Wilbur Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Let's not make the St. Lawrence goalie look all world. We are four lines deep, and should wear them down with that depth. Siouxweep. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frozen4sioux Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 sometimes you play up or down to the competition, last weekend may have been that. This weekend they fix the glitch and right the ship, play to their skill and win both: Fri 5-2 Sat 3-1 w/ENT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND skated circles around UAA dominating them the entire weekend everywhere except the most important place, the score board. Combination of great goaltending for UAA and missing open nets made the scores much, much closer than it should have been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they just mean that someone mentioned that Mismash and Kawaguchi were scratched, not really an elaborated story about it. Regarding them sitting, I think that sometimes as a young player, seeing the game from above the ice can be good for you too. Might not necessarily be strictly about performance, but also about the opportunity to see the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who watched the game saw that it looked like the ice was tilted to UND's favor. I attribute the lack of finish to nerves...first games of season, long road trip. The ice was also clearly bad. Games like this happen. We fortunately come out no worse for wear with a 1-0-1 record...still undefeated : ) The next two weekends are absolutely HUGE. We need to go 2-0 vs SLU and we must go 1-1 with the Gophers. I don't think this is too much of a stretch. For PWR, you never want to lose a H2H comparison, and it also makes a difference on your COP vs other teams in that conference that you don't play, and always factors into RPI. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might not necessarily be strictly about performance, but also about the opportunity to see the game. It's a numbers game for UND that's a problem that the coaches have to like, but will make for some tough decisions on who's in and who's out. They are 15 deep at the forward spot, obviously not all the same abilities, but all 15 that can play. I see it as needing to get Yon / Smith in for the weekend and Mismash / Kawaguchi didn't show enough the night before secure their spot. Obviously it was their first collegiate game, I don't think they played poorly, but somebody had to come out. After watching both games though, it does appear that Yon should be "out" more than he should be "in". He has more experience than Mismash / Kawaguchi at the collegiate level, but not close to as much talent. Smith though is a valuable guy to have in there, injuries will happen and it'll make the coaching staffs life a little easier, but with everyone healthy, I see 13 forwards that should be in with only 12 spots. The same can be said on defense, Bast will need an opportunity, Peski / Johnson seemed to step up their games this year, Kierstad played pretty well his first weekend too. Very deep team this year.

AJS Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Btw, the sophomore class was probably the least heralded class I can remember (outside of Jost of course). I'll continue to eat crow, I think they'll be a fantastic class that outside of maybe C. Poolman will all be 4 year guys. A lot of solid players in Bowen, Smith, Poolman, Peski, Hoff and Johnson.

Injuries are going to happen, as they always do. With the players on this year's team an injured player should be afforded the oppurtunity to recover as opposed to coming back a little early and playing with a nagging injury. As we've seen with the football team, you can never have too much depth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yon for sure, but other than that, it's a tough call. Smith is valuable, I think he needs to be in, but I also think we need Mismash and Gooch. I'd go with the lineup they had Friday and make changes (for Smith) for the forward who struggles the most Friday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
