I thought so too, but in today's herald, it said "Berry indicated Budy will be available next week after skating this week."

When you look at the guys who are out, it's devastating. Trying to put lines together, I'm guessing you drop Costantini down to 3rd line center, and put Budy & Montgomery in on left wing, while maintaining the 4th line as-is. Going to be tough until they start getting some guys back, which is why losing the lead last night really hurts their chances.

I thought ND made some headsy plays to take advantage of rush opportunities last night, and Omaha probably deserved a few more goals. Boys need to be reduce turnovers and get more zone time going tonight or the results may be opposite. A win is a win, but 20 shots is not going to do it normally.

Precisely. When this team is dialed in and ready to go, they are very good. Otherwise....

Driscoll was surprisingly good. Man, has this team been waiting to see that again. After a pretty disappointing 1st period, we saw UND play a more consistent &. solid game for the final two. That is how they have to play. With Sanderson leaving for the Olympics, at least they have some momentum now.

I've heard Brad Berry & Jake B. say that the team was playing pretty much as well last weekend as last night. I have to disagree there. Yesterday, the quickness and accuracy of the passing was night & day vs. last week. Generally, they also took shots when a lane was open, and guys were going to the net harder. Their jump and timeliness forechecking was also much better - last week they were often too late to have an effective forecheck. Now, can this team put together two games in a row?

More "honors" for the team this weekend: First time in 47 games that they blew a lead after 2 periods First time since 2018 that they were swept at home Frankly, this team is amazingly average right now.

All I can say is I watched this game with an old friend that has seen a lot of hockey like me, and we were both flabbergasted by the meltdown in period 3. Dominated most of the stats, except save percentage. Play Helsten tomorrow. The experiment is over with Driscol.

I agree that this was maybe the best U18 Team I have seen, but when the #5 ranked college team gets shut out at home vs. high school kids, you can't just say the other team played well - that is only half the story. This UND team now as a solid reputation for not showing up to a bunch of games. How can they be called a team of "leaders" and be expected to do anything this season if they can't get focused on a regular basis?

That was just plain slow & sloppy. So, now this team has two "honors": 1) First team to lose a "Destination Game" 2) First UND team to lose to the 17 year-olds (and got shut out, too). Not exactly the kind of things for which you want to be remembered.

This was a good road performance. Not very much mojo offensively, but they pulled a "Duluth" tonight, with the shut down, don't break mentality. Held them to 1 goal, and took advantage when the opportunity arose. I like the direction the team is going, but I would like to see more consistent offensive possession.

Heve to give kudos when due. ND, after SUCKING last night, came out and played a stronger defensive game. When they connect on a few passes and turn play north, they are a good damn team.

Good goaltenders are expected to make difficult saves sometimes. Tonight would be a great time, after getting yanked last night.

Can Driscoll ever get above .900?

If they don't ship in someone in place of Jandric for tomorrow, we have no leadership.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that UND does not beat anyone 8-1 this year. So, most lopsided loss of the season? For sure, unless UND has an even worse Friday showing down the road,

Have to say...this team really knows how to SUCK on certain nights. Epic fail guys.

"ND did not have their game tonight. Nothing else you can say" is the most kind thing the announcers could say about this pathetic showing. Sad day in ND hockey history.

I told myself I was not going to come here tonight to bitch about a loss. But...WTF? These Friday F-ups are getting old. What the hell, Berry?

After a tough loss last night, where everything seemed to bounce wrongly, UND holds a team with 15 draft picks to 13 shots. I'm guessing that UM has not been held to that few shots in a long, long time.

I was yelling at my TV: Save the Celly for when you tie the game, Gaber! Making it a 1-3 game was not the moment. Here's hoping that Driscol can get both a focus on, as well as some puck luck tonight. All three of the first goals were flukes. Not even sure the first one crossed the line fully. But, the next two were just bizarre.

Got DOMINATED tonight. Slow, sloppy, weak.

Will get dominated again tomorrow if that is the best they can do.

Uninspiring, unintelligent hockey tonight. Yes, we had a few flu cases, but that showing was pathetic.

I think 17K spend a lot to attend a game like this because they expect the team to play inspired, high level hockey. Ooops.
