Technically 8 times as in the Covid pod at the Ralph all teams were there. Their record outside of the Ralph has gone down the toilet on all levels the last 8 years.

Dustin Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Historically, the 3 biggest fan bases in college hockey are North Dakota, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. When all three of them were in the same conference and the conference tournament was easily accessible to all 3 (MSP), plus sprinkle in other Minnesota schools' fans, you had a recipe for success. When the conferences split those teams into the Big Ten and NCHC, both conferences tried (unsuccessfully) to replicate the WCHA Final Five with big venue, neutral site conference tournaments. Geography was definitely part of the problem for both conferences, with fewer teams spread over a larger area. I also think Wisconsin having down years right after the 2014 split, and UND having some down years after the national championship, contributed to the demise of both conference tournaments. The Big Ten saw the writing on the wall first, with the NCHC still counting on UND to make the event successful. But now, having watched Big Ten home site playoff games, I have no doubt this is the right direction for the NCHC. Someone posted earlier about buying out the Xcel contract for 2025, and that's a viable option, I'm in favor. Another thing about 2024, in particular. Until last night, UND's path to the National Championship went through St. Paul, Sioux Falls, and back to St. Paul. I personally know fans that decided not to go to the Frozen Faceoff, saving for the potential Frozen Four appearance at the same venue. I think a lot people were also excited for the Sioux Falls regional, which also probably contributed to last night's dismal attendance. Not everyone can go to a hockey tournament 3 out of 4 weekends, as much as we'd maybe like to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Disinterested" is a good work to describe it. The team looked like they were going through the motions for a lot of the game, not playing to control their playoff destiny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all the new D men we looked good in the first half once the coaching philosophy took over we looked like last years D core. I don’t think it’s coaching philosophy. I’m guessing played with an edge early in the season. But like all teams…the season gets a lot tougher as the season goes along. Players need to match that intensity as things get tough. Maybe we got the wrong players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fine that you don't like him. Not much of a fan myself. It just seems like you wait for a loss to jump on and remind everyone you don't like him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BusinessSiouxt Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 12 minutes ago, SIOUXELEVENS said: If it’s not coaching why have we been so poor defensively with changes in the roster. Could be the fact that the NCHC is reaching an equilibrium, ie the other teams are getting better both defensively and to a lesser degree offensively. Starman had it right, our bottom 4 would be playing for top 4 in most other conferences. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
