Yeah, last years team was really fun to watch, especially in the first half of the season. It just looked like they were really enjoying the games. Losing to those a-holes from Ann Arbor...not so much.
Watched tonight's game with my Dad who is not a hockey guru by any means. He was asking me why North Dakota looked so good in the first but was having trouble getting the puck out of their own end after that. I had to go with the Hennessy answer that "the other team is trying too" but it seemed like we really struggled to keep up the intensity to be able to go play offense for long stretches in the second and third period.
