Another UMD PPG 3-2 Dogs

UMD PPG

The marbles have shifted. 3 straight PP for UMD, including giving them 2x 5x3 chances.

At this point, we're hoping that they show up once this weekend.

Who do you think really steps up next year to provide scoring for this team? No one has been consistent this year, and then you take away Wolanin, Pogo, and Gersich from that equation. Not to mention our starting goalie.

Yeah that's my logic too for next season. Four important players..some of which aren't producing as much as hoped this year...but still good players that will have to be replaced with freshmen.

I think next years team takes a step back compared to this year and then is better the following year.

To be fair, it’s probably a safe bet that UND would split in a series against ASU this year.

This teams issues to me seem to be lack of consistent scoring, horrible PP & PK, and lack of upperclassmen production. Don't get me started on the special teams. They’ve been an Achilles heel of UND teams for years. Even with much more talent than this team they’ve struggled, so it’s not surprising to see them be horrible this year. Poganski and Gersich need to consistently be the best players on the ice each game. And that just hasn’t happened.

Adams was one of the better frosh forwards early in the season IMO. Wonder what happened that he's sitting so much lately.

Truth. UND didn’t even nominate Duncan for the award in the year he won it.

4 weeks? Ouch, that hurts. He was winning a lot of faceoffs too.

Latest Bracketology: http://www.ncaa.com/news/icehockey-men/article/2018-01-10/mens-hockey-bracketology-sizing-field-second-half-gets Still has SCSU in UND's regional with a potential 1st round matchup against UMN. That East regional is a cakewalk.

I’m more than happy that the team proved me wrong last night, but I’m still skeptical about this teams ability to score 3+ goals a game consistently. Just when I think they’ve found their game, they lay a stinker like the Friday game. If they go out next weekend and play two solid games against BSU, that’ll be a great start!

Oh crap, forgot. My apologies Wilbur.

It's a completely different team. One of the teams could win the title. The other could lose to Sacred Heart.

This UND has a hard time scoring 2-3 goals a game, let alone blowing someone out. If they win tonight, it’ll be by 1 or 2 goals at most.

Looking at the team save percentage stats before the game, it appears that roles were reversed tonight. Horrible effort and goaltending. Tomorrow is a must win. Can’t get swept by last place team at home and expect much from your season.

Tambellini

We're lucky that DU doesn't host any post-season games after the first round. They won't get all the calls once away from Magness arena.

How many goals against Woll this tourney went high glove side? I'm guessing 3/4 of his goals against went high glove. Why keep playing a goaltender that has such a glaring weakness that opposing players have obviously keyed in on it?

Saw that too. Homerism officiating going on for DU evidently.

This. Not even local interest, but also worldwide too. I have no doubt in my mind that if the REA hosted the WJC tourney again that attendance would be closer to last time they hosted it rather than the U18 attendance.

And then it was funny when they would quote each other and have conversations together.

Yeah, that was a fantastic dive. Not sure that Gardner even touched him.
