3-3 WMU/ASU tied

4-2 win! Might be the best game that Wilkie has played in a UND sweater. 1g/2a and a couple nice backchecks to break up UMD chances. Nice win boys. Keep it rolling.

Right. Another meltdown or can they pull it out in regulation?

3-2 after 2 UND with a couple chances late.

The first one def looked like TJ was looking for the call. That one looked like he ran into him with more purpose. Good to see Sacha finally get #10 on the year. Big PP

ASU with 2 quick ones. 2-0 ASU up on WMU

It's just been that type of year.

A SR season could help him figure that out.

I’m just glad he’s in the lineup at all. Limit his minutes if he’s not 100% and then use him on the PP?

Sanderson represented well tonight at least. Wish they would have mentioned he was from UND after his goal though.

Yost is a dump and no free car. Alright, $125k, free car, and play at REA. That’s what we’re offering DuPont.

What about $50k, a free car from Rydell, and play in REA?

Makes you wonder for sure when teams like Miami and Bowling Green are landing new commits but no news from UND in awhile. Like you said, we need forwards for next year.

Here's a crazy stat: Andrew - last goal was Dec 6 against Miami Kunz - last goal was Dec 7 against Miami Jamernik - last goal was Nov 8 against UMD

Injury update: Kunz - IN Boisvert - MAYBE Perron - OUT Monty - OUT https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/und-gets-mixed-news-on-the-injury-front

Hopefully we hear some good news tomorrow on if Perron and/or Boisvert might be available to play this weekend.

We just need that 1883 Collective to start giving some paydays to these boys to keep them in GF a bit longer. Keep some players like Boisvert, Perron, James, Swanson...and then add in Zellers next year? That's a good amount of potential offensive talent on the top 2 lines.

Yep agreed. I would hope if a coaching change isn't made and then a situation like Perron/Boisvert enter portal, that could potentially force a change? Maybe. Who knows with Chaves. The only way I see a no portal goalie next year is if Hobie stays and Heil comes in for a trio of Hedquist/Heil/Huson.

Stoney posted that he's heard good updates on Zmolek making a return...that would be massive for the top 6 dmen group. There's been rumblings about Perron transferring too. I'd love if James returns, but could see him getting pressure to sign as a 2nd round pick entering his SR season. Agreed on Hobie. I could see him staying if he's told that he'll get #1 goalie spot to start season...but could see him hitting portal if we bring in another portal goalie. I go back and forth on Boisvert. I'd guess there would be a good chance he'd sign after his SO season anyway, so could see him sticking around, otherwise he'd potentially be moving around to 3 spots in 3 years. If he portals out, that'd be a bad look for UND and hopefully would cause the coaching staff to take a long look in the mirror.

And Monty might still be injured. I'm guessing Komzak will be on 3rd pairing this weekend.
