As some of us were talking about (and hoping for) during the off-season...this team passes the eye-test. Last year, they had flashes of skill and good play, but they never passed the eye-test for the entire game. I know it is early. And I know that there will be some rough stretches with how young our forward group is. But this team looks the part. Faster, no question. Better passing already after two games. Relentless on the puck. I've seen more takeaways in the offensive and neutral zones than I remember from half the season last year (led directly to one goal each game). How fun is that 4th line? Dang. Might be the best 4th line in the country with how they're playing.

Haha, I just did it to mess with ya. I'm sure @jimdahl could write some code to not allow any xG talk to be posted?

Yeah, he played better on Friday than two of the dmen today. It's great to have that depth. According to the CHN boxscore and the dreaded xG metric, UST should have won this game 3.8-2.2. Ha, I feel that UND had quite a few good scoring chances that Musser stopped...not sure I agree with that 2.2 stat.

"Depth" I like it. +1 on each.

Karl applied for HC job, didn't get it. Then Dane let him go. It is what it is.

Great sweep. Win the games that you should. Now, bring on UMN.

And Liver with 1-2-3.

James tackled, no call.

We're gonna see a lot of scoring from our dmen this season, I feel. Not because our forwards lack skill (like the year Wolanin was our leading scorer), but because our d-corps is just so darn skilled.

I'm gonna TM that name if they stick together. 9min left...close this one out!

Took long enough.

UND with 2 goals on 3 shots this period. Keep up with that shooting % and we'll be fine.

Just a beautiful pass across from Rickwood. He's so good. Rickwood from Zellers Zellers from Rickwood Be huge if that line gets rolling too.

ZELLERS!!! What a pass

Weird deflection in front.

Crap. 3-2

Or I guess they should be the Bubble Bros. Rickwood from Zellers

The Bowl Bros combine for a goal! UST challenging for offsides.

PPG! 3-1

Only a 2. Prob since Cole didn't lay on the ground and milk it like others do.

Finally a PP

Other than that uncalled slash on the Littler breakaway. Mostly sloppy period for the boys in green. Hoping they come out in the 3rd like they did in the 1st.

Man he sure picked that corner. Nothing the goalie could do with that.

2-1! Wiebe 4th line AGAIN!
