That first period last Fri was very good. Showed what this team is capable of doing, but for whatever reason can't do that often.

Brutal

Another nice kill. Need to actually string together some offense now.

They do have a whopping 2 sog thru 10min. On pace for 12 this game!! That's not gonna win many games.

Another UND penalty. Cmon boys.

Nice kill. Maybe build some momentum? Get some shots? Who knows.

I guess coming out ready to play wasn't on the agenda tonight.

Already too late. Remember back in the day when the business suits had an amazing record? Not sure if they've even got a .500 record the last few years.

Hobie in net + Business suits + pile of injuries = victory? We can hope so.

Him and Jammer swap shifts as needed. Sounds good to me.

Before last night, he was winning something crazy like 70% of his draws on the season. I think he’s played better offensively than last year so far, but that’s not saying much and it’s still early.

Schloss' article said that Berg got injured late in the Sat BU game, but that Komzak was injured during practice this week. He said Berg practiced this week but couldn't play.

Hope they can score early. They might not have much left in the tank at the end if they're running essentially 3 lines and 4-5 D most of the game.

For sure, too much time remaining before half.

Exhibition games, especially preseason, are usually for testing out lines, getting D-pairings set, trying out PP and PK groups in live game action, getting skaters and goalies that might not see much ice time some game action, etc. Which is exactly how Berry used it. There's no imagination needed to see any bigger picture. The team sure didn't look good against Augie, but there's no reason to dwell on a game that was played 4 days after the team's first official practice.

A split would sure make this weekend look a bit better. 4-3 sure feels a hell of a lot better than 3-4. Get it done boys. Guesses on lineup with all these injuries? OMac - Wilkie - Kunz James - Boisvert - Perron Swanson - Schmaltz - Strinden Andrew - Jammer - Littler Livanavage - MacDonald Jubenvill - Emery Monty - Wiebe Hobie That's every available skater that made the trip. The second line was our most effective last night, have to keep them together. Does Andrew get his first playing time at UND? I'd guess we'll be running three lines for most the night and that Jake/MacD/Emery/Wiebe get a boatload of ice time.

Exactly. The game doesn't count. We could have played the Russian National Team and lost 15-1 or we could have played the Hazen JV HS team and won 22-0. Either way, the game doesn't count.

For sure on both. My reasoning was just that if our record currently was 6-0 or 5-1 right now with a much easier schedule, it'd be sunshine and rainbows on here. We've played some great hockey against some really good teams...and we've also played some dog%^!@ hockey against some really good teams. If UND can enter the winter break at 13-6 (my guess looking at the schedule), then I think they set themselves up ok for both the PWR and the NCHC standings (not to win the league, but for sure home ice).

I show no loss to Augustana on the schedule.

We’re the only team in the league that has played a ranked team every week thus far. Flip our schedule with Denver’s and I bet both our and DUs record looks a bit different.

Somehow CC won an OT game without Laba scoring the GWG? It's crazy how dominant CC and UNO have been in 3x3 OT the last couple seasons.

https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/slow-start-dooms-und-in-loss-to-cornell Doesn't sound too promising. Boys need to dig deep for a gutsy win tomorrow.

They never are when UND plays them...we're their Stanley Cup Finals. Also saw that former UND recruit Randklev scored the lone goal.

Neither of them did. Wouldn't be surprised at all if both are out tomorrow.

Looks like Michigan had the same formula that we did. UND got the 5 goal 1st period. Michigan got the 5 goal 3rd period.
