I thought this group would be more "tape to tape" © Doug Woog. Kind of disturbing that halfway through the second period Saturday it turned into chip and chase and dump and go. It also bothers me that people don't think SCSU is any good. If they aren't very good UND is very very bad.

Some thoughts: ~UND didn't exactly get swept by the little sisters of the poor. SCSU is a pretty good hockey club. So I'm not jumping off any ledges yet. ~I'm upset that they didn't test Faragher at all during this series. Probably one of his easier weekends in a SCSU jersey. ~Stecher was UND's best player this weekend. I don't think I can remember a time when a Freshman defenseman was UND's best player for an entire weekend. ~The one area that was pretty consistent was goaltending. Zane was steady all weekend. ~Hak said post game that the effort was there. A bit concerning because SCSU dominated play for some prolonged stretches. Its November. I didn't have this team winning the NCHC. And I'm sure glad that trophies aren't handed out in November. I think UND has played the top two teams in the league with mixed results. They've put themselves in a hole early, but at the same time there are plenty of league games left to get into the mix. I remember a few years ago UND got swept at home by Michigan Tech in the middle of December. I was ticked, I threw stuff around the house, and vowed that that team wasn't going anywhere.....well, that team proved me wrong. I think this team will prove some doubters wrong eventually too.

He can sit next to Mattson. But I don't think Thompson won't get thrown into the fire against SCSU. Panzarella should be in uniform tomorrow.

So you're telling me all Israel has to do is win a national championship and Syria will leave them alone?

The coaching staff knows much more than I ever will about the game. Three guys who all played at the college level, and some NHL experience in there as well. But I have absolutely no idea what they see in #25. And why you have guys like #17 and #11 sitting in the stands watching. I'll walk away from the edge, and have faith that this team will get better as the months progress, as they have every year.

Fixed your post troll!

Alright, took my deep breath.....thoughts: ~Listening to post game interviews they're talking about UND only playing 55 minutes.....boy I'd say it was more like 45 minutes or so. ~Nothing Zane could do on any of the goals. All goals were defensive breakdowns. Thought he was solid. ~I thought SCSU's defense would be a little softer without Jensen, but they seem like they didn't miss a beat without him. Very tough in their own end. ~I'm glad that UND didn't tie the game at the end. Did not deserve any points or chance for points while SCSU was the more inspired team. ~I think we all know who needs to watch in a suite tomorrow evening.

Give credit where credit is due to SCSU. Blocked shots, great puck movement, and just tenacious on the forecheck. Ole just said on the radio that SCSU got more bounces.....uhhh....no Ole....

They can't say Faragher stole that one. He was good but by no means did he steal that one. That was the boys in black wanting it more than the green and white.

Well the right team won that game. You can't care for the last ten minutes after you gave up three goals on breakdowns.

Wonder what the issue with the ice is? Humid day in GF? Rain at all?

Yuck....get it deep and get the goalie off.

PP for UND. TV timeout comes at a perfect time for UND. Draw something up here Hak and get pucks to the net.

Stecher made that play happen. And I'm alive in the Sioux survivor.

Mitch was out there. His line just had a good shift. Be nice to see three or four of those in a row.

Too much indirect passing on the power play. Got to be tape to tape or it gives them a chance to pressure.

At least start playing in their end a little bit. SCSU has been the better team. Without some good goaltending and an amazing play by Drake its 3 or 4 nothing SCSU.

Maybe time for a timeout. SCSU all over UND.....I mean all over them.

Third line on the ice. That group hasn't looked good tonight.

Felt that one coming. SCSU is in control of the game.

Not the third period start they wanted.

I'm very impressed with SCSU. Gritty group. They are playing a great road game. I think they took a bit out of Yale's book with a lot of puck pressure in every zone. Not giving UND much space whatsoever.

Mitch has not seen the ice since he had that poor shift about the midway point of the second period. Calling it right now. He's not in the lineup tomorrow.

3-2 BC now.
