UND kills it, but SCSU had quite a few good chances.

Geez they get a ton of chances right away. Their PP already looks way better than ours after 20sec.

Let's see this new revamped PK against the vaunted SCSU PP.

Agreed.

Working the CBS Sports game. He's only doing that for a few months or something like that.

This season, Portz -5, Ness -2, Albrecht -4.

That's the problem, there's no better options. Not a lot of scoring depth on this team, unfortunately.

Man, that 4th line isn't scaring anybody...one career goal between the three of them in 89 games?

As they should be. They scored 19 goals last weekend alone. UND has scored five goals all month.

Crossing fingers.

SCSU 5 UND 2 SCSU with 3 of their goals on the PP. Honestly, this is not a good matchup for UND, and made especially worse coming at a time when UND is not playing its best hockey. They've shown that they can beat the top teams this season, but the last few games have been rough to watch.

That'd be great to see them do that. Even though nothing will be done.

ASU will take him...just a hunch.

https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/und-set-to-take-on-college-hockeys-most-efficient-power-play-on-record With how poorly UND's special teams has been lately...and how prone they are to taking stupid penalties, this could end up being a disaster. This is interesting:

And Pearson was adamant that he and the team had wanted to play the games all along. But now it comes out that he was the one that wanted them cancelled from the beginning. Geez

This was posted around the interwebs. Coming up on the 40 year anniversary of the water bottle game with UW. The box score from that game. UW scored two SHG in the 2nd period on back to back penalties. And then the mayhem in the 3rd.

Geez, the kid is barely halfway thru his freshman season, and he's already been written off? Let's see how he's doing another 1-2 years from now.

I'd be very surprised if we take 3 of 4 from Omaha. I'd love to see it, though. We'll see if Hellsten is in net on Friday night. Something tells me that the coaches will go back to Driscoll again.

#13 in the PWR now. Man, two crappy weekends back to back and they fall from #4 to #13. They're TP & the HB "free fallin'" right now.

I'm not really liking our chances against SCSU this upcoming weekend. If we get swept again, how far back do they have to look to find when we were last swept on three consecutive weekends?

Ouch.

Yeah I get your point for sure. To be fair to guys like Calder and Ford, those two had tied for the NCAA lead in goals last year. We need those two and Gaber to be putting the puck in the net a heck of a lot more. But right now no one is for this team. Berry needs to be doing a full-court press to land Logan Cooley right now for next season. That'd be a huge stepping stone to get some "blue chippah" forward talent & depth on the roster moving forward.

I think we showed that this weekend.
