One of the worst UND teams I've watched...and I've been watching since 1980... although I did miss a bunch of the early and mid-nineties in college

That was awkward...shouldn't be 5

Our d have looked lazy retrieving pucks in our end all year

Cam has zero confidence. He looked behind him right away on that shot.

We just can't compete with the Dawgs this year...

nope

Love Gorns tonight

When did we become the Gophers? We don't like contact, and we play the game entitled... Gardner and Pogo need to elevate their games. Boeser needs to get the eye of the tiger back. On the backend, we have to find that mean streak...play right up to the edge... only Jost, Gersich, and Poolman are playing Sioux hockey right now

Don't know the film, but looks like a young warren Beatty in the back..:that guy PULLED

Ausmus sucks should be stripped of the C

These teams are pretty equally matched, with UND having a little more elite talent (Boeser and Jost) but UMD being more seasoned. They both play the game the right way. Special teams will play a role. UMD hasn't seen Jost and Boeser split...I don't follow the Dogs enough to know if they have two d-pairings that can shutdown guys who will score 20 goals in the show in a year or two...

He likely never was- I'd give him six figs, but not half a mil

This is not a dominant team- unlikely to win any conference hardware...however, this team is very capable of beating anybody on a given night. This is a year where the theme needs to be "get in" then win 4 games. Could easily parallel UMD's national title team with this one or DU's second title team in their b2b.

I don't think it's a forward depth issue...to me it's compete level and being hard to play against in the neutral zone and defensive zone.

Only works if you can pick a defender without interference and the guy you pass to can carry the puck into the zone cleanly with speed. im with you that you chip, F1 and F2 win a race and puck battle and get it back to the point to set up

So that wouldn't hit +/- either... the kid was on the ice for 7 goals scored...unfortunately 5 were by Miami... my starting point is the +/- stated by ogle torp, so I haven't validated anything via official source... a dman being out for 5 goals against has to be a record...maybe need to confirm against Lee and Finley...

Yikes...-3 with an even strength goal means he was out for 4 even strength Miami goals against?? i can't find the full box anywhere, but that means best case (assuming he was out for the first goal) is that he was on the ice for 3 of the 5 goals in the third, worst case he was out for all 4 even strength third period goals against... how many shifts does the bottom pair get in a period? Five?

We needed a timeout and there was no other way than a goalie change

Straight asassination

Whoever went after Jost needs a code red tomorrow

How do we have bad ice when it's subzero outside?

Awful

Not difficult to understand- my response is also nuanced. The nuance being while speaking positively of their program, I posted some facts reinforcing our greatness.

Since 03-04, Miami has only missed the NCAAs 3 times. They also made consecutive Frozen Four appearances in 2009 and 2010. So, while not a "dynasty" they have consistently been in the top 16 of college hockey. Knocking that performance is kinda petty- especially from the defending champs who've only missed the tourney once in 20 years, with 3 titles, and 11 frozen fours in that time period. Kinda like Brad Pitt dissing the local homecoming king...we're better than that.

This is something that had me perplexed for awhile. Evidently, the new line of thinking is to support rather than play the traditional position. In the circumstance you describe, the D is licensed to leave the front of the net to provide support to his partner. This passes the buck to the pivot to cover the front of the net or the wingers if its a dman sleeping down. I'm not sure how I feel about this, but support is being drilled into kids as superordinate to your position.
