Looks like another solid pickup for the defense.

https://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2021/11/09_Team-of-the-Week-Massachusetts.php Morrow could have definitely added another offensive spark to our current d-corps. If it's true we brought in Johnson instead of Morrow, UMass appears to have the upper hand on that "trade" thus far (Johnson has only dressed in half UND's games). Although Morrow might end up only being a 1-2 year college player, so Johnson definitely has some time to fulfill expectations as well, as he'll more than likely be a 3-4 year player.

Haha for sure. Roller coaster of expectations reading this forum after the Nashville weekend compared to the DU weekend.

To hold Savoie, Guttman, and Brink to zero points all weekend was huge, and a massive reason for them getting the two wins. Impressive defensive turnaround after a less than stellar performance against PSU. Huge couple games from Driscoll in net too!

Huge 3pts to start the NCHC conference play against a very good DU team. Still some defensive lapses but Driscoll played very very well. Hopefully Ford is ok and can play tomorrow.

The NCHC schedule is already proving tougher for UNO than their weak OOC schedule.

And another penalty.

And then give them a PP to start the 3rd. UND needs to play smarter.

Not the best play to end the period.

DU with a dominant shift, Driscoll with a monster save.

Now THAT'S a Sioux goal.

That makes last weekend's Nashville result look pretty bad.

I like that they split up Ford and Calder...thought by now those two would have produced playing together, but not yet. We need a much stronger defensive effort in order to win. They'll have their hands full with DU's top line, for sure. Not sure they'll be able to contain them with how they've played defensively thus far.

He was from Saint Louis Park in MN. A converted Gopher fan after he attended UND for aviation.

Agreed on USCHO...I only visit the forums section on there like once a year or so. Mike Flaherty was MinnesotaNorthStar's name.

Yeah, that's a rough one. I heard the news yesterday and was going to post something as well. He had some heart issues last year and unfortunately he didn't come back from this heart episode. I took many hockey road trips with him...multiple UMD trips, St Louis F4, multiple Final 5, etc. I unfortunately hadn't spoken to him for quite a few years other than a few posts on FB, but I will always remember him as a kind, funny guy and a great fellow Sioux fan. RIP MNS.

I'd love to see a split or better. But something tells me unless they really shore up defense and goaltending woes, DU's top line is gonna have a big weekend. Hopefully Sanderson and Co can shut them down (or at least keep them mostly contained).

BSU is 3-1 since they played UND. QU is 2-0-1 since they played UND. PSU is now 6-1. Both BSU and QU will do well in their respective leagues. Getting to OT in game 2 against BSU and getting the split against QU will be boosts to the PWR if UND can win enough games to make it into the tourney.

Four goals should be able to win 90% of games. This team needs to be better defensively and in goal.

Need to tie this up rather than let them extend it to a 2g lead again. That'd be nice.

No one travels like UND hockey fans! keep the stories coming guys!

No doubt. I’m just saying that their record is going to be inflated this year due to their weak OOC schedule. Their remaining OOC opponents don’t get any better either.

Good to see Omaha keeps managing to win their super tough OOC games. Another big battle tomorrow sees them going for the sweep over powerhouse rival LIU! Their opponents so far this season have a combined 8-17-2 record. It'll be interesting to see how they fare once they have to start playing tougher NCHC games.

Heck of a comeback.

Colgate going for the upset
