Whatever the opposite of bottom feeder is ... The only thing I like about Gabinet is he has his guys playing hockey in the style of Dean Blais. They do it well, and nobody has solved them since January (Denver clobbered them twice). On top of all that we gave them two soft goals (their first followed a blind backhand pass behind our own net that they intercepted and scored, and the trickler that Hobie really really wants back). Most troubling for me is that we don't show signs of making the changes needed to solve UNO style. Can't tell if that's on the players or on the coaches, but I'm in the book of hoping we get sent East. Eastern hockey is much more possession based, cautious on attacking, and we've won a lot of those games this year. One step to take would be to play players that are relentless. Berry brags about guys like Ness is what the culture of UND is all about. I would argue that the culture is about playing guys like that even though there are more talented players. Never mind the fact Ness has scored 2 pretty big goals against Omaha in his career. Why is it that Schmaltz is untouchable, but Ness has to prove himself week after week, and even when he does, he sits. 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I totally agree with you on this. There's more to this story than just an illness IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livanavage scores a big pp goal, then loses his guy for the dagger. Team defense at times this year has been abysmal. Not going to make a run without a cleanup in that area. But is it too late?

How can this be when basically a home regional is on the line? 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoflex Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleedn Green Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 I think it was going to go this way with either team we faced this weekend. Both UNO and CC playa similar game. We would have been better off against DU or Clown. Time to rip the band aid off, just send us east and roll the dice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jk Posted March 23 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

brianvf Posted March 23 Share 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.

Don't believe me look at the last 8 years. Probably a good thing that next year is the last year at the X, because people are probably worn out with the one and done that has become the standard. You watch, once it moves to the high seed’s campus, we will no longer win league titles. We don’t seem to be taking advantage of opportunity for home ice type environments. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
