How don't we f-n ice the puck
One of the dumbest sequences I’ve ever seen.

While I am encouraged by the overall play by the team so far, I have to temper my enthusiasm a bit when I look at our strength of schedule (30th). Our record against top 20 ranked teams is 1-1 (#5 Duluth), it is 3-1 against the top 20 in NPI (1-1 #4 Duluth, 2-0 #19 St.Thomas). Can’t complain about their record, just a bit concerned about the quality of the teams they’ve played so far. They have a few good tests with high ranked teams the rest of the way (Denver, at Duluth, at WMU).
I agree we have some true tests coming up, but I’m very impressed how this team has navigated the first half given all of the turnover and youth on the roster. They’ve displayed a calmness and consistency you don’t usually see from teams in this situation. I give credit to the coaching staff for a consistent message and game plan, and establishing a #1 guy between the pipes sure helps too!

And what is your source for this assertion?
Ummm…what part of “Jax said…” from my post didn’t you understand?

In the radio pregame yesterday Tim asked Jax about scheduling this series and Jax said that they’d gotten to know and respect Gotkin over the past several years at the coaches meetings down in Florida. Gotkin had never played UND so they decided to get them on the schedule. Sounds like a nice agreement amongst guys that mutually respect each other and their programs.
Also…they are well aware of everyone wanting the “blue bloods” on the schedule.

I suspect there is a trade off between offensive creativity and defensive responsibility that players are dealing with.... hopefully it's a learning curve and the pendulum finds the happy rhythm.
The mantra heading into the season seemed to be getting on our toes more and playing more aggressively. That’s definitely the case. Unfortunately, they’re not generating the expected offensive production and giving up far too many grade-A’s. Lots of stuff on film to work with so hopefully these guys learn appropriate timing as the season goes on. Aggressive mistakes feel better to me than passive mistakes. It’s just maddening at times.

They need to tone down the aggressiveness from the dmen a bit. It’s leading to too many odd many rushes and chances against. The top lines scoring should allow the dmen to back off a bit and not force things offensively.
I think the D men backing off a tad would allow the forwards to do their thing instead of worrying about being ready to backcheck all the time.

Get the win tomorrow night and this weekend ends up as a great weekend. All they have to do is shut the Plante line down. The hard part is shutting the Plante line down. UMD will only go as far as that one line takes them.
Hey at least they have a line that’s doing something at an extremely high level with incredible consistency!

Tries to do it on his own. Not gonna work in this league
He made a great play to keep possession and “reset” just prior but he couldn’t resist the urge to spin-o-Rama and play hero!

UND is structured to out will the opposition. Be relentless, and wear them down. Hard to do that when you give up bad goals, take penalties, and coast half the game. Hopefully there’s a response tonight.
Also hard to do that when you can’t match the other team’s physicality.

Don't understand the rationale for having 2 defensive specialists in both Smaby & Simpson. Malone would seem the wiser choice, plus he probably has more connections in Canada than Smaby.
I don’t mind having multiple defensive guys on the bench. They would have insights on forechecks and breakouts that cause problems for various defenses other teams are running.

Unless a donor steps up to cover part or all of the buyout this is all noise. UND will not be eating over $400k especially with all the budget issues at hand.
How much revenue does a home playoff series bring? We are potentially going on the road in 2 of the past 3 seasons. How does that compare to the money needed for a buyout?
Not a good trend. Spend money to save money?

For me it was taking over the Embassy Suites in St. Paul for the weekend. The happy hour memories are too many to count!

Radio after the game and Tim was saying how great they played the first and 2nd period as and berry chimed in saying pretty much the same thing
why didn’t UND win the game then
It’s because they’re both judging the product through the same old, tired lens.

The whole weekend has been a puck management nightmare.

Looking at these replays during the intermission, was there a case to challenge the CC goal for goalie interference? CC player caught Persson’s stick knob as he skated by. That exact play was disallowed in the Bruins game today.

Green vs yellow is a great color matchup
Reminiscent of 2016 title game!

This was an ass-whooping, for sure, but it doesn’t count for two losses. Response is key.
Tomorrow’s game starts 0-0. Flush this one and get the split tomorrow. Don’t let this become two losses.-

NCHC Battle for 1st - DU @ UND
in Men's Hockey
Posted
After Friday’s game Jackson mentioned that DU kind of “baited them” into being slower moving the puck around on the PP and that they needed to be more aggressive. It was kind of disappointing to see more of the same last night.
That said, sometimes it just doesn’t click on a given weekend. Take the opportunity to learn from it and move on.
