The other issue is We’re not moving up because the teams that have been directly ahead of us are also winning. Just looking at the Pairwise comparisons we lose, I’m not sure how much more we can move up without the teams ahead of us tanking. 

But we play some of those teams above us and same goes for other teams. A sweep against Duluth or Western would go along way.  If St. Cloud starts to beat those teams as well, things could change fast.

Bigtime choke by UND.   Props to UNO though.  Up 2-0 in 3rd, lose game 3-2 is hard to take for fans.

Imagine living in Omaha

I still don’t understand how we didn’t get Taylor Ward. Was he recruited by Blaiser?

I'm getting less confident that this team makes the NCAA's.
That UMD/WMU/UNO stretch to close out the season will be a tough one.

Oh def, we’re toast

Blais got many of those UND-alums kids in a row for awhile there.
Most of them had decent college careers too.

I agree.  Go back to overtime actually meaning something, then if tied after that use the gimmickry.

Not sure why they went straight to 3x3.  4x4 might have been a better option.

I feel like these pages used to get a lot a lot more comments on game nights. Are people just getting fatigued of this half assed season or what’s the scoop?

Interesting, I was thinking the same thing and it’s not just our board. It seems like college hockey in general is having an off year in terms of interest. I said I surf Twitter and it seems like comments in general on game nights how much more reserved. Even Duluth and that saying something.

Not only that but attendance at games is down too. I am not sure if that is CoVID related or people just not interested in a subpar season.

Zombo, Archibald, Ward Belfour and Morelli. Blais had quite a pipeline for awhile.

I can see Blais getting those kids to come however I couldn’t see Gabbinet(sp) getting them. Not a fan of Gabbinet, so it’s hard for me to understand why a UND legacy would want to play at UNO. Ward is currently the only player from UNO that should be at UND. They can keep Jonny T.

I don’t know what you guys see in him. When you look at his record versus the NCHC teams, it’s middling at best. Same for Primeau, invisible all weekend and lost every faceoff.

He is a good player, he leads the nation in PPG. I don’t think Primeau is anything special. I was just talking about Ward.

It was that soft nonconference schedule. I just bought brought up Primeau because the announcers are always gaga over him.

Was on the opposite end of the arena and didn't see the Abate play on Jammer, only Jammer laying on the ice.

Berry upset.  Cheap hit or a hockey thing?

Are you talking when Jam went down into the boards? That wasn’t even a Hockey play, and you could tell that Abate was just trying to avoid contact. That’s just Brad’s way of looking for an excuse.

I didn't see the play or any replays to this point.  Officials were right there on top of it but Brad was not happy so was wondering what others saw.

Losing Jammer to a freak incident would be exactly this team's injury luck.

Never saw the Senden injury. Asked about it but nobody responded. Wonder how that Mueller kid is. Legal or not, felt bad for the freshman. ‘Welcome to college hockey’ I guess.

Figured Berry is more pissed because it’s always the same kid doing this crap. May have been incidental but the kid has a reputation for a reason. I mean he slashed Jammer on the faceoff last year that started that brawl last season  too. So it’s not like there’s no history.

When you look at the guys who are out, it's devastating.  Trying to put lines together, I'm guessing you drop Costantini down to 3rd line center, and put Budy & Montgomery in on left wing, while maintaining the 4th line as-is.  Going to be tough until they start getting some guys back, which is why losing the lead last night really hurts their chances.

Budy is “out indefinitely” last I heard unless that has changed.

Extend Berry!

I thought so too, but in today's herald, it said "Berry indicated Budy will be available next week after skating this week."

Oh thanks I didn’t see that. That’s good news then.
