UND @ UNO-Playoff time at Baxter

[The Sicatoka]

Reverse of last weekend:

Omaha Friday in a laugher.
UND Saturday in a squeeker.

Then, team that scores third goal of game wins Sunday.

What's with all the negativity on this thread? THIS IS PLAYOFF HOCKEY FOLKS! Throw out the regular season records and the horse !@#$ attitudes that have been persistent all season long. UND sweeps: 4-2 Friday, 3-1 Saturday

 

 

I would argue that this represents the state of the program.  Maybe it is good that UND fans are humbled a bit, as I recall a cocky overconfident sentiment that prevailed in a good portion of our fanbase where people thought there was no way we could lose a series or a game based on the opponent.  As we have seen, especially in a one and done situation any team can beat another on a given night.   We probably need a little bit of middle ground between optimism and pessimism, but the trajectory of the program is leaning toward the latter, which is not great.

Love this and agreed, UND sweeps. Should have swept last week but no puck luck.

This concept hasn't fared well the last 3 of 5 years....soon to be 4 of 6 unfortunately.

Have you watched them this year?  Sioux are consistently inconsistent.

You’re saying the 7-3 beat down last Saturday was due to puck luck?  Not sure that would account for a 4 goal difference.

get Littler and Croal with boisvert and UND wins in 2. 
 

Any other lineup and UND is too soft to succeed, and are making tee times on Monday.

This would be a good start.

I feel like I’m being punked, or gaslit, with the quotes in the latest Schlossman article. Do the guys think we haven’t watched them all season long? “We’re ready for this” yeah ok, guy

I feel like that when Starman & Alex push thier hype dribble.  Very apparent thier not aware of the team on the ice... But speaking well of others is a proven path to success in thier field.  Even worse was Barry Melrose, but he gets a pass from me.

Its been an entire year of no puck luck honestly.  Especially against Western Michigan of all teams.  

[JakeLove]

Good Puck luck happens when you outwork the other team, soooooooo .  .    .   .

Not in Grand Forks.  Today, maybe.  But not Monday.

I'm going with the narrative from the newest UND hockey podcast. That is correct, no puck luck last Saturday. Won't happen again this weekend! UND Sweeps.

Except this weekend is best 2 out of 3.

And no, this isn't good at all. I don't want to end up like Wisconsin; they are still trying to fix the mess Eaves left.

I think UND will win the series. Will they get past the NCHC games in St Paul is another question.

Optimism? Really? The team is playing for their lives to be able to play a little bit longer and not booking tee times. They didn't get to this point because a no puck luck. A calamity of errors would be more like it. From the HC to the team's captain. Any guess on who will be paired up for lines this weekend? Anybody think that the lines will be shuffled once again? Right or wrong? I have a small shred of optimism for this team. If they win the quarterfinal series this weekend AND win next Friday in St. Paul, I will attend the championship game on Saturday and cheer my till I have no voice.

Maybe UNO will bring back Johnny T, resulting in two easy wins for the Green and White.  Even having him in the stands has to help.

[RedFrog]

How do you have the other series' shaking out?

I'm going:

Western over SCSU in 2

Arizona St over UMD in 2

Denver over CC in 2
