I feel like we are watching different teams. I don't see how anyone thinks last year's team didn't grind/work hard/were hungry. You don't have that much TOP with guys who don't grind out shifts and work hard. Smith, Senden, Keane, Bowen, Rhett, Jones are all prime examples. It's fine having a difference of opinion and I'm not attacking you, whatsoever, I just don't see this. I consistently saw net front presence, slot chances, but not any solid finishing. At least consistently.

Thank you. I'd argue we were mentally fine in nearly every game other than WMU early in the year. Our play showed this. Goal scoring was the problem.

Is there a question that this team played hard last year? I certainly don't think there was. We consistently controlled puck possession and territory all year, but just could not pot goals to save our lives.

Fantastic work by the person who created that GIF for putting the words on his hands as they moved. Absolutely fantastic.

Yeah, this won't affect the 19-20 hockey team. Change threads.

Definitely. I was very optimistic after the dominance and was sure the goals would come. Welp... Lol

Save percentage would be nice to have a bit higher for Scheel and crew haha.

Slow day at work. Let's get one started. Last year, UND outshot Manitoba 55-9, but the Hawks needed an OT goal to win 3-2, starting a year-long trend of dominating, but not scoring. What do you all want to see out of this team against the Bisons?

No, no. I understand what you're saying, for sure. We have to sweep. Make no bones about it. I'm only saying that I couldn't care less what we look like in said wins especially in games 1 and 2 of the season. I know this team will be good come tournament time and October doesn't reflect on that very often. My point is, they need to just get it done.

A win, is a win, is a win in the PWR. We didn't get them last year against them. Just get it done.

Starts from the back end, for me. Scheel behind that defense is helluva start. Couple of impact freshmen and progress from the rest of the team. The addition of Michaud is going to be very important.

Whoops. Yeah, I had him as fourth LW, but put Caulfield in there instead.

How dare you schedule your wedding on the day of the national championship

I think that was just removing a year of eligibility. So, he will only get three years with UND and not four.

I've heard a little bit of the lineups in practice from early on, so I'll say this: Mismash - Michaud - Pinto Hain - Adams - Kawaguchi Smith - Senden - Keane Caulfield - Weatherby - Blaisdell Ext: Johnson - Bowen - Albrecht Pooly - JBD Kierstad - Bast Tychonick - Peski Frisch - Rieger

Great news.

Our talent couldn't score. We won that game top to bottom, but didn't pot. Our lack of talented finishing certainly was the difference.

Is that good? Man, they should probably move up to FBS

I don't necessarily disagree, but in what way? Like, they are spending more in marketing? I'm trying to understand what you mean.

More than anything, I'm just very appreciative of the deep dive Bubbs has done to improve. Very happy about it.

Told ya haha. I hope all of these tweaks work! I really like the early practice one.

I think using WAY more than three doesn't define "typical" use hahaha. Don't give him any credit

God I despise the wave lol.
