There is no benefit to UND in these games(other than getting another game of revenue for the Ralph, and maybe that is the end goal...who knows) Very few experienced fans refer to this team as "a bunch of kids," and I've never heard a fan complain that we just beat up on a bunch of kids after a W. Some years, it's a legit recruitment tool, especially with the portal. The Ralph should always remain a destination for young hockey talent. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A LOT of fans start with the final score and work backwards in their assessment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only negative is an overreactive fanbase 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha you can do you, I'm just telling you I think it's crazy to go off the rails based off three OT losses and an exhibition loss (with four players out including our clear No. 1 goaltender). We had a tremendous first half. I think it's nuts to think it's all coming down. Again, you do you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think having only one NCAA tournament win since 2016 (over AIC in Fargo) has our fan base hungry for national level success again. But you are right, the sky isn't really falling. Lots of hockey to be played by a lot of teams before anything is decided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightingsioux4life Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 That Under-18 team has gotten really good over the years. That bodes well for USA Hockey across the board for the future! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, I'm very confident we'll be fine. But, we'll see. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
