On the plus side, our PK is tops in the nation! Oh wait, I was looking at that upside down, it’s actually last. Oops.

The team looked better offensively than during the BSU/Manitoba game, so at least there's that positive. It's great that they're limiting shots for the other team, but doesn't help if the goalies have a .600 save % and the d-corps gives the opposing team grade A chances. I would love to see a win tonight, but I'm guessing still another few weeks before this team hits its stride.

6-4 now Unfortunately UND can't keep the pressure on to bring this back.

MSUM has 6 goals on 14 shots? C'mon. This game is on the goalies.

Geez this team sucks. Only halfway thru the game. If MSUM keeps pushing they could hang 12 on UND.

UND Goal 4-3

I'm not sure if this team can score 5 in a game? Can they?

He's a senior, due time was awhile ago.

End of 1 2-2

Yon now. 2-1 UND race horse hockey to start

Geez, seriously exactly like last year. They score a goal then immediately give it right back up. Can never build on a lead. Frustrating.

11 goals this weekend? I'm hoping UND hits 11 goals for the season by game 9!

I think I'd be fine with taking a couple years off from having BSU on the schedule. Regardless of the sweet loss & tie this weekend, I remember a couple real snooze-fests like Saturday night over the last couple of years. Let's mix it up a bit. Unfortunately they're already on the schedule for next year too according to Brad's blog.

5 goals in 3 games including the exhibition. Not looking good for offense this season. Might be a long year...

At least it wasn't a tie.

Who is this Spiewak kid, and how did he manage to score on Ryan "Un-score-on-able" Miller?

Haha! It was sweet justice watching Spiewak score a minute into that game in 2001. The entire pregame had been about how dominant and amazing Ryan Miller was in goal. Then 2 shifts into the game and Spiewak pots one. And Karl quietly pitches a shutout on the other end.

I'm sure those Panzer kids were getting handed phantom assists left and right on the scorecard.

If we don't get Panzer, I would imagine he'll go to UNO and have an excellent 4yr career. Seems to be the norm.

You guys have been around long enough to know that burd is known for his use of sarcasm in his posts.

That 2020 class looks insanely good at this stage.

Yes. Very small. About half the size for seating as a normal Midwest HS rink. If I remember correctly, Oceanside is less than 800 seats. Unless they're playing the CC series at Gila?

The Eagle was only 4'9". True story.

I can't imagine that it was expected being that they had already named him captain for the upcoming season.

DU loses one a little late in the game: https://www.nhl.com/avalanche/news/avalanche-signs-logan-oconnor/c-299558850 He would have been their captain this upcoming season and he's the 5th DU player to sign early this offseason.
