  1. Tough to lose this one. Really thought the forwards played well. Dzone play has got to get better. I thought Simpson played well and Gleason wasn't bad tonight. The rest of them, well... A split would've really helped. One take away from this weekend is that Minnesota is for real and is excellent; and we can go toe to toe with them. We won 3 periods this weekend. They won 3 periods this weekend.
  2. The officials will not do UND any favors. So far, our best players have been the best players on the ice...they need to finish this one. One period.
  3. FSN has now adjusted their stats. If you look at the stats they are showing, you would think UND is lucky to be in the game. The game I've been watching has been very even. Establishing a forecheck is more important than getting off a shot from the point. I would guess that time on attack is dead even.
  4. We can't afford to lose Mac back there. He is our only physical defenseman. I'd say turn Steph Pattyn loose on Rau.
  5. Good tempo to this game. UND came out strong. Shots are very misleading...Fox Sports North actually put a stat up that said MN has had 10 quality scoring chances- they must've meant shots. This has been a very good period for both teams.
  6. Reason doesn't belong on a web forum
  7. Danny played it the way you're coached. You let a puck carrier go 1-1 against a dman and the goalie, you prevent a pass.
  8. Need to play fast, establish a strong forecheck, play the body, good crisp passes.
  9. This thing with Rocco is RIDICULOUS. He is a top 6.
  10. Danny is reading the trailer and looking to clear out a rebound to turn it back up ice. Possibly creating a 3-2 the other way. Joe didn't check him effectively, but still pushed Condon pretty wide. Let's not blame Joe or Clarke or Danny and call it like it is...that was just a beautiful snipe of the far-side upper from a tough angle.
  11. Really? Wow. That would be surprising to me. You'd think that Hak would bring everyone down for this series.
  12. It really is hatred. It is almost as if hockey is the allegory for something much larger... City vs Country Red State vs Blue State Big School vs Small School Entitlement, contempt, etc. Compound it with the fact that both teams are perennial powers...then make the geographic proximity such that you have to witness the one another's successes...it boils over
  13. I'd throw O'Donnell back out there to see if a couple games off have helped him- Knight with Grimaldi and Kristo Rowney with Parks and Cagguilla Mac with Mac and O'Donnell Pattyn with Gleason and St Clair
  14. 100% true. Grant will tell you the same. Grant did not fit the mold of Blaiser's teams. Blais built teams around skating and speed. Grant Potulny has a lot of talents for hockey, but skating and speed are not at the top of the list. His intangibles, especially leadership, really were difference makers for every team he played on.
  15. Parise was playing for Shattuck in 2001-2002. Oh, and Potulny is not Parise.
  16. I did not research, just recollection. if you go back to 2002, it is actually 2-3 in ending seasons.
  17. Tonight is going to tell us A LOT about this UND team
  18. Ye of little faith...don't give up. We had a bad performance.
  19. I disagree on a coaching change. It is January! Dean will not come back. Lucia has a losing record against UND. We failed to establish a forecheck. We failed miserably in our own zone. Our skating was poor, our passes were off, no physicality. BC got shelled by Minnesota- does anyone doubt that they will be in the mix in March/April?
  20. I think that's his girlfriend...
  21. How many UND games have you watched this year? Do you know that the lines tonight were as follows: 1st- played together for the first time last weekend (Kristo and Knight have played together all year) 2nd- haven't played together since last season 3rd- never played together before 4th- never played together before We split with BU and Notre Dame, took 3 pts from Denver...split with SCSU... Don't talk paychecks...I'll keep it classy and not go down the road that makes me want to go...
  22. It is January, not March or April...If I recall, even the Hrkac Circus team lost a game at Mariucci. The UND coaching staff is known for making late season pushes and getting better as the season wears on. We do not even have our lines set for crying out loud. Minnesota is a very quality team this year. To get beat on their ice is a great motivator and wake-up call. I am optimistic that we have not played our best hockey, and I believe that Minnesota is peaking early. I might be wrong, and they might just get better, but I believe that we will definitely get better. I do agree that we had no puck luck, but we didn't work hard enough to get it. Minnesota did a great job limiting our chances. Rarely did we have flow and good looks with numbers attacking. Tomorrow is another day
