I wish I knew how to do that. Sorry @NDSU82. Not to rub it in, but it was a good interview. Gino said that the '82 team was the toughest team he ever coached.

I'm not saying fire anybody, but we should have won that Duluth game with the firepower we had. Watching the ascent of Michigan State while their former goalie flounders for us is rough. It is just an established fact that a rested team has a huge advantage over a team on the back end of a back-to-back. Thanks to UMD's unearned bye the previous day, they were fresher. That's not coaching, that's incredible good fortune. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And since when does this program ever "embrace the suck"? That is the last thing we should do. Ever. “Embrace the suck” - military slang = To consciously accept or appreciate something that is extremely unpleasant but unavoidable. in other words, appreciate the efforts of a group of young men, trying their hardest to not disappoint. In no way should you expect your self-esteem to be measured by something in which you have merely an observers perspective. In other words, you shouldn’t expect to be able to beat your chest for something done for you… 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siouxfancrazy92 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 11 hours ago, jk said: I realize this doesn't help their development, which is important as they will be relied upon next year, but Moore (last week) and Johnson have been liabilities in the defensive zone. If Bast was healthy, I would have them as 7 and 8 right now. Up front, it's harder to find guys to take out to get McLaughlin and Portz back in. Maybe Albrecht, Costantini and Kunz. Albrecht did not look like the same player as last year, but that may take reps after the injury. As for who stays in, the top line can be electric, the old men are still effective, and I don't want to mess with 21-26-28. Or Ness, who is consistently making things happen. I’m sorry did I miss the disclaimer on my ticket that said I would watch these young men play hockey and be perfect in every aspect of the game. Just asking for a friend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIOUXELEVENS Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 8 hours ago, Goon said: I have a question for the UND fans (I don't care about the other fan bases who troll or are reading this message board): you guys want to fire a coach that has a 72-25-6 72.8 % winning percentage over the past three seasons? His team also won back-to-back-to-back NCHC Penrose Cups. So we as fans should be satisfied with the performance of the team ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you are okay with what happened last night, but I am not. This is a fan forum. People come on here to vent after a loss and celebrate after a win. Don't act shocked when people do those things. As for ".....appreciate the efforts of a group of young men, trying their hardest to not disappoint", this isn't freaking high school athletics, although watching how UND runs their athletic department, it is hard to tell the difference sometimes. All that is missing is selling baked goods at the front door. And no, my "self-esteem" is not measured by what happens at a sporting event. But I wouldn't be a fan if I didn't care whether or not the team does well. That is called indifference and it is the polar opposite of love, not hate as some people think. Don't agree with this. That is fine, but please don't tell me what and how to think. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I wasn’t satisfied with last night, I just don’t get as worked up about as some. Not that I am correct and they are not. It’s just how I roll. Every night a new adventure.

gfNDfan Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Here's the REAL elephant in the room...STOP bringing back the great teams and feeding the fans BS that will only talk about how we're the FIGHTING SIOUX FOREVER! We're NOT anymore - it's 2022 - I hated to see it go but it's GONE! Face facts...that name is cursed. 1 title in 20+ years with all these great teams and the arena we have? Can't blame Hak and Berry for that - blame yourselves for being self-centered a-holes who won't consider change! The great opportunity was to take the idea of the NODAK jerseys and have them say HAWKS (5 letters - could have been a bridge to the past for the future but what do I know) but no - gotta keep grasping on to the past and we can't win for whatever reason and you blame everyone else but yourselves just to keep wearing a Sioux jersey. Just make sure to sign up for that next great DESTINATION game - where we'll probably lose. I might quote a famous movie star on ALL this...Stupid is as stupid does We need to move on...maybe in coaching - certainly in attitude but we NEED to MOVE ON! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s no surprise recruiting took a nose dive when Dean Blais and John Marks left; culminating in 3 sub .500 seasons a few years later (early 90s) 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
