Persson is one of the pieces that could help them go all the way, IMO, not a weakness.

winning that initial face off is so important, even moreso when you have tools like Blake and Gaber.

And shooting. They got no one who can shoot the puck.

Parents Weekend/Family Night, I think.

DU is so dam talented and well coached, they gotta win by at least 8 tonight.

We'll see some Blake-hunting tonight. He can make them pay.

The whole team changes as the game progresses, especially under some pressure. They all start out looking quick and skilled, but by game's end you can hear them grunting and see puddles of drool on the ice behind them. Especially Rizzo.

How long has it been since UND had so many who can snipe? Blake, Gaber, Perron, Berg, McLaughlin, Johannes . . .

It is. On the road against DU, you'd have thought he'd need to be stellar.

Denver has a goalie issue. Persson may have had an off night, but he was easily the best goalie on the ice.

They're missing Chrona.

Glad these boys don't fall apart as easily as a lot of us do.

Yup. My bad

Perron has the best one-timer since Oshie. Well, not counting all those one-timer goals called by Mr. Hammer

How would you suggest?

Lot of hockey to be played yet, both tonight and before March. Thats cliche’ but worth noting for this team

Those goals aren’t (all) on Persson

Too close to overturn that call, IMO

Incoming!!

They really ought to be willing to pay money not to have to play them.

I've been reading here how DU recruits much better than Berry & Co. and how their young coach can relate to young studs like Rizzo, so it wouldn't surprise me if DU wins by 8 or 9 both nights. In fact, I've asked my therapist to give me a double session on Tuesday and maybe an extra one later in the week. When your ability to be happy depends completely on Sioux hockey success, you have to be prepared for misery sometimes. Oh well.

To say nothing of best jerseys

Seems he is able to tell when the opposition is skilled and quick enough to make his dangling risky, something I wondered about as recently as this season

No doubt

I don’t expect any UND fan or player to be afraid of any team, but both those conferences appear to be every bit as good as the NCHC this year (which no Sioux fan worth their salt would agree with, of course).
