This team is flat out frustrating to watch right now. O-fer in their last three games. Not exactly "surging" are they? Frankly, I think the look like crap.
-
UND suddenly playing to avoid THREE STRAIGHT LOSSES tomorrow. UND is 2-4-1 in their last 7 games. I don't get how they come out and lay an egg tonight. Should have been pumped to play this game and get back on track (exhibitions don't count, boys)

Thoughts:
- Their coach looks twelve....
-Tim Walsh is still bad at officiating hockey...
-Way too many slow starts....
-Canada won the World Juniors....
-My wife still won't shut up and leave me alone when I'm watching hockey....
Let's not get swept at home by the 8th place team in the league.
YES, that made things even worse for me, too!

Announcers just said UND seems "disinterested". Wow.
How the hell can you play a game on national TV in a UND jersey and have the announcers say you looked like you didn't care? UND SUCKED tonight.

For the majority of the game, I thought UND looked pretty good. Some segments when they all looked unfocused, and that led to the last goal for WM certainly. But, a nice bounce back from a week ago, where they played a similar team, and could not get a win. Great to see Cam back. Let's go an a winning streak!

Weird I thought we looked better last night...much better.
Perhaps in the 2nd period, but certainly not for the full game. UND looked decent tonight. Had a lot of sustained O-zone time in all periods. But, Union transitioned well, and executed when they had chances. UND has to stop gifting the puck with blind cross-ice passes or passes that are too hard for the D to handle.
-
If UND coughs up the puck as untimely as they did this weekend, they will have a hard time winning any of the next four games.
-
I thought they played with better intensity tonight. But for 30 seconds there in the 3rd, I thought we were watching last years' team. Play well for a while, then cough up the puck with sloppy play twice to gift the other team 2 in a row.
In all fairness, UND is missing too many guys right now. When everyone is healthy, we should see a better team. Having said that, this was a frustrating weekend at best.
-
Two straight losses. Another Black Friday s#$t show. Way to come ready to play, boys.
If they don't get a decent first period tomorrow, the will lose again.
-
How about sitting Pogo tomorrow? Might help him later.
Didn't see the 1st, but saw the rest. I was yelling at the screen in the 2nd, and rightly saying it might be too late in the 3rd. Can't keep having crappy starts on Fridays.

Difference in this game was Goofs buried their chances, and UND's experienced forwards were more or less skunked, especially for the number of shots they had.
-
My one observation so far this season is that Pogo, Gersich & the experienced guys in general need to get going, or this is gonna be a loooong season. Scoring 1 goal a game aint gonna get it done, and Cam is not capable of shutouts (he always seems to allow 1 or 2). So, if we are not going to out-goaltend other teams, we better damn well get the offense going.
-
Just when I thought this team was toast, they finally get a sweep and land home ice. Granted, Miami is not very good this year, but still a job well done with their backs against the wall. Hopefully, they play the same way next week.

Maybe someone should start the 2017-18 discussion thread tonight?
I've been wrong before (and I've been right). Stick a fork in this turkey, its done.

Who still thinks this team can do anything after tonight? Seriously?
This was a make or break night, and UND stunk. Goaltending stunk (Yes, I heard the Bronx cheer for Cam in the 3rd), offense was non-existant (and 1st round draft picks were basically invisible tonight). Nothing good. Zero.

You guys sucked tonight. 2nd period - what the HELL? I've been watching UND hockey for more decades than I care to admit - I've never HEARD of a 1 shot period. Are you FRICKEN kidding me? SHAME ON YOU tonight.

Cautiously optimistic. UND has played pretty well lately, even though their record is not reflecting that.
However, Ausmus/Peski have to have a better game {and remainder of the season), or this team has no chance. On the positive side, absolutely great to see Jost & Boeser both score late in the 3rd to ice the game.
-
How is UND even ranked anymore? They are nearly a .500 team now. My conclusion after watching them lose again on national TV: UND basically sucks at hockey this year.
-
What the hell happened to the team that buzzed against SCSU, etc.? This weekend, UND looked WEAK. Would not be surprised to see UND watching the NCAAs on TV this year. Ranked No 8? Not even close.

The thing that amazes me about the power play is that Matt Shaw is in charge of it. He ran power plays IN THE NHL, and his teams were consistently in the top 5 for success rates. I get the difficulty of having certain players out, but even with them in, the power play hasn't been anything to write home about. So, what gives?
I was thinking the same thing last night. I'm sure Shaw is feeling tons of pressure after yesterday's fiasco. It's just one game, but UND's PP has not been good this year generally.
-
I was a lot more impressed tonight than Jake Brandt. I thought the boys did a good job of getting open for passes, and creating chaos at the net. I agree with Jake that UND still has some maturing to do on defense, but overall this was a really solid showing.
-
Duckies and bunnies aside...this team just found out how they are NOT a #5 Team. Not even close.
-
In the interest of not just posting rants after a bad game (although that is very cathartic), I don't think the boys will come out in zombie form tonight. I expect better puck support, more O-zone possession, and more goals. And, it would be awfully nice if Cam would show up; I believe he will.
Unfortunately, UND is in a position where they probably can't give Tomek a game right now, because of the pairwise egg they laid last night. Got to have your #1 guy in there again for this MUST WIN game.
I said before the season that this team is REALLY young, and that is showing for sure. But, last night was not a game of rookie mistakes. Rather, they overlooked an opponent that came in to the Ralph ready to play their best game, and that is what has people so fired up about the loss. Better play your best tonight, boys.
-
Why attack a troll when we should be attacking our own team tonight? That was a turd sandwich served up at home, and that makes two straight home egg-laying displays. Not acceptable to play like zombies for 45-50 minutes at home.

Does UND even look capable of a single win right now? I wonder.
