The bar has been lowering every year since Hak left....

Even the year after he left?

My 3 takes:

start Persson in the NCAA

we won’t be in same regional as Omaha 

the home site NCHC playoffs can’t come soon enough

I wouldn't describe a 3 seed in this year's tourney a bottom feeder.
Some teams don't match up well with other teams and their style.  This UND team has certainly shown that with CC & UNO.
 

Isn’t it the coaching staffs job to come up with a game plan to counter this.

Then we might play in Omaha.

The Berry culture is clearly not working. Omaha looked fast, smart and confident. Nodak looked slow, confused and timid. A lot of individual accomplishments this year, but where’s the maturity, team spirit?

Spot on analysis.

I wonder what is going on with Ludvig.  Don't think he would have been the difference today, but everything seems off there.  

[SiouxScore]

Goaltending certainly could have been better

Have to do a better job of getting a cycle established

Need to play with more of an edge going forward

[jk]

I had it in my head that they would come out having rediscovered their dominant game from January.  I was wrong.  Just not a lot of attack in their game right now, with or without the puck.  Honestly I think their only hope is for Ludwig to steal a game and get them going.

Just like my bantam team I just coached this year they overpass especially in the slot area. Drives me nuts

Season results were not what was being discussed.  

"The bar" was the level of acceptance that fans have of the program that gets lower every year.  At this rate, Berry could go 0-fer on the season and people would still defend him at some point.

Sure.  But that still doesn't explain calling UNO a bottom feeder...they're a tourney team.

Everyone knows that was Haks team. Berry even said so in the postgame. 

Got it.  Someone will have to update the Wikipedia page then.

1-8 against Omaha and CC

25-3-2 against everyone else.

hopefully they get shipped out East as a #2 seed, and they might be better off for it than losing to Omaha for the 4th time this season next weekend in Sioux Falls.

I will say that a culture seems to be showing up of “we play when we want to play, or we’ll start playing when we get desperate. Omaha plays with our old culture, they kept coming at us the whole game even when they had a comfortable lead!

This will help the nil!

Pretty much spot on 

[Snake]

This board is ridiculous.

Are we the first NCHC team that won the conference and failed to get a 1 seed.  I can't remember that happening before.

2013-2014 season, first place St. Cloud didn’t get a 1 seed.

Dare I say that Omaha plays like a Hakstol team?  Whatever it is, I am envious.

I am curious. In the blog of Bubba getting an extention, alot of fans are saying he should not have been extended. Several people said that Bubba has not been able to win in the playoffs. Since UND hockey won the national title, how many times has the hockey team made it past the first round of the national tournament?  I know it is comparing oranges and carrots, but if you can't win in the postseason. Is the hockey team doing much better than the football team? Is the head coach safe in hockey? 

[bcblues]

Is it me? Or does it seem that the team has gotten worse since the first half of the season.

Defender of mediocrity.

[I Ranger]

So this loss looks like it means we get Michigan or Quinnipiac in the first round rather than potentially the ECAC winner. Lovely!

Very emotional at times.  

Anything I say can't be held against me while watching my favorite team right?
