36-18 now but still losing 2-1.

This. Get the win in regulation tomorrow and this weekend is a success. Start Spunar. Tell the dmen to defend. Tell the forwards to shoot when given a chance.

Your love affair with Sandy is never ending. Although you were largely quiet over the last 8 UND/UMD games when UND beat them.

I haven't heard what tomorrow's attendance will be yet. TBD.

Guessing Halloween is the main culprit on that one.

0-1 after 1. UND with 1min left of PP time to start 2nd.

Those Hakstol years must have been brutal for you during the 1st halves of those seasons.

Probably unfair to ask your goalie to stop too many 3 on 1 SH rushes.

PP

If that called that penalty on Klee, there's a couple they could have called on that UND sustained pressure too.

PK Pretty questionable call IMO

Baby steps.

Mich up 1-0 on ND Miami and ASU tied at 1 MTU already up 2-0 on Clarkson in the 1st.

PSU and OSU tied at 2 after one. UM and ND still scoreless, but UM going on a 5min PP.

I feel like that strategy has been employed long before TJ joined the team. Hopefully Dane is just attempting to start a goalie tandem approach. If we see Spunar tomorrow, regardless of Homer's result tonight...that would possibly indicate that.

Dang, that's some changes. Kernan goes from sitting in the stands to the 1st line. Strathmann and Littler sitting. Homer starting. Spunar tomorrow regardless of result tonight? That 2nd line needs to score and those 3rd/4th lines need to shut down the opponent...and maybe pop a goal or two.

Schloss Preview: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/preview-how-special-teams-have-dictated-games-for-und-minnesota-duluth We'll see how UND does against UMD's aggressive PK. If our passing is off, could make for some brutal PP's to watch. His prediction: My prediction...if we hold UMD to only 4 goals total, we sweep. That said, I don't think we hold UMD to only 4 goals.

https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/und-entering-weekend-on-eight-game-winning-streak-against-minnesota-duluth Some pretty crazy winning streaks as of late in this series: On Menghini playing his old team: Also a mention of who will start in net tomorrow...Dane didn't give any hints but it'd be hard to go against Spunar after he pitched a shutout last game.

Especially if that news was correct that some CHL prospects reached out to him but he turned them away. The other top B10 teams all added multiple absolute stud CHL guys and other than Mooney, there's not a ton of high-end skill on MN's current FR group.

UW beats UMN 5-2 and outshoots them 43-16. Gonna be a long season for the Gophers...their Sat night win against us might end up being the highlight of their season.

It would be if they hold him out for the rest of the season (less than 30% of games played). I imagine that if recovery goes ok and he can play by end of Dec/Jan, that they'll get him back in the lineup.

Northeastern with their 2nd big win in a row, beating BC 4-1. Both of their wins against DU and BC they got outshot by a ton but still came away with the win. BC now 2-3-1 on the season.

Yes for sure. I don't imagine we'll have much trouble with Mercyhurst, even if we're missing some WJC guys. But BSU has given us issues lately...all those darn trap teams.

It'll be fun watching MSU steamroll PSU next week. After playing almost all cupcakes for the season, they won't be ready to play a team of MSU's caliber.

Dang. Last drill of practice too. That's really too bad, he's been very consistent...all you can ask of a FR. https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/und-forward-josh-zakreski-out-longterm-with-lower-body-injury Heal up quickly and fully, Josh!
