    UND had better figure out the "one-four, collapsing box at the blue" trap and fast. Others will see that tape. 

    Personally, they want to do that, dump it and beat the livin' dogsnot out of the retrieving D. 

    They beat it repeatedly on Saturday, especially in the first 40, but didn't bury the puck. 

    The second sentence is the key. Paging Mr. Johannes. 

  2. Let's get this going.

    I know CC is playing well, and I know they played us well at home, but I don't care. I truly believe we are better and we should win.

    I think we break out a little bit, here. Our boys need to be and should be playing loose. The pressure is more so on the Tigers. Play fast and win.

    UND wins 4-1

    I like it, but goodness, please, no OT haha.

    I guess it would keep our regulation streak intact. 

    I think we sweep. Not because CC isn't good, because they are. But, I just think we're better. The team is really rolling. Just feels like a confident bunch.

    With that said, wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to get smacked in the mouth one of the nights just to keep the team on its toes.

    Berry and company have done an excellent job putting the team together this year and bringing us up multiple notches. But it's hard to see someone other than Mayotte winning coach of the year in our conference. He definitely deserves it with where that program was for 7-8 straight years. Major props to him

    In defense of Bubs (I think Mayotte will likely win it, and should), he turned around AN ENTIRE DCorps and added a new goaltender. That's a helluva recruiting and coaching job

    Are we rooting for Omaha to lose to keep them away from an at large big so we have a better chance at being placed in Sioux Falls?

    I'm not. I'm rooting for Omaha to lose because I think they are annoying :D

    In all honesty, I'm a one step at a time kind of guy. The Penrose is step one for me. So, whatever gets us there quickest, count me in

    It appears to be the book on UND: through tight marking and physical play with pressure by taking away time and space thus affecting decisions, errant pases, and creating frustration.  We saw last night UND frustration especially when confronted.  UND can clean their clock physically but it distracts from movement down ice.

    Isn't this the game plan of every team that plays hockey?

    All four goals against Ludvig were solid scoring chances. Sure, he’s stopped them before. His defense left him out to dry every time. 
     

    Now, Berry is the ultimate players coach. Why the interviews after the game, if he’s just gonna sugar coat everything? It just looks bad. Really no excuse for the turnovers and poor back checking. This is against a bad team, that was without their top players. Blake running to the locker room after winning the game, tells the tale.

    Again, what did he sugar coat? Solid scoring chances? Like on the horrendous bounce that lead to a wide open breakaway on the SHG? 

    Whatever. Long story short, d corps didn't play their best and Luddy didn't bail them out. Got the win. Let's stop going in circles lol.

    Team D was atrocious early on. Goalie didn’t save the day. But they locked in when it mattered. It was lt wasn’t bad bounces.

    There were definitely a couple bad bounces, but I don't disagree we didn't play our best defensive game.

    Didn’t mention the poor defensive play. Blamed it on bounces. Puck luck. Same stuff.

    Well, I don't think he was that far off. UND played well in that game, by in large, and a couple of bad bounces did lead to goals, two that Luddy would want back. 

    Plus, what do you want Bubs to say? I'll never understand why anyone wants a coach to rip his players publicly. It accomplishes nothing. The team knows they shouldn't have needed OT for the win.

    My biggest question is why Schmaltz gets a pass , hasn’t scored all year yet Strinden is on the 4th line and Jake stays where he is. 

    I see it as a balance thing. The third and fourth lines feel relatively similar. If you flip Strinden and Schmaltz, the gap would be wider, IMO.

    Kunz deserved his shot on line 1. Perron will be fine and will ultimately be an incredible Top 6 player, right now he's just not there yet. It happens.

    It's just Tuesday, friend. One day away from the weekly press conference. Hopefully learn Hunter can play this weekend.

    Don't hold your breath, unfortunately.
