NORTH DAKOTA vs. Michigan State - FRIDAY Gameday ********
brianvf replied to AZSIOUX's topic in Men's Hockey
This is like UW last season all over again. -
Did UMN peak for the UND series?
-
Doesn't look like he quite has his dad's skillset. Last year with the Lancers in the USHL he had 6 goals and 14 points in 57 games as a 19 year old.
-
Wasn't there a time when they wanted to be called THE University of Minnesota Duluth, with emphasis on THE like Ohio State? That always made me chuckle.
-
To be fair, the B10 teams play on the ice and in the national tourney didn't exactly help your cause the last couple years.

NORTH DAKOTA @ St. Cloud State - SATURDAY Gameday ********

And the PK and PP both improved, that's huge! -

Didn't see that coming. Nice work boys! Johnson gets some confidence back, Gersich is a man possessed right now! -
Man, if they don't pick it up tonight, they'll never get through the season unbeaten!
-
You mean it's a decent jump in coaching from club to NCAA D1?
-
After great starts, both Maine and LSSU have tumbled lately.

Just need to get to Fargo! Then anything can happen. -
University of North Dakota Hockey 2016 - 2017 Season
brianvf replied to Frozen4sioux's topic in Men's Hockey
No doubt. You're looking at the potential WCHA champs right there. And if they keep having a good year, that sweep will be big for UND's PWR. -
I'm not clinging to what happened last year (other than the sweet Natty) and I don't dislike the B10. I merely stated that the combined OOC records since 13/14 may be more relevant that the 1.5 month span of this season for determining "strength" of league. And I agree that the sample size since 13/14 is small, but it's certainly a much larger sample size than just this year. Regardless, I was just curious...not looking to downplay what either league has done so far this year. Penn State has certainly started strong and looks to potentially challenge for the title this year.

NORTH DAKOTA vs. Denver - SATURDAY Gameday ********
brianvf replied to AZSIOUX's topic in Men's Hockey
Only thing I worry about with SCSU is that they usually have a very good PP. And UND has shown a tendency in this early season to struggle on the PK. That has me worried for next weekend. -
What are the OOC records for both the NCHC and the B10 since the realignment? That would be a better indication of which is the stronger league rather than comparing numbers for 1.5 months of the current season.

NORTH DAKOTA vs. Denver - FRIDAY Gameday ********

Is Gambrell back from injury for DU or is he still out? -
Brad's blog says that Tucker will play this weekend against DU.
-
It is strange. I can't believe that Tomek didn't play a game against Canisius or RPI. Now throwing him in without game action against DU or SCSU wouldn't be wise. Same with Rinks if he's really the backup over Tomek.
-
Take pride in diving instruction? Congrats! Speaking of obsessed, welcome to the UND board.
-
Tough series to call. With how the last two series have gone for UND, hoping for sweep but more than likely split? Just got to win a game to break out of the funk. And get Poolman back ok. And get Cam back to last season form or give Tomek a shot. And score PP goals. And not allow 17 PPG a weekend.

Cam has had better nights. Defensive coverage in our zone was horrendous. Our PP sucks almost as much as our PK. Other than that, there were a couple positives. Jost with his best game in a UND sweater. Good to see Boeser back on the score sheet after getting blanked at Duluth. And Poolman with a beauty of a move to get around the defender on his goal. Go get 'em tomorrow, boys. Did Tomek even make the trip? -
You know it! http://www.collegehockeystats.net/0607/boxes/mmicndk1.m24 5 for 8 on the PP and a SHG for good measure!
-
I loved that postgame with Berenson where he lit into the refs because UND got 8 PP (Michigan got 5). It wasn't the refs fault that UND scored on 5 of those 8 PPs!
