Yes it is.

The guys were too perimeter last night, they need to get to the blue paint and cause havoc in the slot.

I know this isn't going to be a popular opinion, but I texted @MafiaMan, and @Godsmack basically the same thing. I thought last night's game was exciting. Did we get the result we wanted, nope. However, I think that Spunar is the best goalie we've had since the 2019-20 team, when Adam Scheel was the goalie. I'd put him right back in tonight. UND is the better team than CC, they just need to bear down and take it.

Looks like MN Vikings math, too.

Paging @Oxbow6 he loves XG's.

I think some coaches would’ve kicked him off the team.

I think UND with all of the young players that they have, has done a good job closing out game that they would've found a way to lose last season. If you listen to the UND Podcast, Schloss brought up a point that I thought was really good. UND is wearing teams down, with their depth. I agree. I saw it again last weekend against Mercyhurst. They've lost one game in 13, that's not too bad. I don't think that UND has reached its full potential, yet.

Well, UND is minus three players from last season and isn't having the same problems this year. Make of that what you want.

UND senior forward Ellis Rickwood has been a great addition to the UND lineup. Upon is return to the lineup from injury, Rickwood has scored (2g-8a—10pts). This past weekend, he recorded (1g-5a—6pts) against Mercyhurst. http://dlvr.it/TQ8MLP

I went to both games this week. I think it's the first time I've witnessed a two-game winning streak in a while. This was a lot of fun to watch.

Here are a few photos from the first period of Friday's game. You can check out more pictures here -- UND beats Mercyhurst, 2-0 Thoughts and Images

Is $60,000-$65,000 a bit low for a assist coach?

Yes he is. Wonder why?

Smaby was a great hire by Dane.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

Maybe it's time for someone else to be the USA WJC coach.

@Administration There used to be a blog roll feed, but it has gone away. Maybe @jimdahl can put it back up?

Will Zellers had a great night.

This was posted on X, and I was thinking Will Zellers is on the fourth line?

Kleven was hurt tonight. Won't play tomorrow.

Here's a quote from the article. (Link)

The Athletic is a pay site, $71.99 a year. It's well worth it.

So, is the NCHC.

That's what I was alluding to. Until the B1G wins something in the modern world outside of a football championship, they will be second fiddle to the NCHC.

Yeah, because they've won so many titles in the last 12 seasons.
