  1. Just not crisp in any area tonight, really out of sync. Spunar made some big saves but the winner and the first goal are ones he’s gonna stop more often than not. PP had some solid looks in OT but not having Zellers out at all is certainly a choice. Also pairing Verhoeff with Liv to have one timers from both side up top would’ve been how I went instead of Wiebe. Expect to see a lot more urgency and connection tomorrow night.

  2. Good to get a win when you don’t play well. Especially the first period we had some guys really fighting the puck. About mid 2nd really started to turn things up a bit and had some great chances but couldn’t convert and then the big one from Strathman late kinda carried us into the 3rd. Spunar didn’t look particularly sharp tonight either but made a save in a key spot or two.

  3. Much better team tonight, even more than the scoreboard shows. Good story and all that to get Homer a start and win but get Spunar back in tomorrow, much more comfortable with him in the net. A goal that just can’t go in and a couple absolute breakdowns that need to be tightened up lead to 3 of their 4. Finish the job tomorrow.

    Old rink in Roseau was pretty cold, then when you were defending the east net, they would open up the overhead door behind the goalie to freeze him even more.

    Red Lake Falls was cold also, with uninsulated corrugated metal walls and roof that was about 18’ over the very hard ice. The metal walls and roof seemed to transfer the cold in.

    The old Cardin Hunt really got cold when those 5:30 am practices popped up. Need a whistle flip it up off the ceiling. Kids nowadays don't get the joys of the locker rooms being in the firetrap upstairs with 6 foot ceilings and hallways that were about 4 feet wide.

    Dollars to donuts that he had no idea about UND hockey before receiving that box..he either researched the history of the team & players or Jackson sent him some highlighted points that he could use for his podcast. 

    Regardless, of all the 63 D1 teams, only Jackson or someone on his staff had the foresight to do this. It may seem goofy or just a gesture of goodwill on the surface, but it is another way of getting the UND hockey brand out to a much larger audience beyond what Buccigross can provide.

    Jackson isn't resting on his laurels, he's doing everything he can to get UND hockey front & center on the national stage again. 

     

    You watch any of these unboxing's that Gruden does and he knows his stuff on whatever program and sport it is. He does his research before shooting these things and that is nice to see.

    Koi Perich from Gophers entering portal. Read earlier they were expecting he’d cost $1M+ and sounded like they’d pay it.  Wonder what he’ll be getting somewhere else. 

    He got a million+ last season and then had some other side deals with a few companies like UNRL.

    Supposedly the biggest reason is he will go to a program that is perennial championship contender.

    Tough one to take but more so because of the story than the actual production this season. Homestate kid turns down the blue bloods and makes an impact as a true freshman, more kids than I have ever seen running around in jerseys with #3 on it. He is the guy at Minnesota and he probably got away with some things other guys can't. The million+ that they now have to spend in the trenches is nice but its hard to still not be disappointed by this move.

  7. What a dud of a performance tonight. Everything looked like half speed, all around sloppy, really soft on pucks. Continue to struggle in the net with bad rebounds. Got lost in dzone a number of times again. Not many chances offensively from quality scoring areas.

  8. Kinda the end result you expect going into this series.

    Defensively thought we had some lapses this weekend. Let Minnesota speed get behind us a few times for odd man opportunities.

    Little bit of overpassing at times tonight.

    Just not the same level of intensity and urgency tonight.

    Homer has to handle shots better especially with the glove, allowing too many rebounds and just wasn’t real sharp tonight.
