Re: UNO 2015-16 Season Thread: Frozen Four, New Barn, What Next?

Omaha is a long way away from having played itself out of the tourney. 8 games left in the regular season and at least 2 more in the playoffs. They win 6 of those games they're in, I'd bet.

They beat WMU two games, then split the 3 remaining regular season series and they can lock it down.

I wouldn't say they're a long way away. Even if it's at home, the series against SCSU and UND loom large, and the team got destroyed in K-Zoo when they played WMU for the first series. Even if 6 out of the final 8 are at home, six wins in the last eight is a really tall task, especially when you look at how they've stumbled around in league play.

I really hope your prediction comes true, though. If this team makes the NCAAs, I think the talent's there for them to make some noise. They just have to put it together.

UNO has games like that sometimes. The team's just so finesse-oriented that you sometimes see high-SOG, low-opportunity games with them. It's kind of a feast-or-famine playing style.
.

This is why the SOG stats early in the season meant squat. You can shoot 100 times a game, but if they are crummy opportunities, then it is meaningless. If you have 10 shots and 8 are grade A's, then you're in better position to win.

UNO will be the team to miss the tourney.

UNO dominated possession but didn't really generate many quality scoring opportunities, lots of shots from the outside without anyone obstructing CCs goalie, and the rebounds were all quickly cleared. CC really made the most of their opportunities on offense and played pretty solid defense. CC has grown a ton from the start of this season, they are nothing like what they were in October.

The win Saturday night was really, really needed, especially that it came in such a strong fashion. Hopefully it helps this team get some of their confidence back. They've probably played their way out of a tournament berth, and we all know how UNO handles conference postseason play, but at least finishing the regular season strong would help the Mavs have a little positive momentum going into next year.

Regarding Blais, people have been grumbling about him retiring from the moment he signed on as coach. I'll honestly believe it when I see it. And really, some of these problems, like the poor postseason play and January slumps go all the way back to when Kemp was coaching.

From what I have heard, you might be close to getting your wish

We've lost 6 of our last 8. That's not a team that deserves a frozen 4 trip.

A ranking that was unearned even at the time. I said a year ago and 2 years ago, dean needs to retire. You can't come back from the winter break and try to get an ncaa berth by coasting.

Brodeur, Belfour, Roy, Hasek, Fuhr, doesn't matter. Unless you meant Dayn. I think he transferred to some D-3 school or something. Either way, the team was leaving Miami highlight reel looks all night and looked like they were skating through mud in their own zone.

And it looks like their road performance isn't that great either... Remember when this team was #1?

Don't you mean Belfour?

Thompson will probably not play for UNO after this season. ONce Weninger is back Kirk will likely be the doorman. I'm totally disgusted with UNO's performance at home since the holiday break. It was embarrassing to watch.

Watched a period and they played like they have won 7 titles.

I was at the UNO-Miami game last night. I don't know what's gotten into this team, but they looked beyond disinterested for the first 40 minutes. Thompson is not a good goalie, but they could have had Brodeur in his prime in net .

Don't you mean Belfour?
