Our PK was doing so good for a couple months there. Now it's just horrendous all of a sudden. Not good.

Yep. This is Fri CC and Sat DU all over again. Still two periods to right this one.

15-7 shots and 26-10 shot attempts both favoring UND. Gotta be better than down 2-1 with that.

Spoons in net. Finish this off!

We’ll see how ASU responds. I was fully expecting sweep last weekend too after how the boys played on Friday against DU. I expect a stronger effort from ASU tonight…but that said, if UND tightens up a little defensively, I think a sweep is in order.

Kind of hoping that UMD gets the split tonight against WMU. WMU has been hot and has two games in hand on us in the NCHC race.

Yes, continue to sign Powers and Motzko to as many extensions as possible, please.

I was wondering too...what did Powers say pre-game?

Agreed. Looked like he was more just pushing against his facemask. What about the missed head contact on UND earlier in the game? Goes both ways, Powers.

DU on the verge of playing themselves out of the tourney. Down to #13 now and SCSU up to #15. A few NCHC teams might be on the bubble come tourney selection time.

Benching a young skilled player after one mistake was the Berry way. I like that Dane is letting these young highly skilled guys continue to play and develop. Yes, they’ll make mistakes but this experience will pay dividends in future seasons. Laurila will be a stud as an upperclassmen.

Great to see Zellers get back in the goal scoring column after a bit of a dry spell.

Correct

The team just plays better in front of Jan, period. Homer has made some nice saves but is all over the place. Not the calming presence of Jan, that’s for sure.

Not the best period. And no more PK, huh?

He made a couple good saves early for sure.

Good first period. Started a little slow but took over.

That post shot looked in. I'm right behind the net.

Homer in. Jubs and Klee sitting.

I’d love to see it, but I doubt ASU is held to only one goal all weekend. Their PP is potent.

My thoughts as well. Homer has looked better his last few starts when compared to his early season. It's still Jan's net for the foreseeable future, but I can see Homer getting a start one of the games.

Homer returns to ASU wearing green this time: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/unds-gibson-homer-an-elite-learner-on-and-off-the-ice?fbclid=IwY2xjawPfxUBleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETFjajFONG1NWHNsdzhxUHhoc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHndIcqgbj3iGBafD2D0Flu23bnHcCIQSu5BERyFhsOstsn7ZBi5az2MB-GXF_aem_duzr8dIJbp4WFTcL_20HyA

Yeah Schloss mentioned that on his weekly podcast.

Potter is a loss for ASU for sure, but Schimek and Lucius are the two I fear more on ASU's roster. Those two on the PP is deadly. Similar to UMD's top line, if you can keep those two off the scoresheet, I like our chances.
