BSU is never a good matchup for us with how they clog things up. Even more so this year when our breakouts are horrible and our defensive zone coverage is non-existent at times. Not to mention our team save % is one of the absolute worst in the nation. I'm hopeful that we can get one win out of the weekend. I'd like to be more optimistic, but this UND team is so damn inconsistent. In some games, they look like they could be top 10 title contenders...Friday night QU/UNO/Miami come to mind. But then the very next game in all three of those series, they looked like a completely different team.

Also...closed door team meeting seemed to have happened after this game. It's made a comeback:

yeah, that's not happening, unfortunately. We were supposed to sweep this weekend against a "bottom-feeder" to get the confidence to go on a run.

That'll work about 85% of the time with our goalies.

I wouldn't. He's a talented player, for sure. He, along with the whole team, needs to get out of this funk. They're way more talented than what we've seen thus far.

Moore is out injured so half of that is already taken care of for you.

Dropped down to #28 in PWR. That honestly sounds about right from what I've seen.

Final sog 36-16. UND held Miami to 6 total shots on goal in the final 40 min of the game. Unfortunately, 2 of those 6 shots went in.

Bye bye PWR. Bye bye any remaining NCAA tourney hopes. Miami will be lucky to win 4-5 NCHC league games all season. We just handed them one on our home ice. That's just downright embarrassing after how badly we throttled them last night.

Bets on the BSU series? Can we at least get a split?

I mean, Miami has 4 goals on 16 shots. You hold a team to 16sog, you should be able to win that game 99% of the time.

Or what has been more the case this year...the opposing team gets to face a "cold goalie". Our save % being nearing the absolute bottom of the NCAA is showing a big weakness of ours right now.

Not their usual

Wow, Blake with a few good chances that shift.

He mentioned something about our goalies facing less shots. He must not have seen the UMN or DU series where we were outshot pretty handily.

3-2 Miami after 2 Miami still has PP to start 3rd

Cmon Senden. WTF.

No stupid penalties.

How huge has Hain been this year? UND needs to keep this pressure up.

PPG streak continues. Looks like Jandric gets an assist too to keep his run going.

For sure. Completely agree. Just so damn inconsistent.

Gaber. 3-1

Seems to be working ok for other teams and not affecting chemistry. Whatever is going on with this team this year I don't think has much to do with the portal.

One of the portal guys is our leading scorer.
