Agreed. Also expect Yon to make a huge jump in production next season. Kid has shown so much potential, just needs to finish and hit the point sheet more. A lot of young talent. Would love to see Jost stick around, but we'll have to wait and see. Obviously the kid passed up major juniors because he wanted to do the college route, hopefully he is committed to developing at least one more year here. I know we all expected Brock to leave after 2 years, but I'm sure Brock had higher expectations for his play this season. Granted, he had an injury and a drop off in the talent around him from last season, but I still think if he came back for one more year, he would be ready to make the jump to the NHL. Bottom line, there isn't a person on this team who is playing like they are ready to make the jump to the AHL or NHL. (Maybe Brock, but he would probably be playing in the AHL for a year). Makes it interesting to see what happens with Cam now. Looking far more human this season, without the super deep D corps. He is looking like he could play another season. What does that mean for Tomek? Does he stay? Not sure but does Peter Thome come in next season? Looks like Karki is no longer coming either. So what is UND's goalie situation in the next 2-3 years. Personally, I'm hoping for a Cam/Tomek split next season. With Tomek taking the reigns full time the following year.

Before UND scored that 1st goal on Saturday, we actually saw a flurry of scoring chances. That is the time of consistent drive to the net that we have been missing. If the team is struggling, just get the puck to the net and look for the rebounds. Pretty entertaining game, after what has been a few weeks of pretty boring hockey. Really hoping this sparks something for the boys heading to Kalamazoo. A split would be big, a sweep would be huge in terms of the pairwise. Though Cam played well overall, but that first goal was pretty atrocious. Still has room to play better and needs to own that crease. We have all see what can happen when a goalie gets hot, so I'm hoping Cam is getting ready to hit a late season stride. Gornall and Smith should be be regulars in the lineup until their play dictates that they be benched. Those two out work half the team. Would rather see them than Wilkie, Simo or Olson. I can't say I'm overly confident on this team based on their play, but I am very hopeful based on their potential. Hope to see it all start clicking in time.

True, but he shouldnt be drinking BEFORE the game.

Smith should be in the lineup until he earns the opportunity to sit. Kid plays hard nosed hockey.

Legit drake caggiulia caliber shot there.

Boom Gornall!

Poganski with a penalty shot to win, anyone?

Yep

Haha, I hear ya.

Twins haven't won since the early 90s. UND won last year ... so, no not really.

Woah, that looked like Sioux hockey!

Not sure why people are booing. Obvious and stupid penalty.

Agreed. I like hrinks, but he is not playing well.

Don't seem to create time for tic tac toe plays. By the time our guys get the puck the other team is already on topening of them. We're really struggling to win puck battles and create space. All around it just feels like they are playing slower than the opponents.

Hey now, expectations in this program are the NCAA tourney every year. Nobody want to miss it. Few years ago we barely made it and still hit the frozen four. Gotta make the tourney, then see what happens.

Any good prospects playing intramural?

Strength of schedule. We are basically the Northern Iowa of hockey right now.

1 or 2?

Argument could be made that jost had a nice freshman year, minus injury, and could still develop. I think boeser could too, but Vancouver may feel different. Hopefully there is a little trust given how Stecher turned out.

He should really stay one more year after this. Finish developing and leave on a good note. The way he is playing he won't be in the nhl next year.

Basically we look like Omaha when they played us. Slow, gliding instead of skating, always behind the play, zero control. We just look slow, lost and bad. Is talent part of it? Sure. But we've had teams ther were short on talent before. This teams lacks energy, motivation, want, heart, and any other intangible. No doubt that. IF this team make the tourney they could surprise some people, BUT at this point, I'd be surprised to see them make the tourney.

What a crazy senior slide. I remember being so pumped when he decided to switch from Denver to und. Now?

^this so much

I really wonder why Tomek's hasn't had more of a shot. Cam has beenough ok, RINK hasn't shown much. What is the issue between Tomek and Berry?

Cam alone was not the problem, but he also didnt play well enough to own the net. If you don't have a guy owning the net, then get more guys some gameplay. Otherwise they all look like pee wees.
