I’m not faulting Smith for the hit on Plant from the series in Denver. That should never have been a penalty let alone a 5. That was more Plant running into Smith more than anything. Last nights hit though, I’m fine with the 5 and a game suspension for that. That’s going by the book as it should be called.

I think he was more saying that UMD could pass SCSU, preventing UND from traveling to Duluth for first round. UMD is on a roll, they could definitely pass both WMU and SCSU.

I think I've watched 5-6 DU games on TV this year. I'm pretty sure that Plant has gotten injured (to the point of having to leave the game) in every single game I've watched. Is that possible? If he's having that many issues, Monty needs to keep him out of the lineup until he's actually fully recovered.

Tonight's lineup screams SWEEP!!! For DU.

The goal should be to just take no penalties. After watching the PK vs UMD, that might be our only option.

We should have Simonson fight Borgstrom then. Agreed on Thome. If he's healthy this weekend, I wouldn't mind seeing him on Friday night.

What would that statement be? That we can't compete with skill on the ice, so we'll just have a player get suspended instead?

If UND gets a single point next weekend, I'd call it a success after the results this weekend.

UMD ENG

UMD PPG Sweet.

Going out on a limb here...UND will not score on the PP to start the period.

There's a good chance we face them in the 1st round of the NCHC. If we want to keep the WCHA/NCHC postseason streak alive, we'd be forced to beat them there.

Another UMD PP

Gersich and Pogs

Time for another UMD PPG. UND penalty

At least DU doesn't have that many talented players, so next weekend should get easier for the PK units.

Seriously. How much can our PK suck? They need to completely re-evaluate both the PP and the PK.

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.
