Kind of like how the team no-shows for all the NCAA tournaments after all these amazing NCHC regular season titles in the greatest hockey league ever to exist....which is why UND has done so well in NCAA play lately. Yup. Just one win I believe (?) in ncaa tourney play since winning the natty with Haks players in 2016. Let that sink in. Big, big, test tomorrow. Sioux hitting 3 pipes in 3rd period tonight ain’t helped but still a lackluster showing vs CC. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Langster019 Posted February 17 Popular Post Share Posted February 17 14 minutes ago, Big A HG said: It's one loss right now, but the story has been played out most other seasons. It's a compiling list of odd losses by Berry teams late in the season over a long stretch of seasons. If you look at the big picture, the program is underperforming for our status in the hockey world. Blue chip recruits don't want to play here anymore. Big media heads seldom talk about us anymore and we have the best facilities in the country, arguably the greatest college hockey history in the country, the best fans, etc... Yet everyone is okay with the lower standard Berry has set compared to his predecessors. Pitch forks are going to come after me for this one most likely, but best fans? I see more cringeworthy or embarrassing people/actions/posts from fans green than not. It’s sad. I know the bad ones amplify and give a bad wrap but honestly the further I get into fandom/am around the fan base the less I enjoy/like it. Maybe it’s just me but it’s not a good national reputation from what you see/hear from the outside. I’m a fan but sometimes don’t like being lumped in the group. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US hockey is booming and so hockey. Other programs are starting to pull in blue chip too (some much better). But there is no other team really winning more than us. Other tops programs lose too. No one is arguing about the last 25-30 years. It's about the way things have gone the last seven or so. The regular season titles are nice, but this team vastly underperforms later in the season under Berry since the title team of Hak's recruits.

tnt Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Like I said before this series, CC smells home ice for the first time in many moons. UND needed to match that intensity. Everybody needs to bring it, but they definitely need more from guys like Schmaltz and Perron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jk Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Except for the offense, defense and goaltending, I thought it was good. But the biggest no show was UND's goalposts - not one save, and they had plenty of opportunities. CC's posts had a heck of a game, bunch of saves.

BusinessSoot Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Everyone relax. First regulation loss since when?.?.?.?..?. I remember an 8-1 loss at St Cloud a couple seasons ago and everyone was their minds………..it’s one game. Sun will come up tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcblues Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Everybody. From the coach, to the captains, to the starters, to the bus driver, HAS to get better. This just doesn't equate to UND hockey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxScore Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 It is one game but you need to make sure that is all it is. Don't let any of the bad habits, effort, plays, etc. grow into a trend. Own the performance and the ugly effort tonight and tomorrow is a new day where you show what kind of toughness you have by responding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were still a better hockey team season to season under his watch. College hockey though is cruel in that it is one and done. The NHL surely recognized that and hired him. Berry ain’t got no NHL teams knocking on his door. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godsmack Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Thing is, CC’s playing with swagger and they’re so dang structured. Also, has CC gotten into the psyche of the UND players now with their 3 wins in a row? -I hope not. Not confident we can come out of tomorrow with a W.

Exactly, they need to get back to the team that doesn’t take many penalties, and not focus on taking shots because they are pissed off. Total need for a reset, knowing that we have a lot to play for in a high seed and conference implications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 It's February and that's the first time they haven't gotten at least a point in an NCHC game. Hold off canceling the season just yet. Let's see how the leadership group gets them ready for tomorrow. I for one am happy that CC is on the upswing. Life wasn't the same with them being a door mat. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 This was an ass-whooping, for sure, but it doesn’t count for two losses. Response is key. Tomorrow’s game starts 0-0. Flush this one and get the split tomorrow. Don’t let this become two losses. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lost to a top 15 team on the road at mile high altitude and we were on a huge non-regulation loss streak! We can’t be near perfect every game.

Godsmack Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I wonder what Berry and his staff saw that we didn’t challenging that goal for an offsides. Sure looked clear to me that Veremyev’s foot was firmly planted on the blue line. That decision cost us dearly as we got a delay of game penalty and we proceeded to give up a power play goal. This was a collective effort by players and coaches alike in this loss tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
