This... it's pretty easy. We're also two years into a NCAA tourney drought. Wins drive the boat. Not worried if we continue to play like we have this season. Deer opener has always seen an attendance drop and always will.

Hockey players have a lot of pride. Sounds like JJ wanted to be there for his team.

No reason to let off the gas. Get the sweep. 4-1 good guys. Michaud, Guchi, Yon, Senden

I wasn't there in person, but I can imagine watching UND pick corners consistently is fun to watch Watching with a buddy, I tried to think back to how many times in the past two season we saw our team beat a goalie clean with a wicked wrist shot. I could think of less than 5. Tonight, I think we had 4.

Love this lineup.

Yup yup. Looking forward to playing them after we take care of Miami.

Spot on. I understand they beat us a bunch last year, but those games we're one bounce games.

Sounds like a party, my friend.

Don't be ridiculous... no way we get two

What size beers we talking?

Unless they took a really massive step forward from last year, I don't believe they are that much better.

Conference time, baby. Good guys in green start it off on the right foot. 4-2 UND Mash, JBD, Senden, Adams 2-for-5 on the PP

He tried to play through it. Went through a million tests. Kept trying to play. Seems like a hockey player that most would laud around here. Instead, he was having his attitude and toughness questioned.

For all of you that were questioning JJ. https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/4754933-Joel-Janatuinen-opens-up-on-health-issues-last-season-It-was-so-crushing

It's kind of what they've always done, historically. Very, very competitive for 2 or 3 years and then fall off, build back up. Symptom of getting guys who often not the "top-tier" and are four-year players and developing them well.

College Hockey News and USCHO both have apps.

UND into #10 in both polls. DU No. 1 in both. https://www.uscho.com/2019/11/04/denver-still-perfect-still-no-1-in-this-weeks-uscho-com-division-i-mens-poll/

I love the call. Hope you're right! I'm very encouraged by the style of the PP this year. Seems like the guys just need to get used to it and get confident. Fire passes and rip the puck. Too many pauses.

This is the last of the opening stretch of games that may be turn out to be huge. These are two very winnable games before the schedule turns up a notch. 5-1-1 in the first 7 is excellent and necessary. I wanted to see UND go at least 7-2 in the first 9 based on the schedule and can be 7-1-1 a sweep.

Not necessarily bad. I just don't see an overall lack of anything, however. The improvement of our upperclassmen and the influx of talent is glaring, to me.

Ok, so, you're not talking about how this team is better than last, you're upset with recruiting. Got it. I'm on this year, man and I'm very happy with the progress, thus far.

Completely agree. The talent is better this year than the past two. Execution is the problem, IMO.

This. I love the system, they are just simply overthinking it. It's all about quick twitch, making the defenders move and get the goalie out of position. Too often we hold the puck or pause on the one timer. Adams and Mash, among others, just have to find the confidence to make that one pass that breaks the structure and boom. I counted 8 solid scoring chances in the 5 PPs. Two were saved, four missed the net and the other two were broken up. Gotta bear down. This system is working and has given the team chances. Just gotta bury.

Wouldn't really call it a rush for the GWG. Fantastic stick play by Adams on the forecheck and then hit Guch on a great feed. Awesome to see Guch snipe that. Kid is a killer.
