Honestly, I'd prefer this aggressive approach going after the puck vs some previous teams that have sat back in their box and let guys pick corners. You're going to get burned occasionally but it's been working for the PK recently and only keeps getting better. The kicker is you have to win the puck battles at all costs when you do it.
While I agree with what you're saying, ASU's top line is about as high end as it gets in college hockey this year. They're maybe just a notch below the Plante line in lines I've seen us play this year. If you give Lucius any time, he's going to make you pay.
Think this is a good opportunity to get Gibby a start so he stays fresh for the stretch run in case we need him. I believe I recall Clarke Saunders starting an NCAA game for us one year after an injury.
A bit divergent, but I'm a big fan of how The Ralph goes almost silent when the opposing team scores. It's almost as if it didn't happen. Meanwhile in Duluth, St Cloud, or anywhere else there's 1/4 to 2/3 of the rink cheering for UND's goals.
