So with all the moisture in this recent snow the narrative of drought to start building your ark spring flooding starts in 3...2...1...

Joy Reid would like a word with you.....

European model.....American model....blah blah blah. Forecasting weather has turned into nothing more than dueling fear porn by our local outlets.

Amount of ice time played in 5x5 situations, outside of last series porous goaltending and defensive pairings and their lapses. There was a stretch earlier this season when 15 and 25 were on the ice for 11 of 13 5x5 goals against. Most likely based on ice time those two Fr. were on the ice for a few of those. Frisch was outstanding this past series and Kleven was good too but that has not been the case for most of this season so it is a little disingenuous to look at two Fr. as the defensive liabilities based on +/-. McLaughlin is the best playmaker at center since Nick Schmaltz. Blake is well.......just special.

There isn't a line that is close to generating offensive like Blake McLaughlin and Gaber. Are they a shutdown line....nope but their minus ratings have a lot more to do with other factors then them defensively.

Port is pretty plugged with the happening in the halls of 600 E Boulevard Ave in Bismarck. There were those there that got wind of this. My tinfoil hat theory could speculate Port was tipped off by someone from that address who wasn't getting any response when it was brought to UND's attention.

Frisch's stellar play made a huge difference this series as did DeRidder's.

90 seconds

James 3-0 If you had UND getting 5 of 6 points this weekend go collect your money

Since it's his first of the year.....no.

2-0 Portz

Still 1-0 with 12 to go

Kunz has been jacked around so far this season.

SOG 18-8 WMU

If a guess is allowed I'll go a 5 on Kleven.....lose 2-1

Kunz is in GF too as a scratch

Go collect your money if you had WMU scoring 2 goals thru 5 periods this weekend

UND missed the net on 75% of their breakaways

Scratched

He's on his couch in GF

SOG 9-6 WMU

The 5th can't do that Horrible turnover

Blake >>> McCallister

Least it wasn't "shot just wide"

If 10 can look BB in the eye and say he's not at least 90% 21 plays. 10 hasn't been the poster child of dependability health wise in his career. Why risk him getting ding up more when he has been good this season so far when healthy. ......and IMO 21 should be in over 13 right now. Can just bring more to the table skill wise.
