to bet, my bet is on Driscoll starting again. If this was just one off night for him I would be fine with it, but the season stats say it is not just one night. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crb1 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 This loss is beyond frustrating. It really just makes you question some choices that have been made. I’ll just leave it at that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is an honest question and one that should be asked considering some of the things that have transpired with some recent recruits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re allowing almost 3 goals a game. Is it all the goalies fault ? Not completely, but he has to play better if UND is going to have a reasonable chance for #9. So far this year he does not look very good to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcblues Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Hey, I admit he has been questionable at times, but last year's team was HIS, and it was awesome. So he does not lack the ability. I thought he did, at first, but I am a convert. And an unflagging optimist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I would normally say senior leadership, but that is becoming less likely as our seniors are few and far between, and (except for Senden) not that impactful (although I can't say I am privy to the locker room chit. Beyond that, it is on the coaching staff. Hak was not a friend, but he was able to prepare the team fir battle. Just never able to push through to the championship.

Is a 13-7 record on January 7 following a season with a team loaded with seniors that frankly was the best in the country and had tons of leadership really a culture problem? If we tank and miss the tournament, I don't know if I'd lay it on a lack of leadership. I understand the look of this loss and the implosion of those five minutes tonight, but maybe we pump the brakes a bit on large, grandeur ideas that UND is a broken program. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never said UND was a broken program. Far from it. Yes, we lost a bunch of top notch seniors last year. And covid crap didn't help us having to play Omaha ad infinitum. But it is on the coach to mold and form both the character and form of the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
