Swanson with a great start to his World Jr A Challenge tourney...3 assists, all primary against Slovakia today. James Reeder got the goals on all three assists...a DU commit...let's get Berry to have him swap his commitment, as those two obviously have chemistry already.

And now, back to your regular doom & gloom following the CC series.

Wow, the BC player only got a one game suspension for this??

Somehow still 2nd in the NCHC after that disaster of a weekend. 4 pts behind 1st place SCSU and 4 pts ahead of WMU. All teams have played 8 games. 5th in the PWR.

If we lose the Penrose by a handful of points, we can look back at this weekend and say “what if?”. Not a good weekend of hockey for UND. All the elite forwards were non-existent…makes it tough to win games. The good news is that it is only December. And they have a few weeks off to stew on the missed opportunities of the last three games.

Don't see this too often, fortunately. Midseason departure for UW it seems. Soph dman Tyson Jugnauth looks to be leaving for the WHL. It's not like he wasn't getting playing time for UW.

We don’t speak of Canisius.

Spoiler alert...more xG notes incoming. https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/can-the-und-hockey-team-keep-up-its-current-pace

Berg named NCHC Forward of the Week: https://fightinghawks.com/news/2023/12/4/mens-hockey-cameron-berg-named-nchc-forward-of-the-week.aspx Congrats!

How dare you bring up xG after last year!!!

That sounds like the Tigers of last year. Great D and goaltending but lack of scoring.

https://teamusa.usahockey.com/2024wjcroster I know he's an underager, but shocked that Eiserman didn't make the cut. Hagens is there.

A sweep would be great...but CC is a quality team that could certainly take a game if UND is not playing as well as they can. If UND plays up to their potential, I see a sweep heading into their break. Let's keep that #1 in the PWR rolling...

Agreed. I heard them talking about that and cringed as well. Not a good look for their broadcast team.

Yes

UND is #6 in the country at 2.2 ga/g.

After the big DU weekend.... Every team in the NCHC has now played 6 league games. UND is in 2nd place, 2 pts behind SCSU and 5 pts ahead of DU. More importantly, they stay at #1 in the PWR even with the OT loss. They were #6 entering the weekend, so a very nice bump up there.

Sucks to miss out on the sweep, but 4pts in the NCHC race. Still think that UND is the better team.

This is like yesterday at the end of the game. Except opposite.

Keep going glove side on this DU goalie. They've proven this weekend that it is suspect. And DU again going to the sticks-up cele. Weak.

Probably an improvement at times.

It didn't look like he was alone in doing dumb crap at the end there, but look like the refs elected to only call the man in green.
