When #7 UCA losses and UND then still stays at #9 come Sunday it'll be the Fix 2.0.

So again if UND is not a top 8 seed BF can bid on hosting a first round playoff matchup? That checkbook needs to be wide open..................

Have you seen the Cats play? ..........and the game is in Missoula.

UND's special teams are a net -7 to date. Last in the NCHC and near the bottom nationally...54th out of 60. The big ice this weekend probably won't help with those stats/rankings.

Lol. Yes.......and me by 5 too!

Didn't UND go thru that thinking/enabling with Murphy? Eventually it will click.....never did. 7 points in 40 games minus the one anomaly is what it is. I can/usually will shoot under par one round a year but I'm far from a scratch golfer. My handicap, not including my looks, is based of my body of work/rounds.

Wilke has 11 points 5G 6A in 41 games but he had 2G 2A in one game last year. Minus that one game he has 7 points 3G 4A in 40 games. He made his mark in the USHL as a goal scorer........not so far at UND.

Best game at the Al..........easy for me the 2001 vs UC Davis game. Overall....... pretty tough to beat a game that wins a Natty though.

I was too lazy to put them on their correct side.............................................

FYP. I'd go with this...^^^

With the PK being as it is the big ice will not help if UND continues to march players to the box. This team won't go anywhere until their special teams improve.

Jost NEEDS to center a line without Boeser this weekend.

This...^^^ UND forgot there was a middle third of ice to use too.

Good point

Cole Smith can play at this level but is definitely at this stage a bottom 6 forward. JJ IMO is the 6th top 6 guy.

Go old school.......white.

Hmmmmmmmmm............it's all making sense now.

Agree. We were down by 21 but Rudolph still mixed it up in his play calling. This team can throw the ball which will take defenders out of the box which makes running the ball easier as well. Keeping defenses off balance is key moving forward. This team isn't built for 3rd and 8 when they have to throw the ball on 3rd down.

Whoa......whoa......pump the brakes boss!

Brock is so skilled offensively but he is really becoming a defensive liability especially on the PK. His 2 way game is not even close to NHL ready. I'd go like this for the top 2 lines this weekend: Gersich Gardner Boeser JJ Jost Pogo

I'll take a win.........just one........this coming weekend.

The UND team that I watched in the 2nd half Saturday needs to be the UND that plays both halves in each game come playoff time. I get UND was down 21 points and Rudolph needed to dial up the pass plays but I thought overall his play calling Saturday was really, really good. This team can pass the ball, which in turn will open up the run. It is obvious though this team is not built for 3rd and 7 or 8. I thought there was balance and some unpredictability even down 21. Kudos to Rudolph.

Valid point....no it wasn't.

Negative? Ok.......Mr. Sparkly Unicorn. I sit right next to someone with very close immediate ties to this program and he was very disappointed with attendance yesterday...and it's not the first time he has expressed his opinion towards that. Hopefully if and when UND hosts a playoff game this team can get the support they deserve. Is that negative enough for you? I can be less of an advocate for the attendance this team should be getting if that makes you happy. Guys like you and UNDBIZ probably would like that. Oh and to your last point neither does rioting about the results of an election.........

I'm not a hockey guy but I know it is really difficult to score when you continually have 3 guys below the red line and rarely play the puck out in front of the net in your offensive zone.
