UND should go after Sam Dickinson. First round pick of the Sharks. Already won a championship won the London Knights. Doing well this year. Kid should play college hockey for 1-2 years next to refine his game against older competition.

Poor penalties at the end and gave up some goals on TJ. Not his fault but it seems like he’s giving up ~ 3 goals/game. That is just not good enough.

Hobie in net tomorrow. Keep rotating goalies in the first half.

Give the coaches credit, given their personal availability, they have the lines + chemistry correct I would say.

Duluth team looks small and not as physical as Duluth teams in the past.

He’s only played in one game so far this year? Geezus christmas. It’s November, he’s not playing this weekend and bringing him back in against a rival in the Denver series could be a challenge. Ugh, bring him back in 2nd half and bring a D in at semester time too. People mock how UND keeps bringing in a goalie in the transfer, but looking at how many D UND has brought in from the portal from Ty Farmer to Jandric and onward… Seems like we have a D-recruiting and measuring talent issue.

Overrated/hype recruit that couldn’t handle the USHL. We’ll see where he goes.

0 goals in 7 games for Owen McLaughlin doesn’t help, especially when Jackson Blake moved on. Need this player in double digit goals. Why do UND’s players seem to put up less points than their peers in college hockey coming in from good USHL seasons? I understand UND preaches and teaches a two way game, but this has been concerning for a decade now

The schedule was not what any team would want. At best, team was looking at a split this weekend. Injuries and poor play and goaltending. Could be a long winter.

.500 by Thanksgiving is what they’re looking at.

Got the Maine/Merrimack game on. Night and day on the quality of stream on ESPN+

Not impressed with TJ at all this year

UND needs to get some players in the top 50 - https://www.collegehockeynews.com/stats/overall.php Annually, UND has one of the toughest schedules in the county, but it'd be nice to have a few guys high up in the scoring stats. Jackson Blake did well last year, but I feel like with the talent UND has had since 2005, they haven't had guys dominate scoring stats as much as they should given their skill. Brock (did) Oshie, Toews, Pinto, Gregoire (did decent) Kristo (did alright) Ducan etc. BC, BU, Michigan, Denver continue has players pop off.

I think for the BCHL league there has been not…

I saw the play. Vaughn was scrambling and then had a UND player wide open who dropped a layup pass. Yes, Vaughn was scrambling and it wasn’t probably the best play to start with, but how do you drop that light pass?

UND should have played Hobie. I stand by it. Rotate 2 goalies until later in the year.

Think they beat Minnesota at home during covid on the Saturday night after getting stomped by the Gophers on Friday night.

Shelve the Nodak jerseys. Their record is not good in them. Would have been a big win tonight. Shoot.

Lot of the offense was generated from Blake evidently. This team will be a work in progress.

Gotta get Hobie in tomorrow.

If Hobie is healthy, does he get a game in this weekend? I sure hope so. I’d like to see a 2 goalie rotation until February.

Recruiting just isn’t getting it done. Arizona will be tough recruiting competition in the NCHC.

Sloppy play. Lot’s of improvement needed with a tough schedule coming up. Doesn’t matter what the team looks like on a paper, they did not look good and played soft on pucks. Team is really going to miss the play making skill of Blake and the grit and juice from Joahannes. It’s early, starts with leadership. Jammer has some work to do

Too easy for the Bison in the first half.

This team better perform come April because they’ll lose a lot next year and the following recruiting class isn’t as talented or deep. Not being a debbie downer, just stating reality.
