I imagine Senden is getting frustrated. Last year his line completely shut down DUs top line all weekend and this year he’s playing with 2 completely different players. Some lines work and senden hain jammer works so does ness albrecht portz. Having a shutdown line like Sendens helps to give your better offensive players more favorable matchups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Denver won an championship last year and promptly reloaded. The difference between the two teams on Saturday was stunning. We saw things from this team I never would have guessed would come from our program - A lack of development across the board, what appears to be poor conditioning, horrible puck skills especially passing, an underperforming freshman class, and undisciplined play. Add in horrible line combos and a really poor defense and here we are. This cannot continue. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what he was driving at? Are we as fans overreacting? Are we out of line for being frustrated? He’s trying to save face. He carried Berry through that conversation. Tim knows that this team is very average, but he can’t say it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KetoChronos Posted November 13, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 13, 2022 I grew up in TRF and graduated high school in EGF. Senior year my best friend’s dad was a Colonel at the air base, so we had access to unused season tickets. My love for college hockey was given birth watching Sioux games at the old Barn/Quonset in 1968 and 1969. I remember thinking that the Quonset was pretty fancy, as my only point of reference was the old arena in TRF. I now live in Boulder Colorado and my wife and I have season tickets to University of Denver games. A few years ago I still pulled for the Sioux, but now I’m all in on the Pioneers. It’s a different hockey culture here in Denver. There’s rarely talk of the Penrose Cup. Measuring a team’s success on winning the conference on paper only goes so far. UND might have won multiple Penrose Cups, but Denver and Minnesota Duluth have won four of the past five NCAA championships. Every Denver fan knows that the goal every year is the national championship. No one mourns if we don’t win it all, but that’s the ever-present target. North Dakota has a great team, but I don’t think they deal with adversity very well. This season they’re looking for quick-and-easy, not showing up consistently when required to do the hard work forechecking and in the corners. Against Denver this series, especially on Saturday night, UND committed multiple turnovers because they seemed to be looking for the fast break. Lazy passes amount to wishful thinking at this level of play. I don’t know that much about Brad Berry. It just seems to me that North Dakota expects the competition to roll over and play dead. It’s not a matter of talent. You’ve got talent in spades. Something is amiss with the commitment to grind it out, in what is essentially a grind it out sport. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps this program has become a victim of its own sense of entitlement. Who else has ‘the Palace on the Prairie’, new uniforms all the time, a Through These Doors media show, etc. Maybe our mentality resembles the Gophers more than we like to admit. Do we still expect teams to show up at the Ralph, be in awe of the place, our culture and history, and roll over and die? Yea maybe. The sky isn’t falling. We’re coming off 3 straight league titles. That said, if this team doesn’t get its act together, we’ll also have missed the playoffs 3 times in the past 6 seasons. We pride ourselves on a lunchpail work mentality, yet Berry teams have been wildly inconsistent in playing as such. i dunno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
