This is why UND has problems. They stop Western with a chance to go up by more and they have a guy run into the kicker who had no intention of blocking the kick, ultimately ending in Western scoring.
Thank you. I was going to respond that we got a penalty in St. Cloud once for a reverse hit, but for some reason I was picturing Gage Ausmus, but now that you mentioned it, I can visualize the Blood hit clearly.
Just saying if there is stuff going on behind the scenes where he isn't being a good teammate, you can't just show up and have a good game and everything is fine with your teammates unless your mindset or actions change.
But I also wouldn't like the optics of because you perform well you get a pass on things, if indeed their are issues behind the scenes. I know what you are saying though, he better play well, then remove all doubt going forward.
Thought you were about Natty’s! None of those guys have Natty’s, unless Sanderson gets one this year. And you realize when we first recruited guys like Sanderson and Pinto they weren’t considered elite.
...and we’ve had plenty of guys that were thought of to be top end recruits when we got them and they didn’t develop later. Guys like Rizzo, Ryder Donovan, Ethan Bowen and Halliday were big time recruits at the time they committed. I wouldn’t trade a Donovan for Judd Caulfield.
UND had a problem with idiots throwing stuff on the ice years ago too. Their answer was to take the bottle caps from the beverage when you bought it, so hopefully it wouldn't be full of liquid. How about getting all of the eyes that you have around the arena for surveillance and find the idiots that did it. That is probably the reason they don't do it anymore, is because they can just pick the people out who would try something like that.
I can picture a scenario late in the season when someone is fighting it out in the pairwise with other teams and they are tied late in the third, that they may need to pull their goalie because 55% in overtime isn't going to cut it. You either have to win in regulation or bust. I also can see some teams being very conservative down the stretch just to get to overtime and that 55/45 split.
Let’s see, the person always crying about blue chippaz is wondering why a team that loses a large percentage of college hockey’s defections to the NHL is going to take some time to come together with 14 new players.
