+1 Hopefully Hobie can play well tomorrow, he earned the start with his play tonight. Boys need to capitalize on whatever chances they can get, because Cornell will limit those chances.

When it's not early in the season? We'll see how the boys respond tomorrow. To be honest, our schedule has been brutal, and we knew that coming in. Hopefully this tough start will help the boys down the road.

Cornell ENG

Needed more time in the tents. Damn it.

Time for Cornell to get a couple ENG to make the score look worse.

Seemed to do alright against Providence and Fri night BU game. UND unfortunately has already shown having issues scoring or even generating offense chances against defensive teams like MSUM and Cornell.

PK Not what we wanted for a comeback push.

James got one. Were you wanting a few more?

So our injured list is currently: Berg Zmolek Johnson Komzak Croal Strathmann

No, he is also injured. No joke. Didn't make the trip.

Assuming we have enough players to field a roster.

Agreed. I was merely stating what Brad posted on his chat. He's posted multiple times about UND players and coaches being mad about missed calls.

Sounds like refs swallowing the whistle on a few Cornell potential penalties.

DU not having any trouble with their ECAC that hasn't played a game yet. Different levels though.

Getting crushed in faceoffs.

I love the way Zmolek plays the game, but man he's missed more games than he's played it seems.

Strathmann injured too after driven into the boards...he went to the locker room with Pooly. Forget carrying 8-9 D next season...we need 10-11 from the looks of things.

They said it was tipped in front. Not a good defensive or goalie start though. TJ needs to get that first one at least.

Geez wth 1-2

He prob spent all week working on his breakaway moves.

So much for Cornell being rusty. 0-1 already

Agreed. Cornell is like a more skilled version of Mankato. And we struggled against them for both games.

Perron

WTH. How are we already short so early in the season? Four players didn't travel with the team for the Cornell series due to injuries: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/und-arrives-in-ithaca-with-shortened-roster Berg, Zmolek, Komzak, and Johnson all injured. Berg is a surprise. Both him and Zmolek would have been helpful against Cornell. Would be nice if Berg could be back for UMD...doesn't sound like Zmolek will be though.
