However this season ends, we have seen this program improve by leaps and bounds in a very short period of time. The future looks bright. It's a big improvement from the abyss we were staring into after the Frozen Faceoff semifinal loss back in March.
Schmidt knows he needs to fix the offense. If he thinks this is a good hire, I am inclined to believe him. If Danny ends up being Fruechte 2.0, I will not hesitate to call out Schmidt AND Danny for it.
That was the same UND team that crashed after clinching the Penrose. I don't see this UND team having the same results. I think 4 out of 6 points is very doable.
This UND team will be harder to shut down given all our depth at forward. But like any conference opponent, you can never underestimate your opposition.
