So we roll into the NCAA’s with a goalie who hasn’t played in 3 weeks or a freshman whose hot streak ended in disaster tonight. 

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...

Actually trending matters a ton. You want to enter playoff time on the upswing. 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…

Awesome.  

Hot streak? Beating a bad Miami squad?

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.

The difference in speed between Denver and North Dakota is beyond unbelievable today.  It’s almost like one of the two teams wearing white actually wants to WIN this tournament.

wonder if the x would take a small(er) buyout from nchc and they could make more money using these nights for concerts or whatnot next year instead of waiting another year....how many people are there right now and how many will be there tomorrow?

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.

I bet 3/4 of the UND fans here today won’t be back tomorrow.

It used to mean something to the players to play well in front of a ton of green in the stands, not anymore.  We are in a different generation it seems where the name on the back of the jersey is more important than the one on the front.  This shift has happened in the last 10 years or so.

There was a ton of green in the stands? That was the empty seats. 
 

The looks of it showed half empty building.

It would be a mercy killing FOR SURE!  Since the old WCHA Final 5 went away this tournament has NEVER been anything near what it used to be.   Went to the first couple NCHC tourneys at the Target Center and realized right away - THIS SUCKS and never went back and THAT SUCKS because this tournament used to be the BEST EVER!  For the following reasons...

--It was a HOCKEY EVENT!  Every team would bring all the fans they could and the venue would be packed or close to it.  Greatest college hockey post season environment ever!  Even beat out the FF most years.

--Michigan Tech Band would show up and play their ASSES OFF around the arena although their team almost never made it.  Priceless!

--The X would be PACKED and CRAZY for rivalry games - Wisco cheeseheads - GOOF Fans - et al.  Screaming and insanity in the aisles.  The goal was to be obnoxious and give as good as you'd get!  So would our fans! 

Now it's a tepid environment at best...an environment that doesn't seem to inspire our team at all.   It's time to move on to a new thing I'd say.  Bring home sites on!

100% spot on!
