If Hak isn't going to play Rocco on top line then Mark Mac w Drake is who Rocco might click. Parks Rowney and Gaarder would be ok as well. Mitch seems to be offensively suited to okay w Kristo on opposite wing.

1st CC goal...Rowney misplays puck in D zone and directs it towards UND net. Winds up on a CC stick. 2nd CC goal....puck loose to left of UND net. Gleason makes move to get it and falls down. CC player there...shot and goal. Still not sure how that one got by Zane.

If UND plays a trading chance for chance series w UM like it did CC they will get worked over badly. UND needs better goaltending and not continued sloppy play in their D zone. Rocco is X factor...right now he is almost a non factor w his spot in the line up. His skill set isn't being utilized in the role he is in currently IMO. I still think he is a good top line fit then get Parks Rowney MarkMac back together with 3rd line of Connor Drake Mitch. O'Donnell got another chance last night and did nothing with it. Gleason at forward I still don't get even though he scored last night.

So your point is you are very much accustomed to watching this type of hockey team so you have a good reference point!?!

If we can get 5 other Dman to play like Simpson did this weekend we might have a good chance both nights. He was very solid...the others not so much.

Rocco IMO is misplaced. He needs to play w similar skill. Put him w Kristo and Knight. Get Easy Mac Parks Rowney back together. Then Mitch Drake and Gaarder might work.

SOG UND 15-1 in 2nd period

Cue the "hot" goalie...

Getting nothing offensively from anyone not Kristo.

Gleason on the 2nd

SOG CC 12-4

Another poor effort and sloppy so far

This^^^^^^^^

At game...was 1st thing my daughter noticed.

Got to have a full grasp of the rules, calls, ect...if you are going to "teach". With what I've witnessed from WCHA refs over the years not sure this is possible.

St Clair seemed to be favoring a leg mid game but didn't notice that as the game progressed.

Joe has had 2 back to back poor games on D. Rewarding that w a move to wing I don't get except he has speed.

Whole sale changes...hope it works. A loss tonight wouldn't be good.

That makes more sense.

Wow...Hak really mixing it up. Liked Drake and Rocco together w Rowney. Eh...Gleason at forward? Gaarder and St. Clair out? Thought those 2 actually played ok last night. Would have thought lines would be a little more solidified by now.

I like Parks on top line. He is the greasy goal guy on that line. He is physical to help below the red line which IMO gives Kristo more space. Thought Mitch had his best game last night. He rang one off the pipe that would have given UND a lead. I like the General's line as is.

Would be very surprised if UND doesn't win this one...big. 5-2

Must win...no. Much needed gota have it win...yes.

I think Hak goes back to forward lineups vs HC plugging in Rocco for Drake. Panz had to play tonight to eliminate some of the soft D play.

A win tonight puts record at 8-3-3 in WCHA. As poor an effort/game last night not a bad league record w 2 games in hand
