Actually I would like to see a lot more chips of the glass than they have been doing so far this season. Granted I am probably talking about a different kind of "chip of the glass" than the kind your are talking about here. None the less, I just wanted to mention it The 2011 team made a living off the little bank-shot passes through the neutral zone and into the zone. I would really like to see more of that this year.
I think you're right--not the best choice of words. I'm talking about their repeated attempts to chip it up to a covered winger who is stationary along the boards.

Tamellini's penalty was stupid too. Chicken !@#$ little crosschecks from behind are not physical hockey--just dumbazz hockey.
-
Rodwell can sit for that dumb ass penalty
Hak should sit him. Idiot

FARGO (this one may end the night early for ya:)
KOBER
ONE TIMER
SANDELIN
ONLY A FRESHMAN
MISLEADING
Bonus word = END ZONE , yes he dropped this last night. It's worth 3 drinks tonight
Please be responsible...go sioux
Last year the Sioux took ten or twenty one-timers a game. Someone must have told Hammer, cause they're not taking as many this year. Pretty unbelievable when your play-by-play guy doesn't know what a one-timer is.

Anyone else having webcast issues?
Yes. "Connection Error"

If you told me at the beginning of the season that Stecher would be getting more time than Thompson I don't think I would have believed you. But I think at the time those are the six guys that have to go.
Stecher is the pleasant surprise of the year so far.
-
You mean 3...he was even better Sunday vs UNO than last night.
You're right. Even more reason.
-
I was impressed with Duluth defensively. Blocked a ton of shots, and just played physical and gritty and didn't give UND much opportunity to get pucks to the net.
Does UND stay with the hot hand in net or go back to Zane? Tough call.
Stay with Saunders--see if he can put together two solid games.
-
Take always from being at the Ralph last night...
UND gets zero momentum with speed heading into the O zone. Terrible transition from D zone thru neutral zone.
I know it's early, but I don't think this team can go deep into NCAAs playing a chip-it-off-the-glass breakout. They have too much quickness and not enough muscle for that scheme. I suppose Hak is just training them to take care of the puck and keep it on the perimeter and will open things up after they have learned those habits, but they will have to utilize the middle of the ice and make their passing decisions quicker to beat good teams.
-
Hak for president!
Can he run a website
-
Stecher really looks like a find. Game after game.
-
Man our breakout is just brutal
The D are trained to pass to stationary points, not to spaces.
I'll be the first to admit I don't know shat about what works in the college game, but it sure looks that way.

Let's see some projectile vomiting in those scrums.

Who's behind the bench for the Sioux this weekend?
-
They lost a lot apparently when they dumped Eades to go with Berry.

PKane also was on his second 70 pt NHL season at the same age Rocco is now...sorta doesn't need to hit...
sorta made a good point there . . .
-
~I liked the ticked off physical Rocco. Almost took a five. But nice to see him play with an edge and be noticed other than the score sheet.
Grimaldi is a team player, so he will give it everything, but I think he is also aware that he has to show he can handle the physical game for the next level. Can't say P Kane hits much, but Rocco knows he has to prove he can't be pushed aside.
-
The bleeding has been stopped. Now it's time to sew the wound shut.
This team still has a long ways to go. But they have faced some very good teams the last 3 weeks, and that will help.

Just as soon be a man short when their goalie is pulled.
-
I think they just pissed down their leg.

Watching this game makes me wonder how it would look if we played BC.
And another thing I think of watching this team is how lucky we were to have Ryan Duncan and how he could bury the puck when he got a look.

Grimaldi playing well tonight at least
-
Man, what a downer. I guess we have no reason to watch for the next couple years. Too bad.
What are your thoughts on the following year? Hopefully we can tune back in that year.

By that time, yzer will be a gopher fan.

Easily the least physical UND team I've ever seen. I've yet to see Sioux hockey this season.
I don't miss physicality, but they're wasting speed they have. Seems like they are always passing to a stationary target.
NORTH DAKOTA vs. DULUTH - Saturday

We can't--UMD knows exactly where we will be passing to, and they are a step ahead. We, on the other hand, are reacting. Their flow uses all areas of the ice, we don't or can't
