DU stands to lose a ton this offseason.
Wright for sure gone.  Doubt Guttman or Stapley use Covid years.
Brink, Savoie, and Chrona will get pressure to sign, for sure.

That'd be 5 of their top 8 scorers gone plus their goalie.
Mazur and Rizzo will be a good core pair, but they'll get all the pressure with all of the above likely gone.

Feels like Chrona has been there 5 years

denver now has more natty's than barry melrose has teeth left....

 

...And more Natty's than UND.  Time to internalize that and get to the goal next year.  Really getting tired of seeing others accomplish what UND should be doing.

And they will still be good. They have a young team.

Don't worry. Dave Carle will recruit The Fonz out of the portal and make another run....

They won #8 the season after UND won #8. So just gotta hope that UND returns the favor and gets #9 next season!

FWIW, Denver and North Dakota tend to win titles in close proximity to one another.

1958 - Denver wins National Title.  

1959 - North Dakota responds and captures the title.

1960 & 1961 - Denver goes back-to-back

1963 - North Dakota gets back on the board

1968 & 1969 - Denver goes back-to-back again.

------MEANINGFUL GAP-----

1980 - North Dakota gets third title.

1982 - North Dakota gets fourth title.

1987 - North Dakota ties it up with Denver, capturing its 5th title.

-----MEANINGFUL GAP-----

1997 - North Dakota finally goes ahead of DU, winning its 6th title.

2000 - North Dakota wins another, goes up 7-5.

2004 & 2005 - Denver goes back-to-back for a third time, and knots up the score at 7 apiece.

-----MEANINGFUL GAP-----

2016 - North Dakota edges back ahead of DU, capturing its 8th title

2017 - Denver storms back to tie it up at 8.

2022 - Denver sneaks ahead, winning its 9th title.

2023 - ????

Sucks that Denver jumps back in front of us in the Title count. The good side, the ESPN crew had to suffer a Final Four with zero east coast teams and the Michigan Dandys couldn't even pull it out for them.

I hope Melrose will retire and live a long and peaceful retirement. Enjoy your last years with your family. Keep your hot takes out of our college hockey. 

Looking forward to next season. I think things will go a lot better for our favorite team.

Cheers, UND fans!

Denver beat UMass (last years champ) Duluth, Michigan,  Mavs. Unreal. Deserve the championship. Friggen’ insane.  Let’s calm the egos here. 

That includes two wins in a row against teams that couldn't be beaten too.
Duluth always wins when it matters (so I've heard).
And Michigan was the best college team ever (if you look at those pesky NHL drafts).

Pretty impressive NCAA performance from them, for sure.

Was just talking about that. Tampa is the best F4 venue bar none.

Not so sure about "the best", but my wife loves the idea, we know some people there, and it is driving distance, so....

 

See you there!
