    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?

    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.
