Perfect timing, right?

I think even the officials know that we're not gonna score on our PP.

They're not gonna call a penalty on BU until they have at least 2-4 penalties called on UND...that's a given.

Juggled the lines, as we hoped. Moved Johannes up and Schmaltz moves from 2nd line winger to 3rd line center.

Crazy. They got to end this losing streak to BU tonight.

I think switching James with Schmaltz makes great sense. Schmaltz would do well on a line with Johannes/Jammer and put James up with a couple skilled offensive players and I think that line could take off.

PP is somewhere on a milk carton. We have more offensive skill than last year...there's no reason why all these highly skilled players can't bury some PP goals.

Nothing from Gaber or Perron or OMac tonight? The big boys need to score in the big games.

Man, need the split. UND was the better team tonight...you can't win them all, but we need a win tomorrow to give us a boost for PWR.

SOG 29-18...if not for the 2 PPG for BU this would be a different game...or if UND could score on a PP.

Penalties 4-1 but UND is still outshooting and outchancing them. Need to bury some of these and stop with the penalties...

What happened to Tech? Weren't they supposed to be one of the better teams in their league? Haven't won a game yet...ouch.

Those east coast studs have to play somewhere. It's either BC or BU for 95% of them, it seems.

Yes we won the Beanpot that year.

Dang. Time to get that monkey off their back.

Good article on how Perron ended up at UND: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/how-jayden-perron-ended-up-at-und This doesn't surprise me:

That's not true. We all wanted Cooley...we all wanted Mooney...we all wanted Fantilli (who knew that we were that close to landing all three). Some of them are toss-ups though. We might not get one player, but we get another that is just as desirable as a college hockey prospect.

Plus, we've been discussing and guessing that those two players were no longer commits for a few months now.

Solid couple days for the Goofs landing Pahlsson and Gruba from the USHL. Still a relatively quiet recruiting cycle for them.

It certainly looks odd how his leg came up so high. Former UND player Westin Michaud was actually playing in this game and addresses it:
