I don't think UND is playing as badly, or is as bad a team as many posters now seem to believe. UND is on a losing streak, but is missing their best defenseman, has lost many one goal games, had many bad breaks, and almost all of the losses are against top 15 teams (CC, Denver, Minnesota, Mankato). Earlier in the year UND was fortunate in many games--how many pinball goals were scored by Bochenski and Hale around Christmas time and early January? Early in the season it was easy to overestimate the strength of the team, and now its becoming easy to underestimate them if you only look at the record the past few games. MSU-Mankato is a good team. UND is also a very good team. When your team wins, you forget all the mistakes they made during that game. When they lose, every mistake is remembered as a glaring one.
