Mr. Frisch

Need a good road game here. Own that dot, own the puck.

Howard Walker could deliver that message back in the day. Must have been some brawl.

Best Gopher team since 78-79, imho, and that is saying something.

I was sitting behind the opposite goal and heard that as if it hit the Sioux net in front of me. That was a terrific shot.

Can we get him a cast/ club on his hand like that dude (Gene Upshaw) from the old Oakland Raiders played with? Asking for a LOT of friends...

Arrive at the net with the puck, and in ill humor. Repeat. Stay out of the box. Hoist the cup. GO SIOUX!!!

Time for the 4th line to shine brighter. Mr. Albrecht is due.

Stay out of the box, win the game.

The speed of the game has changed tremendously over the years. HS kids now play at the speed of the 90's college teams, and college teams play at the speed of the pro game in the nineties. And the pro game now is crazy fast. Add that to the equipment changes, especially goalie pad area, and toss in big goaltenders and yeah, the 1980's college teams would struggle to have a winning record. And yeah, there is no off season any more.

3 keys: Put Senden on Wilkie, own the cycle in the CC end and bury our chances. GO SIOUX!!!!

Beat on Scheel all you want, but what was missing from last night's game was offensive puck possession. You lose that battle against a team like Duluth and you are going to spend too much time chasing, then you hand the opponent too many quality opportunities. Our zone entry and puck possession in the second and third periods was a couple of notches below lackluster. Get down a couple of goals and pinch too much, bang...breakaway. Perfect recipe for a "L". Those breakaway goals are not on Scheel, including the shortie (bad PP puck management). To come out on top against a team like this UND HAS TO figure out zone entry. The dogs made an adjustment on the blue line at the start of the second, and it killed our possession time. We did not adjust, and we could not overcome the momentum flip of that shorhander. Certainly Scheel let in a couple he'd like to have back, and I'm sure he had a nightmare about the one that went in his glove and bounced out, but this loss is not entirely on him. It was a team loss. Coaching, execution, and mentally...UND was outworked. Reload, bring in Tychonic...and be relentless on the puck. No space, no time, and win the races.
