Re: CCHA QUARTERFINALS: @ Michigan Tech (3/8-3/10)

It's time. I've heard the money is there to move on as well. I think Ty is an outstanding person, but I had doubts from when he took over and it's proven true. If anything, he might be too nice. From day one there was talk of no big changes/keep on the Berge systems etc. Unfortunately there were ple...

Re: It's Miami State Week!

Some comments from Berge and Barry have stuck out to me. Alot about waiting for buy in, trying to get "their guys in" etc. Very similar to what they did and said here. Which took a long time. Obviously it worked out in the long run because, well it's not like the team had been any good in ...

Re: It's Miami State Week!

Good weekend of hockey. I think Berge and co are going to regret leaving. Their fans are already disgruntled. His rebuild scheme takes a long time and they have shown basically zero improvement yet. If they aren't making waves next year I bet the calls for change get deafening. It's not all their fa...

Re: Offseason Thread

Cameron Wright has committed to playing his extra year at Denver. <sigh> At least guys are all landing at blue blood programs (except for Cullen). That leaves Musser as the last one on the board? Musser, and I guess technically Rich? But I don’t see a reason he’d play more on his own dime, as a wal...

Re: Offseason Thread

Intellectually I get all this, but every time I see a name pop up it feels like a punch in the gut. This group underachieved in my eyes, so while it's difficult to see them move on, I believe it's for the best interest of the program. Agreed. I think that group got too much hype and bought into it ...

That one sucks.
It does but obviously hed rather go get pounded by the entire nacho conference on a crap team. Hope the door didn't hit him on the way out.

Re: Offseason Thread

\:D/ Just out of curiosity, with there being so few D-1 college hockey programs, would it truly make a difference in what conference you play in as far as exposure to professional scouts? It seems like talent scouts find the talent regardless of where they play. Plenty of BG people (and other WCHA s...

Re: Offseason Thread

BG guys now in the portal: Connor Ford Max Johnson Eric Dop Justin Wells Carson Musser Tim Theocharidis That's fine. They didn't exactly lead the team anywhere and haven't won anything, other than the over celebrated tournament bid that they backed into and then blew their shot in. I am usually a b...

Re: NCAA Tournament Watch

Denver is done. There is no justification for them to be in under any circumstance. I tend to agree with this, but who do you then put in? Literally anyone with a winning record. I'm fine with bg not making it - they probably don't deserve it. But letting teams under 500 in the tournament is stupid...

Re: ROUND 1: vs. Northern Michigan (3/12-3/14)

What a disappointing season. Our program does have a culture problem with mid season collapses and not showing up to play, and that's not unique to Ty, it was certainly a problem with berge and they need to fix it already. Embarrassing. I also agree that the much vaunted class of seniors is pretty d...

Re: @ UAH (2/28-29)

We got 21 of a possible 24 points in the last 4 series. We can’t act like we’ve been terrible this last month. We just dug a hole a little bit too deep. I have all the confidence in the world that we’re going to go on the road and win this series. I think I speak for a lot of BG hockey fans by sayi...

Re: 50th Anniversary and Arena Renovation Plans

They said last night that they have already received the money for 3 of the 7 million required to complete the project. They said they need another 2 million before they can start bidding it out to contractors. Let’s hope they get there soon. Would be really nice to see that done in the next few ye...

Re: 50th Anniversary and Arena Renovation Plans

As of today the project bid has not been submitted. With the mini sheet having its floor, pipes, and the building’s ice making equipment being replaced this summer I’d be surprised if the work got underway that soon. I think 2021-2022 is more likely, especially if there’s some more donations that t...

Re: @ Bemidji State (1/31-2/1)

Swept again. I wonder if these guys internalized the wrong lessons from the past few years. Coast through the mid/late season losing a bunch of winnable games and somehow find a way to turn it up in the playoffs. Obviously the coaching staff hasnt fixed that problem. This year's team is taking it to...

Re: @ Bemidji State (1/31-2/1)

Those of you who’ve seen us play ( I might be up on the 8th)... what’s biggest problem? Lack of offense, scoring in general, inconsistent goalkeepers? Would like to hear your insights as we’ve won 1, tied 1 of last 7-8 games by rough count. Scoring is definitely the #1 issue. On the other hand, too...
