It’s easier to state analytics 

Harder to know “what should be done”

Enlighten us

Anybody who can type can state "what should be done."   And on message boards, everyone "knows."  burd knows this to be true.

I agree with all of this. I hope Zmolek is the only season ending injury.

Are there any options out there to fill Zmolek's roster spot?

Not that I know of.

What is the expectation for UND hockey?

To me, we get into the NCAA tournament every year - get to the Frozen Four every 3 years - win everything every six years or so?

Too much parity for that now.

At the beginning of the season, I predicted this team would be in the Frozen Four when the season ends. If not I will owe @MafiaMan and @Godsmack a dinner at the Texas Roadhouse. 

I don’t mean to be cocky but @Goon already knows that I prefer my steak medium rare while @Godsmack likes his well done.

Fixed my post. Knocked the horns off and throw it on the plate. Finally. No ketchup on your steak.

If your steak isn’t medium-rare you’re doing it wrong.  Not an opinion.

Well done is ruining a good steak. Medium rare is the only way to go.

I think folks are bored and need hockey

Brad Berry probably eats his steak well done with ketchup....there, that better?

Brad Berry is vegan and will not recruit meat eaters.

I was told he prefers a good portalhouse.

Pull it out the cooler, whisper fire on it and put it on a plate. S and P too

Denver never got that memo.

[SiouxFan100]

Is a lot of parity. A small division II school without the resources of some and facilities can have success in college hockey. Maybe not consistently but some success.

They'll reconvene in Grand Forks next week and the Fighting Hawks will see where Berg's lower-body injury is at.

Prior to break, he had not yet skated and was wearing a boot on his foot.

"We're hoping he gets back on the ice when we come back from break," UND coach Brad Berry said. "From there, we'll determine how close he is."

Quote

The target is still to have him back for the first regular-series season against Arizona State on Jan. 10-11 in Tempe, Ariz.

"We're shooting for that weekend (Arizona State), but at the end of the day, we'll have to see when we come back from Christmas break," Berry said. "We'll have more clarity on that side."

In 2021, UND was lucky to make it 5 OTs considering Duluth’s first game winning goal was waived off. 

In 2022, UND was lucky to make it to OT considering Notre Dame’s last second game winning goal was (again) waived off.

Every team has luck in the playoffs.  Some teams can’t capitalize on it, however.  Some teams don’t.

2020 was very unlucky.  Michigan having to forfeit in 2021 was very unlucky too.
