Looks like the team is getting healthier. North Dakota MHockey‏@UNDMHockey2h Dave Hakstol says junior forward Mark MacMillan has practiced all week and he's "hopeful" he'll be available this weekend. North Dakota MHockey‏@UNDMHockey2h Hakstol added that Colten St. Clair remains out this weekend. It's possible he returns next week but most likely back after Christmas.

Nice to finally get a win again but still lots of areas that will need to continue to get better. I thought the energy and effort was real good in the 1st and then in the 2nd and 3rd there were areas of time where we just sat back and let St.Lawrence do whatever they wanted which was the case with their 1st goal. Definitely need to stay agressive and attacking consistently throughout the game an make some smarter plays at times. I didn't like the major call on Tambo early and I'm pretty sure Hak thought it should have been a 2 from his reaction as well. I thought Zane played pretty well and really bailed the team out at times, hopefully he can take the goalie job and run with it. Big weekend at Western Michigan, need to play better consistently and get points.

I'll go with Chyzyk

Wouldn't have mattered if they knew exactly what Hak wanted to do tonight or had no idea with the amount of effort the players put out there tonight. Hak should have them on the ice still skating because it didn't look like they put much into the game tonight.

Bring in all the recruits next year that could come in either of the next 2 seasons because there are a number of guys who could be replaced on this roster. This team doesn't deserve all the luxuries they have right now and I think they feel too comfortable. The one thing you can always control is the effort and there seemed to be a number of guys out there tonight who just didn't give a whole lot of effort. If this team wants to do anything this season they need to play a much more desperate style and play with a sense of urgency. Really can't believe we are hoping to get a split at home with a team that was picked mid to bottom of the ecac.

Yeah must have took the wrong turn and got lost yet again.

Did anyone really expect the powerplay to generate anything though?

Huge opportunity with the long 5 on 3 coming up.

What a weak goal!

No this isn't Sioux hockey at all, don't think I've seen much if any actual Sioux hockey this season.

Ha the Cornell goalie did this week, maybe Hak needs to start telling the goalies to shoot more.

Pretty pathetic effor so far tonight, I don't care who is in the lineup it is unacceptable to lose to a team like this. Saw a minor league coach kept his team on the ice after a game this week to skate them and right now I'm thinking Hak may have to try that soon. Would guess we see Zane in the net to start the 3rd as Saunders hasn't been sharp at all.

Schmaltz

Disappointed with the result but definitely a muc better game from the team tonight. Couple hops that didn't go our way cost us but this game gives me some hope heading into a series were anything less than a sweep is unacceptable that this team can find a way into the tournament if some guys get healthy. We complain about the reffing in our conference a lot but I am very thankful we don't have to see refs like that every weekend, they are horrible all the way around.

Luke Johnson

Another frustrating and ugly performance tonight. Very frustrated by the hockey east reffing tonight but I guess that is pretty common when we go east. Clark was alright probably should have been better on the 1st goal but I thought the 3rd was the worst with him kicking out a horrible rebound and I hope we see Zane tomorrow night. Right now I am just hoping this team can get healthy and come together a little bit and make a run to get in the tournament again this season. Watching some of the Gopher/Bulldog game tonight there is definitely a huge level of difference between a championship contender like the Gophers and where we are right now.

North Dakota MHockey‏@UNDMHockey4m UND lineup: Chyzyk-Caggiula-Grimaldi || Murphy-Johnson-Parks || Mi. MacMillan-Tambellini-Gaarder || Ausmus-Pattyn-Panzarella North Dakota MHockey‏@UNDMHockey4m Defense: Simpson-Schmaltz || Mattson-LaDue || Thompson-Stecher || Goalies: Saunders-Gothberg

LaDue

Just saw that, I think Thompson would probably fit the best as a forward out of the 3 but I can understand that Hak wouldn't want him playing as a forward when he hasn't played very much even on D this season.

Reading the travel blog it looks like the whole roster made the trip to Boston. It says that Rodwell's status is still up in the air but I would think Schloss is right and he probably won't be able to go. Assuming Rodwell can't go what do you think we see for lines this weekend? Tough situation but I think I'd go something like this: Chyzk-Caggiula-Rocco Tambo-Johnson-Parks Sanderson-Pattyn-Murphy Mitch-Gaarder-Panzerella/Ausmus Even though Tambo is naturally a center I think he would be almost a waste of his talent if he plays with Mitch and a D-man and think he would fit in well with Johnson and Parks.

Mattson

Haha he definitely has got a lot more talent than a North Dakota 9-man player. Here are his stats from this season TD: 18 103 Carriers- 935 Yd 15 Rec-360 Yd 10 KR-470 Yd 4 PR-250 Yd All Purpose Yds-2,015 Definitely plays bigger than his listed size and the tape lists him at 5'9" 185. Take a look at his highlight tape to me it looks like he is better than any of the current backs.

Might look like a scat back because of size but very physical running style. Would be a great pickup if UND could get him, had a horrible offensive line his freshman year at Northland and found his way to be a Honorable Mention All American, great kid off the field too.

Solid win, I was thinking here we go again after UMD tied the game back up. Saunders played well for the most part but you just can't give up the 2 that he did. Rodwell has definitely looked motivated and if he keeps playing like he has he won't see the stands again. Mitch works hard but his lack of speed is just so apparent and I really hope we don't have to rely on him playing for too much longer, wouldn't mind even going with 7 D some of the time. Really don't like seeing Panz in the lineup either he just seems so uncomfortable back in there and slow to the puck and make decisons. I would like to see Zane in the net tonight and Ausmus in for Panz tonight.
