The sad part looking at the top 25 or so, is the two UND players on the list are the only ones with a negative plus/minus.

I don't care how they get there, but I think everyone can agree, we just need to get there. NDSU has been able to navigate the Summit quite nicely in men's basketball, so we just need to start finding a few diamonds in the rough to flip the scenario and give UND the ability to get more of the regions best players.

Would say more than anything we need to keep the puck out of our net. We need to be better five on five, but the goals per game is enough to win a lot if we tighten up defensively and in goal.

Yes, and the positive is that now the NCHC has 4 teams in the top 15, so there will be opportunities to move up the rest of the regular season and playoffs. We play 3 of those for sure, but it has now become put up, or shut up. Time for talk has long since passed.

Can someone pull up the Loheit hit against St. Cloud tonight?

Just getting that game to overtime against Duluth last weekend would have been nice.

Yes, we took care of business against a team we should beat, so from here on out they need a bunch of signature wins.

Just curious, was he out there with the rest of the number one unit, or was he out there to reward him a chance at the hat trick?

We just need to take care of our own business and hope the other teams above us beat each other up.

Yes, the other conference games sure aren’t going our way.

So the league is a total joke, Loheit launched himself at the St. Cloud player and looked like a vicious hit high, but a two minute penalty. If no league suspension comes it proves the league is a joke.

…and Western is up to 8 in pairwise. Where are we if we win that game?

They said he didn’t challenge it. The refs must have decided that, which left Berry the opportunity to challenge the kicking without getting a penalty with a wrong challenge. One thing is crystal clear, they need to fix the challenge situation after this year. It is way too much, and coaches abuse it because sometimes they have nothing to lose.

Let’s not forget the late hit on Schmaltz that put him out of the game.

After what happened at the end, if UND comes out soft and uninspired tomorrow, then I would say there isn’t a lot to look forward to the rest of the year. Take control from the opening faceoff and leave no doubt!

…and the same gopher fans that decry UND because of their perception that fights only happen when they are involved, go nuts and are cheering wildly for the fights! Hmmm.

You know it’s political when guys that haven’t shown up on this site since Covid start coming out of the woodwork.

Of course, the time to get out is when the decline has started!

Well, not what I was expecting with Komzak, but then again he didn't say a great one committed. Hopefully we get someone who does whatever is needed to help the team win. Maybe we need a few more of those guys that know what is expected of them and they do it.

I know Omaha is bad, but I found it odd that he is -23 and the next closest defenseman is -7. Since, most of the time you are going to have the same partner, I thought maybe there was a misprint or something.

Yeah, he really found it, and it looks like the confidence carried over. I see he committed to Western back in February 2019, so it obviously paid off for them waiting.

It doesn't appear others are even close to that negative, so makes you wonder if it is a misprint, or if he has some compromising pictures of the coaches.

Would have been nice to get an overage guy last year from the AJHL -- McCallister!

No, but that is my point. Bringing Senden and Hain back wasn’t a bad decision either when you look at what they do for the squad.

Let’s not forget, the reason we lost last night was due to a turnover by a guy that people are desperate to get back as a fifth year guy. No doubt if we get him back, and we struggle, people will wonder why they brought back a fifth year guy who was negative in plus/minus.
