First of all Tech is Tech...even with a less than stellar effort UND got a W. Tech is also the cheapest, dirtiest team I've seen UND play this season. After last nights fiasco I would start Jim, Panz and the General and give one of them the green light to set some type of tone for the rest of the playoffs. If Mac is going to get tossed on a BS call then have someone get tossed legit!
IMO the line combos are out of sync. OD doesn't do much on top line. If you watch last night's game again Kristo and Knight basically are a 2 man line. Rocco...who knows?? At this point does it matter his linemates? Kid has missed on more grade A chances than any Sioux player I can remember. He needs one soooooo badly. How Mitch stays in the lineup while Drake sits is beyond me. With the way this team play a system of defense they are going to need to get shots to the net and score. Drake and Bryn IMO are way better offensive options than OD, Mitch and Gaarder even though I like his grittiness.
Zane can not, I repeat can not, continue to give up soft goals like last night if this team want to play more than one game in the F5 or NCAA.
I expect a different UND team than we saw last night tonight. Will be disappointed though if the lines are the same.
