Not sugarcoating the UND play but...

Michigan is good.

Better team won....that's not disputable.

We lost that game for three reasons:

2. Refs clearly playing for the opposition. Clearly

THAT’S the angle we’re gonna go with?

1. Tricky passing n the two zones away from the attacking zone when we should be dropping it back to open players.

2. Refs clearly playing for the opposition. Clearly

3. Really unfortunate bounces leading to 3 goals by Michigan 

I saw a penalty or two that could have been called but get why they weren’t. What about Gaber tackling the guy near the end? Not like the refs butted one in or anything.

It's a strange argument to make. Berry inherited a good program, Sandy built his.

He also has a boat load of points. He’s high risk/high reward. If you ask him to stop taking chances, the points drop off. Let him play. He’ll likely make the hobey hat trick, so maybe find someone else to blame this on?

I would say this is the type of outcome you can expect part of the time if you want to play high risk at tourney time.  Not exactly a recipe to win it all, taking risky chances you might win a few, but winning more may take high odds.

I don't know if the better team won. The team that played hard after the first period won.

[Cratter]

Blake is easy to criticize because he's the best player on the team.

The criticism is a badge of honor.

The real criticism is Berry's inability to help Blake offensively with another star player.

Despite being a pretty good team most of the year.

They were nowhere near National Championship caliber.

Exhibit 1A) Go look up Cam Johnsons Save % in 2016.

They are good. They clogged the middle and obviously watched the Omaha games a few times cause that 3rd period gave me Omaha flashbacks. No open ice, clogging up the middle, beat us to every puck, played our game back at us and we can’t / didn’t handle it well.

See everybody next year here on the board. Hope we are all still here and we have some great new players. Let’s let some young guys in and no more losing recruits cuz we don’t think they are ready when there are teams willing and ready to take them. Need our own goalies and no more replacing the whole defense!

So the team that was way better for 2 periods??

[scpa0305]

20-0 when leading after 2…insane (but super predictable) way to go out. We are the new gophs. 90% scar tissue

Love Bubs…but it’s probably fair to get the hot seat heated for next year. Boy I thought this might be the year they won a couple games. They weren’t beating a team like BC. But a FF trip would have been nice for recruiting etc 

This^^

Disappointing crash to a season that showed so much promise at times.

Too many missed opportunities in the 1st. Leaving that period at only 1-0 was trouble. Too many turnovers in the 2nd half of the game just got extremely careless. Michigan definitely got some puck luck but back breaker was Persson giving up the 2nd, just cover the damn puck. Not enough urgency and getting pucks to the net, content to play on the perimeter.

Brady Berry clock is ticking. 1 ncaa win since the national championship and 3 missed tourneys when we hadn’t missed one in forever. Some say parity and I’ll never agree with that, watch the spittin chiclets video and try to sell someone on parity how many other places are even in the same ballpark with those amenities maybe a couple. Frozen Fours should be the expectation around here.

Just need to get a sports psychologist for neutral aite games. Thata the common thread. With NCHC moving to campus we should be OK, juat need early round NCAA games moving to campus and we'd be golden.

Exactly! I just think we were a better team. Just because you don't outplay someone for two periods doesn't mean you don't have the ability to outplay them.

When I saw that I knew it was inevitable they would lose.

For everyone calling for a new coach. If UMD had the same lack of patience they would have never had their run of titles. You are entitled to your opinion, but I challenge you to be more optimistic about the program. Bubs has a great recruiting class coming in next year, most everyone will be back, let’s support and see what they can do. If you don’t have faith in the team, feel free to support another team 

Are people really trying to use "case examples" of why something may or may not happen in the future?

Pro Tip:  Stop.

Also only low IQ fans say "Don't say negative things about the team. Positive things only!"

Fair take.

Just me or did Raycroft seem depressed having to say anything positive about UND during the intermissions. Those two during the other highlights were like Major League. “Fly ball…………………caught. “

I forgot about the 2-7 record in Frozen Faceoff semi-final games.  That’s a postseason record of 3-12, folks.  

Is that good?

I'd say tar and feather or whatever you kids do these days hypothetically on the line...

whoever posted it. That's just bush league.

[siouxweet]

Looking back them getting swept at home by CC is probably where you could start to see the writing on the wall for how this would end.  That series showed they didn't pass the eye test for greatness.

Did we get a call the entire game?  I saw at least 4 clear no calls.  Think about the cost we incur not having the man advantage.

- three of their four bounces were stupid unlucky.

-i can't believe how poor of choices we make passing the puck in the trasition in the neutral zone. It's been a curse of our talented passing teams since Berry has been the coach.  Fancy passing is awesome inside the circles not in the neutral zone.
