InHeavenThereIsNoBeer Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Agreed, I probably shouldn't have even brought it up because it was such a big win for the boys however he did fumble it a few times. I believe he ended up staying with the puck but still looked shaky doing it. Re-watch the game, he did. My bro and I were right there and were gasping a few times he held the puck, once he attempted to sauce it to JS and almost gave SCSU the puck on the door step. But, no one should be making a big deal out of it because he hadn't played in such a long time and scored a big one for us. My initial response was soley due to the fact I wanted to see Thompson back out there. Ah yes! now that you mention that sauce to JS I do remember. That one made me damn near soil myself. Honestly a lot of that game is a blur for me because I was so nervous/excited but that play does stick out now. The one play that stuck out to me was Panzarella coming up the ice and making a really good short pass under a Dman's stick onto our guy's tape to keep a rush moving up ice going instead of the same old ring it around the boards.

TNF Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I thought NS upped his play in the defensive end during the critical stretches of the third period. He won a few puck battles right in front of us and seemed to be making a conscious effort to work harder in that end of the ice. He will continue to grow defensively next year but I thought it was great to see him take a step in that area heading into the FF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geaux_sioux Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 His next development will be strength which should lead to a better shot better speed and better defense. We have to remember that he is a string bean still and has tons of weight to gain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farce poobah Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 As if we needed more proof that everyone has bought in.... Between the 2 games, 18 different UND skaters blocked at least one shot. And the 51 blocked shots exceeds by 1 the 50 shots on goal from QU and SCSU. Fabulous. Just fabulous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yzerman19 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 He did fumble around a bit but overall his game was good. I noticed the goal obviously and a couple shaky moments on the puck but other than that he blended into the game like good stay at home defensemen often do. The SCSU goal was a blown coverage by Poolman, not Panzo. It was the wing lined up opposite Poolman that scored. As a wing you have your counterpart until the puck moves back to the point- you then have coverage on the point on your side of the rink. On a quick play like that, the d doesn't have time to take that wing. My immediate reaction was that was Pooly playing wing and not having enough time upfront to make the right play there.

I never said that goal was his fault. He was solid in his d zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxperDave Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I already know how next season will end. The same way is has for the last 10 years. This program is the ultimate tease. And it will probably end the same way next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
