Good call and the entire post is exactly how I feel. Will this be a trend to lose close games while handily dominating opponents? I surely hope not. But, right now, it's just one game and is really not a big deal.

Step back and look at the big picture, indeed. Game 1 in which we handled our competition in every facet, but didn't pot one goal and tied. The big picture, as what BSV was saying, was that we tied on the backs of a great goalie performance on the road in Game 1. Zero trends have been established at this point.

Yeah, as soon as I said that, that was my first thought. What were the groupings last night? 1) Gersich Rhett Pogo Poolman Wolanin ... 2) JJ Hoff Mismash Shaw Peski?

Well, I think it's a matter of having Wolanin on there is pretty much like another forward.

Mantha has a career .913 with THAT dumpster fire of a team in UAA. He's a very good goaltender. With that said, no excuses for missing open nets. None. It just can't happen.

Awww man, I miss GF. Where is our resident troll?!

Is this true?

https://daddydumpandchase.blogspot.com/2017/10/friday-gameday-just-like-old-times.html DDC said 6-2 so who am I to argue? Mismash, Gersich, Wolanin, Pogo x2, JJ

I was in full panic mode. Thank you, AZ

I certainly would not be upset with this, honestly.

Anyone gonna make the bold move to start one? 1, 2, 3.... NOT IT

I think Pogo will be our second-leading scorer this year, but has a lower ceiling than a guy like Kawaguchi or Mismash. I see those two as stars in the making. Adams just below that. Not sure about Jones. I still have this thought in my mind that he kind of muddled around at OSU and had to go back to Junior and don't expect a lot out of him. But, he's been getting rave reviews. As far as Gardner goes, he needs to live up to his potential and I think we can both agree that it's there.

This weekend or season long?

AZ?!?! WHERE ARE YOUUUUUU? We need a gameday thread, dang it!

For the first time since 2011, UND is back at the Last Frontier to take on the UAA Seawolves from Sullivan Arena. Here's what DDC is watching for this weekend https://daddydumpandchase.blogspot.com/2017/10/friday-gameday-just-like-old-times.html

DDC's quick take on the Manitoba exhibition. Good start. https://daddydumpandchase.blogspot.com/2017/10/roses-and-thorns-starting-hoff-on-right.html

DDC's take on the exhibition... good stuff, all around! https://daddydumpandchase.blogspot.com/2017/10/roses-and-thorns-starting-hoff-on-right.html

Lol winner by default. I'll take it!

Mismash

Color me optimistic, but for me, it's all about the long term. LOTS of players who will be here four years and a couple blue chippers in the pipeline.... I'm excited. Success this year won't be a shock. Our cupboard is definitely not empty.

Hahaha. I think this is like the 3rd time I've every gotten this far, so we could all use a boost.

I was completely kidding.

I'll go Gersich

Shoulda picked better
