SIOUXELEVENS Posted February 8 Posted February 8 In surprised how bad this team is especially in their own zone. Lots of firsts under Berry and not many of them good. Time to reboot and change the operating system on the machine called UND hockey. When students and opposing teams ask how can we be this bad it’s time. Quote
Popular Post AJS Posted February 8 Popular Post Posted February 8 What maybe bothers me more than anything is consistently how guys that transfer in are immediately one of Berry’s boys. What I mean is the handful of guys every year whose role is not based on ability. Wilkie might be, besides Montgomery the worst forward on the team. He’s a fixture as 3C, PK, PP. He’s a bad hockey player. Based on everything we’ve watched, why wouldn’t you upgrade Littler to Wilkie’s spot? Move Croal in and Wilkie out. From what I’ve seen, Croal is better than Wilkie as well. It’s frustrating watching time and time, transfers come in that aren’t very good and play instead of (or bigger roles) then promising freshman. 7 Quote
SIOUXELEVENS Posted February 8 Posted February 8 Because if you take players from the portal and don’t play them no one will transfer in. Schmaltz is a great D foward and face off guy but not a top six guy. Iis laughable how this coaching staff puts lines together and just rolls four lines no matter what. Quote

siouxweet Posted February 8 Posted February 8 Just now, Sweethockey said: They should be playing like this in February! If these players attempted to do this the puck would end up in the fifth row behind the glass. Can't say I have ever seen a team miss the net as much as they do outside of termites and mites. 2 Quote
90siouxfan Posted February 8 Posted February 8 This team couldn't pull off that many successful passes in a wrong at a 3 dollar whorehouse. Quote

ND_Texan Posted February 9 Posted February 9 So now the Pairwise ratings are showing UND with a 100% probability of making the NCAA tournament (on the PW mobile app). What's up with that? Computing error? Carryover from last season? Heartless prank? Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted February 9 Posted February 9 Cripes, this team couldn't earn home ice in the CCHA. 1 Quote

Green Banner Posted February 9 Posted February 9 I think Berry has this team right where he wants them. I remember prior to the start of the season Berry talked about how they want to not peak too early and look past the Penrose. He know what he's doing. 2 Quote
cberkas Posted February 9 Posted February 9 They are going to peak right into the portal and beat everyone to the punch Quote

tnt Posted February 13 Posted February 13 The good thing for UND in the probability that they will need to win the Frozen Faceoff to get a tournament birth is that none of the teams in the league are in the "can't lose" category. Western has been impressive, but other than Bump aren't loaded. The problem for UND is that they have lacked the consistency to go on a long run. Get home ice and a first round victory, and who knows if they will even have to face the team with the most talent in Denver. This weekend is the first step in keeping home ice alive. Quote
brianvf Posted February 13 Posted February 13 With the teams record for home and away, maybe it’s better for them to be on the road in the first round anyway. 1 Quote
brianvf Posted February 13 Posted February 13 https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/schlossman-the-nchcs-nonconference-flop-has-hurt-the-entire-league Quote The NCHC has a nonconference winning percentage of .586. It is the league's worst since its inaugural season of 2013-14, when it posted a .533 winning percentage. The Big Ten has a .743 nonconference winning percentage — the best mark any conference has posted since college hockey's major realignment in 2013. Hockey East has a .715 nonconference winning percentage. Quote It's why you see oddities in the Pairwise Rankings this season. Omaha is in second place in the NCHC right now, 9-2-1 since Christmas. Yet it is buried at No. 27 in the Pairwise. By contrast, New Hampshire is in dead last in Hockey East, 1-8 in the last nine games. Yet the Wildcats are No. 18 in the Pairwise and within striking distance of an NCAA spot. Penn State is in second-to-last in the Big Ten with a 5-10-3 league record. Yet the Nittany Lions are No. 16 in the Pairwise, also within striking distance of the NCAAs. If the season ended today, 10 of the 16 NCAA teams would be from Hockey East and the Big Ten. It could end up being 11 by next month. Quote
SIOUXELEVENS Posted February 13 Posted February 13 We just have to take care of business ourselves , win the non-conference games and make the tourney. Quote
