Miami allowed 43 shots on goal tonight
10 for everyone on the ice. With the minor thatâs 102 total PIM.
One official short, too, so definitely smart to just boot everyone involved.
Yikes. Do I even want to put myself through the torture of watching us get shellacked by DU and CC?
(The answer, of course, is yes, because I am a glutton for punishmentâŚ)

80 PIM by UNO is an all-time record for a Miami opponent.
58 Miami PIM in a period is also a team record.
146 PIM combined.

Team just sucks. Hope the new staffâs recruits donât bail. Very clear current roster simply canât compete with an average team let alone in the conference.
You are the optimist of the decade, Daniel! Gotta love your spirit! I donât know how you guys do it (keep so fully engaged) after all these years of futility.
I think Berg had accepted that his team wasnât talented and he implemented a grind it out system that kept the games close. Noreen is trying to implement his system, one that will hopefully yield results down the line but one that leaves us woefully overmatched.

Itâs been a long time since the 1998-2001 years, eh? Those were slim times too.
That was fully sarcastic, Iâm actually extremely pessimistic about this team, I just enjoy watching the games regardless of how bad we are (maybe Iâm masochist) 
Noreen has an excellent class coming in next season.
And the next looks good so far.
Hang in there.

Rebuilds take time. Most of the players on the team are not his. With that said, need to be better than losing 8-1 versus Omaha.

Yes I would submit that a rebuild doesnât necessarily mean your team is completely uncompetitive.
I think this goes to something @2XHawk posted above: Berg played a style that was designed to minimize the talent gap. Noreen plays the style he wants the team to play when the talent is in place. That may mean some awful results when we donât have the talent, but itâs a program-direction choice as opposed to a risk-minimization choice. Which, in a total rebuild, makes sense.

Bergeron played the same grinder style down here that he did up at BUGS. It wasnât a decision he made to minimize the talent gap, thatâs what worked in the WCHA and was all he knew. He believed he could build a championship caliber team that would out grind Denver and Nodakâs NHL draft picks. He also thought he only needed to recruit a couple of years out so good luck getting 4 and 5 star talent when theyâre already committed elsewhere. Letâs not polish this guyâs legacy.
While frustrating, Noreen looks to be sorting things out. This year will stink but Iâm hoping to see improvements the second half. He starts getting his guys in next year and in a few short months heâs actually built a recruiting pipeline. We should expect 25-26 to look a lot different.
Back to lurking.

Not in any way making excuses, but that being the 16th game in eight weekends after an 11-hour bus ride didnât help. No other team in this league has played every weekend. Omaha has only played 12 regular-season games.
