If we're going by the eye test(yes I know my glasses tint my vision green) UND is a more complete team. UND rolled 4 lines all weekend from what I could tell and it felt like UMD put the Plante line back out at every available opportunity. So the Plante line and the goalie Gajan is what they depend on. And when they get stymied by an opponent, Saturday night happens.
As much as I think Homer has great qualities if he could be a little more conservative coming out of net and figure out how to use his glove hand, the best situation is having Jan take the net and run with it. Start the goaltender development again and have Heil come in next year to challenge for minutes and off we go
Honestly would’ve been tougher without that push to get to OT, I’m a bit of an outlier at the Ralph as I don’t get too excited win or lose in OT and shootout. I know it matters to an extent nationally and league points but it’s not a real test of what we’ll face at any point in the postseason. And that’s the end goal
That was mind boggling, I was sitting at the end of the ice and it felt as though time stood still. Thankfully Strinden redeemed himself in a big way with the tying goal
Frustrating game but UND outplayed UMD for large stretches of it, it’s concerning that the high end talent isn’t burying their chances. However, this team plays hard. I don’t think there’s a chance in hell last years team makes that comeback. If we can get rid of some of the immature plays this team can be extremely hard to play against.
All that being said, tomorrow will tell us a lot about how much they’ve grown
