jk Posted March 23 Posted March 23 If you can set aside the looking like hell part, I do prefer only playing one game this weekend, to maybe be just a touch fresher next weekend. But they have to use the energy for it to matter. Quote

The style of play was definitely downgraded by Berry tonight. No sliding & blocking shots which is definitely a part of our game. Don't blame him for that is we don't want players hurt. But we lost the Face-Off battle and you're right, just out hustled all night. I'm hoping he's taking a page out of Sandlin's playoff book, which is to prepare only for the the big dance. And can anyone shed light on the goalie situation. Quote

It baffles me, how we can take one of Omaha’s best players in Berg, yet he was MIA against his old team. Is Gabinet getting his players to play harder, because they sure have lost a lot of talent the last few years. The Sioux/UND road advantage died when #8 was hung. Sioux fans packing buildings doesn't mean anything like it used to. Don't believe me look at the last 8 years. Quote
BusinessSiouxt Posted March 23 Posted March 23 31 minutes ago, neoflex said: I always like to think our recruiting class is outstanding; however, are we being out recruited? Granted we had to replace an entire defensive crew, but how does someone like Omaha, and I don't mean disrespect, out talent us. They didn’t out talent us. They out worked us. Say what you want, but they have 4 balanced lines who deliver effort on every shift. If they avoid mistakes, that is hard to keep at bay. Quote
brianvf Posted March 23 Posted March 23 Ludvig or Hobie next weekend? Berry's comments on the goalie situation both for tonight and next weekend: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/hobie-hedquist-gets-start-in-frozen-faceoff-but-ludvig-persson-may-return-for-regionals Quote Hedquist was 5-0 going into the semifinal and was coming off a sweep of Miami in the quarterfinals last weekend in Grand Forks. “There were a number of things going into it,” UND coach Brad Berry said. “Ludvig (Persson) was just coming back from his situation. He missed the first day or two of practice (this week), and then he got in toward the midweek. He's starting to look good here." “Hobie was just coming off of a sweep of Miami, playing very well. At North Dakota here, there's a lot of things that go on, whether you're a grad, or whether you're a senior, or whether you're a freshman. You get opportunities if you earn it. Hobie earned it.” Quote “I thought he played well early in the game,” Berry said after UND’s 6-3 loss. “He made some huge saves for us here. Hobie wasn’t the problem tonight. It was us not playing well in front of him.” Berry did allude to the thought of starting Persson over Hedquist in the Frozen Faceoff title game had UND beaten Omaha on Friday. “I think if we would have won the game tonight,” Berry said, “there probably would have been an opportunity for maybe Ludvig to go back in tomorrow, or at least think about it.” Quote “Right now, the most important thing is making sure that we get back and we start playing as a team, again, like we did a couple of weeks ago here,” Berry said. “I know it's disappointing right now, but we’ve come too far to hang our heads. We got to make sure that we got to be positive, and we got to be accountable to each other and work on the things that we need to to have a chance to win in the national tournament. Quote
JohnboyND7 Posted March 23 Posted March 23 Watched at the bar with some colleagues. UND fans. They said UNO has given UND trouble? I presume hockey is like every other sport where matchups matter? Quote

Awesome. Yeah, not ideal on either front. I'd guess we see Ludvig and hopefully he can shake off any rust right away and lead this team for a few games... 3 Quote

I’m sure folks would have been pissed with a loss tomorrow night against DU. I wouldn’t have, they’re a good team. But the last 5-6 weeks have been atrocious…we’ve only beat terrible teams for like a month now. Maybe longer. Omaha is a good team… 1 Quote

Esoteric Posted March 23 Posted March 23 Watching the Denver-st Cloud and it seems that Denver does not want to play in west regional tournament either. Denver seems to want to stay behind UND in pairwise to avoid the western regional. I will have to see what period 3 of the game will tell us about Denver. Quote

Username Taken Posted March 23 Posted March 23 Zero momentum going into the tourney. This team hasn’t played like a tourney team in quite some time. Hard to see them flipping a switch. Quote
