According to GPL, the Denver pep band was actually the Edina H.S. pep band. Funny if true that the most successful college hockey program needs a loaner from the local high school.

Wonder where they rented the cheerleaders from too?

I really think many people have a different understanding of how hocky "luck" happens.  You know, that odd bounce, that off someone's skate, or that puck that ends up where no one could predict.  If you play in your opponents end, put pucks on net, have men in front of the net or are just plain aggressive there is a much better chance that an odd bounce will happen.  The better you play the higher the odds of "luck".  Teams that are not in their end that much or don't put many shots on goal have a much lesser chance of the odd bounce.  Some teams put themselves in position for luck by being relentless.

did commodore or greene leave people open in the front of the net with paying for it...before or after whislte or both

its a mindset

for the sake of argument, if you could teleportish Greene and Commie back to ice for the current team, how many penalty minutes would the get in a season?  would they make it to the post season or be sitting game for incurring penalties?  the game, for better or worse, is not like that anymore.

Would have been nice to hear from Schlossman about UND's shortcomings down the stretch rather than saying they weren't far off.

I hope you weren't expecting objectivity from him about the program's extended playoff woes. No need to crucify big B, but he could have at least asked him why his team looked like they had been injected with horse tranquilizers during the 2nd intermission of their last game. And maybe also ask him what he might do differently next year to avoid another implosion in the playoffs. You don't fix a problem by avoiding it.

Need Paul Ralston to ask the tough questions about their "choke job"!  :lol:

And I still claim it was broken when Scheel left after three seasons. It started the string of portal guys. It had been a strength before that. 

Get through this season and they should be back to a two-year gap rotation (Hobie a junior and Heil a freshman). 

There was just Scheel, Feeney, and Thome and when Scheel left and Thome transferred the team went and brought in 3 goalies. 

If they bring in Heil next year, they still need to bring in Johnson's replacement. Right now, Karl needs to get 2 goalies in the pipeline, and I hope he tried to flip Slukynsky from NMU.

Johnson's replacement will be another servicable, low-cost practice puck eater. (Now make me wrong.)

Cam Johnson said he saw everything that was written about him. There's that. 

Should individual players be called out for their performance? No, but it’s going to happen if you actually have a fanbase that cares enough to go on a message board. Some of the criticism is out of line but some really isn’t. They could have proved me wrong down the stretch by playing better defense and back checking harder but I guess they rather just prove me right…….

Scheel (jr), Thome (sr), and Feeney became Driscoll, Hellsten, Johnson, and Feeney. 
Scheel leaving early was the tripwire.

its not how many minutes they would/could get but rather how scard the other teams MVP's would be and not want to be around the goal crease if those guys were out there....sometimes a common 2 minute penalty and some chirping can go a long way.

Scheel leaving as a junior should been planned for, but no replacement was there. Feeney was brought in for an injury to Thome, after they tried to get Vernon to come in (halfway through the season). Hoby was too far out to replace Scheel. 

I'll say the problems with the goalie pipeline go back to Tomek, Karki and Rowe, Tomak didn't develop and left and still didn't play, Karki ruined is career and was kicked off the U17 team, and Rowe decommitted. Scheel replaced Karki.

So, if these 3 worked out Tomek and Karki together in 2018-19 at the earliest, but most likely Karki would have come in 2019-20 with Rowe coming in 2020-21. These three not working out lead Berry to go to the portal a 4th time for a goalie. I wouldn't be surprised if going to the portal for a goalie continues.

Their enrollment must be down then? Google says around 11,000 for 2016

This post shows you how much things have changed since 2016.  What else has changed since that year?

Good interview with Carle at around the 20:00 mark. Did not know they had no transfers this season and only 3 in the last 2 years. Talks about top 8 schools hosting then top 4 host then Frozen Four. I’m on board with that
