some offense. What he's never been able to do is take a team that has struggled to find offense and figure out what to do to make it consistently work.

But having noted that, getting swept at home by this edition of Michigan hockey is simply not acceptable. The skunkbears failed to notch a win in conference until their 8th game. The only other sweep they pulled off all season was of lowly Lake Superior State. After seeing their goaltender find his groove and going unbeaten in their last 3 games, the confidence factor should have been resolved.

They have put themselves in a position like last year, where it became necessary to win the conference playoff to make the NCAAs. And while that was a nice accomplishment, even in a tournament known more for being a crapshoot than not, playing must win games like that takes a lot out of a team.

My guess is this team will be among Jackson's earliest here to hit the golf courses.

There's some sort of athletic malaise permeating the

University these days. Football without a meaningful significant win, both ladies and men's basketball in the dumps, and now hockey. The first ten games or so, it was impressive how ND was getting scoring from a number of guys, and suddenly the well went dry. Of all teams; Michigan! They came into ND with 7 freak'n points and leave with 13, 1 point behind us.
@#$%^!!!!

I’ll take the blame - drove to campus for ND sports weekend

0 for 4 - went to 2 hockey games, men’s and women’s basketball. At least men’s basketball showed up.

I can't remotely equate this with the others ....

really limited sample size. How did we do last year? the year before? Start of this season? These guys cannot score right now but let's not imply that the hockey program has been floundering.

Fair enough *
