I get what you're saying, but I wouldn't consider it all luck. Building an incredible team, playing well, and having a winning culture combined with luck usually produces wins in the tourney. Teams get hot and that's a huge factor in the tourney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longer than the contract that Bubbs just had extended. So, he deserves the extension and should be given until at least 2026 with this logic then, right?

I thought a great coach got his team to peak at the right time. I thought we needed the right players to get it done. Turns out all we needed was just Luck. Yes I get it the best team does not always win, but the expectations needs to be greater than 1 NCAA win since 2016. That can't be acceptable at UND. He has a chance to change that this year and I sure hope he does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say we get to a national title game or a Frozen Four and get beat by a team on a spectacular goalie performance ala 2012? Is that an indication he didn't deserve an extension? This on the heels of a conference title season that had us No. 2 in the PWR before the pandemic killed the season and then another historically great season and another conference title, a tourney win and a heart-wrenching loss in 5 OT in the regional final. Also, looking to the future, a really, really great pipeline. Rationally, it shouldn't. He got an extension due to his body of work. This includes looking at past performance, our current team, and future pipeline/strength of the program/money/culture. Bubbs deserved it and got it. Any bellyaching that he shouldn't get one is wasted breath. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you are saying you want Hak back. Drinking too much truly does kill brain cells. Maybe you should look into Prevagen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it whoever wins the championship that year? It used to be Boston College, but you don't hear that anymore. The fact that the comparisons are ever changing, yet UND is still firmly a threat year in and year out, certainly should show that UND hockey is a program that most would love to emulate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berry doesn't control societal factors. Should we lower the broadcast quality to incentivize higher attendance? As time passes, it's pretty clear Shaw wasn't the home run hire everyone in CH media declared him to be at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jk Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Stoney, not to nitpick but I believe UND was #1 PWR in 2020 at the shutdown. (#2 in the silly polls). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
