Strinden needs to chill out a bit if that's the case. Or get sat a game for Klee if needed?

With Clarkson's horrible start, these are a couple of must win games for UND. Need to go out there and take care of business, plain and simple. -Need to get the PP back on track. -Would like to see a couple of the guys get on the scoresheet and pick up their confidence...guys like Josephson, Menghini, Kernan, etc. -Rebound games for Liver and Homer...both struggled a little on Sat. Any chance we see Spunar in one of these games? Beat the teams you're supposed to beat. Go Sioux!

Game winning OT goal plus he uses a bubble? Sounds like the perfect UND player.

UND should take notes from SCSU on PP...the Huskies once again have a dominant PP. All four of their goals were scored on the PP in a 4-0 win over Vermont. Also:

Dang what a turnaround from their 11-2 win yesterday for UST.

Current NPI if season ended today. Miami and UNO both #1 seeds.

Ended 31-28 UND

RIT just crushed Clarkson 6-2 for their first win of the season. Clarkson off to a 1-3 start. Need to take care of business out there in both games to avoid a NPI killing.

These three points. You score on 1 or 2 of those PP chances earlier in the game and this game looks entirely different. Homer will want back both those 2 goals. And unfortunately those goals changed the entire game. Work on that PP hard for Clarkson. I still think this UND team is more talented and will go further this season than UMN.

Like clockwork.

It’s a young offense. Gonna take time to develop. They’ll get there.

You didn't say anything the last 3 games when the guys were putting up 6, 5, and 5 goals.

Two posts as well. Man, if our PP could do anything, we'd be in business.

This isn't ticky-tacky penalties, these are just stupid. Quit the undisciplined crap and stop giving them PP chances.

I'd take another Panzer.

Just like last night, UMN scores on their first sog.

UMN starting a different goalie tonight.

This x1000. We’ve seen countless times a complete reversal on game results in a two game series. I’d say it was pretty darn common during the Berry years. We’ll see tonight if things are different with Dane in charge. I’m mainly looking for complete effort again…it’s so early in the season that I wouldn’t be too upset with a loss as long as the team looked like they competed hard and played well. That said - sweep those Gophers!

How did Kermit get returned? Brought back on a road trip, post office, held ransom for six Red Pepper grinders, etc?

Michigan teams of late haven't exactly been known to be strong defensively (there's a reason why Perron transferred there )...once they start actually playing tough teams I think they'll be exposed a bit more. Next week when they play WMU will be a much better barometer of how good they are this year. Same thing with Duluth. UMD's top line has been lights out so far, but UMD's schedule has been anything but difficult. The next two weekends with Duluth will be much different, traveling to both UMN and UND. I'm interested to see how UMD and UND match up in the NCHC opener...with us having last line change, pairing up our best defensive group against their Plante line will be key. If you shut that line down, you're good I'm guessing. Our depth should hopefully be a big benefit.

Agreed. It wasn't horrible. Ice looked a bit iffy with all the bouncy pucks and whiffs. Rickwood quietly leads the team in points right now. Just an excellent overall portal grab.
