This team hasn’t won 4 regulation games in a row this season. And people expect us to get a win tonight and then proceed to win back to back games against superior teams? Guys i know im negative but let’s not get our hopes up after one win.

I don't think anyone is getting their hopes up.  Hard to after how this season has gone.
I wouldn't be surprised if they win this series to advance.  But I'd be very surprised if they managed to win a game in St Paul if they do advance.

If CC can pull the upset I'd give them a chance vs ASU at the X.

Will this Saturday be better than last Saturday.  Team thank you for last night.  Let’s end this series tonight.

If CC and UND both win CC gets Western and UND gets ASU assuming ASU wins too. 

 

On another note, it's hard to believe how bad St Cloud is this year. What the heck happened? I wonder when the last time they had 20 losses in a season. Gees they are 3-14 in their last 17 games.

Seeing St. Cloud struggle so much brings me an unreasonable amount of joy.
 

But still not enough joy to balance out the frustration of our season’s issues

UND’s weak offensive performance against Omaha’s porous defense is even more confounding when you consider that 10 of UND’s 12 forwards tonight are NHL draft picks. 

An orchestra is only as good as its conductor.

Lost Posch for most of the season, that doomed them

And of course Croal is sitting again. No lessons learned after last night's game. UND won after all, which means the ol' Bubster runs back the same players & the same strategy; while the one guy (Croal) the team needs for energy when the team loses momentum sits in the stands again...BB would rather sacrifice his left nut than bench #27 or #29; because they're seniors, after all, & have earned their ice time.

I remember when players in our program earned ice time based on performance and what they brought to the table. Not because they are seniors and have "put in their time".

Man, those were the days.

[Goon]

Omaha lines. 

[siouxweet]

If this team is still "growing " no better time for them to have a full 60 in all three phases that results in a solid 4-2 win tonight.

That was Dave’s recipe for who played. You are right, those were some good days!

"Still growing" is a more acceptable way of saying the team still doesn't know what it's doing.

Will Emery play if they do end up getting to the X? Is he done?

[Wilbur]

Gotta survive the first period push from Omaha.  Then again, our guys didn't skate much the third period so they should be okay.

Same with Blaiser. And Gino for that matter.

Posch isn’t Patrick Roy.  He hasn’t been that great since coming back.  It probably didn’t help, but UND has more of an excuse if we are talking injuries.  Bottom line is every team has to deal with injuries.

I think they should have said lets red shirt this year and come back next year ready to go.

#27 has 4 goals this year and none since 11/8.  6 assists and 1 since 11/9

I guess he is on 4th line now

 

[Benny Baker]

FWIW, I believe the 4th line (29, 20, and 27) were on the ice for the game tying and game winning goals last night.

Well yeah, that's beside the point. 

Never mind making some huge plays to ice the game away...
