So several hours later, I have to say:
This team is anything but hard to play against. They are soft on defense and only average on the forecheck.
Goaltending is sub par. We keep seeing "peer" teams with better.
East-West seems to be more of UND's system than "Get North". Especially in our own zone - opt to shove the puck across the zone (or just stand there and hesitate) and let it get turned over.
This coaching staff has run its course. I hope we have meaningful change after the SECOND season where UND was ranked #4 preseason, but ended up (presumably) missing the playoffs. This era is done.
