Even Schloss was critical of the team in his gamer (as much as a newspaper writer can be). He noted the team “fell apart” over the course of 48 hours, referred to them as “listless”, and said they have a “long list of things to contemplate about the season”. He also mentioned how poor the PK has been. I know that’s not as harsh as some people on here would like him to be but he does have to maintain a certain level of diplomacy. Either way it was nice to see him call a spade a spade.

Raboin has a great job, he’s not leaving to come here.

Smaby as assistant. Simpson or st Clair as the 4th

This legit made me laugh out loud. Not sure if it’s humorous laughter or maniacal but either way I’m grateful.

Northern Michigan, who was 62 in the pairwise coming to the weekend, is going to sweep Bemidji in bemidji. But hey at least we got a tie at home against bemidji

Not TJ’s fault we are getting worked but he definitely isn’t stealing the game, nor is he playing as well as Hobie did last night

Killing a penalty is something to celebrate in this current age of UND hockey.

We killed a penalty!!!!!

Another reason Croal should be in the lineup. Perron’s skill is getting wasted playing with a guy at 70%(Berg) and Omac who isn’t a great wing

Oh FFS it’s like we hate tenacity and killing penalties. Oh wait, all of that has been on full display recently

We also have no idea what happens in the locker room. Do guys get (like when Motzko benched Pitlick almost of the remainder of the game after he tossed his stick into the crowd and served his penalty). But Jammer seemed to have learned his lesson and played it close to the vest last night so I’m sure he got an earful. Guessing Kunz at least got the word but it still seems like he should be playing down the chart.

To help @Oxbow6 beat the dead horse: There were a couple times in the first period last night where Omac came through the neutral zone with speed and was flowing so well as it was through the middle. He looked good for a few shifts on a different line but also showed that when he plays like a center he is in fine form. Then just like that, boom, we are back to the previous lines giving up leads like Miami.

In a way I get it because as we all know, the retaliation ends up going 4x4 instead of you getting the power play

Seriously Sacha and Swanson aren’t getting surrounded by the right players anymore. But hey if you lose, just keep trying the same things over and over and over and hope that it’ll work later.

That’s true. Because if TJ would have been in we would have lost by 2 haha. Hobie made some saves to bail out the wretched D zone turnovers that I’m not sure TJ has been good enough to make.

That crowd isn’t saying those games don’t matter. That crowd is saying that LOOKING at the pairwise in November isn’t helpful because the math is too volatile. Everyone knows that a game in October carries the same importance as the games in February.

He played at least 2 shifts in the 3rd but I’m not sure what the total was.

Yeah swap him and littler for a shift or 3

Jubenvil has looked good tonight. Keeping it simple and making smart plays with the puck. Looking better than emery

The 22-23 team would like a word. That team gave away leads and D zone pucks like it was a competition

These forward lines already have more chemistry than we’ve had all season.

No matter what I think about Monty’s presence in the lineup, he still has more points than Wilkie

Yeah the D pairings last Saturday changed a bit within the game so I’ll bet they will tonight, too. Plus livanavage played a million minutes last game but I’m sure that’s due to how much time was spent on special teams

Playing 50 seconds last game indicates he’s not even being utilized.. Croal is an absolute energy guy, can take multiple solid shifts, and can kill penalties. He’s more valuable than Monty even if Monty can play mediocre D for a couple shifts.

Croal should be in over Montgomery. Monty played 1 or 2 shifts last game and we could have used an extra PK guy like Croal Saturday. Berry is being the nice guy and going with the hometown kid when someone better is wearing a suit.
