Where are you getting these opinions from? Our power play is one of the better in the nation. Who’s divided? Denver isn’t a bad team, and there were mostly positives from the weekend.
UND’s Power Play is ranked third in the nation, and they're ranked third in goal scoring.

Strinden's open-ice hit, captured in the top picture above, might have been the best play of the game. That kind of play comes attached with a message.
I thought it was a great open-ice hit.

ESPNews showing hockey.
Checks notes: Alberta pro roller hockey league
Wait what.
ESPNews with some gems today: Corgi Races, Tire Wrestling, Wisconsin Auctioneers Championships (WTF), Coffin Wars, and Ball hockey.
Someone mentioned that if UND hockey were on ESPN, the program/league wouldn't make money. I believe that is true. I get ESPN/HULU/Disney for free with DirecTV, and I can watch a ton of hockey. I also have FloSports so that I can watch even more hockey. I wonder how much those leagues get for how watered down they are? I think NCHC.TV still has bad broadcasts, but even CC has improved this season. Now, if Western, Omaha, and Miami can improve their bad webcasts. One night earlier this hockey season, I asked Alex Heinert if Midco Sports would ever take over the NCHC.TV, and he didn't think so. I do like how CCHA is run, and when they produce broadcasts, they're very good. Honestly, the league is making money off NCHC.TV and I don't see them changing things up. I just wish they'd put their app on Google so we can watch league games on the smart TV without having to use a Roku.

There was a buzz in the arena last night. The place was hopping, and people seemed legitimately excited about this hockey team. I think this team could end up in Vegas. On a side note, I was shooting photos and got hit by a Keaton Verhoeff puck that was deflected into the stands. My first game puck.

This weekend will be one of the bigger tests the team has had this season
Anything less than a sweep is unacceptable.
I'd be happy with 4-of-6 points.

Main thing I noticed too, if you have a shot from the point with no potential of a screen don’t even take it. Need to do a way better job of taking Kaden’s eyes away
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.

There’s a new article from Schloss out on the Herald about CC. Citing advanced analytics which show their record should be better than it is. Expected goals for/against and such. I’m not much of a numbers guy but just using the eye test, I have seen how well the Tigers can play when they’re on their game. Consistency, however, has been their biggest concern and challenge.
Paging @Oxbow6 he loves XG's.

Part of that responsibility lies on the captain, who supposedly caused more problems than he solved.
I think some coaches would’ve kicked him off the team.

21 hours ago, hockeytherapy13 said:You can't be serious. Do you really not see a change or are you just upset that we've had some mental lapses here and there? There is a remarkable difference in the way this team plays compared to the past 4ish years. They find a way to score first almost every game and even most of the games they don't score first, they get the goal back in short order. When they are up by 1 they look like a team that is down by 2. Even when they are up by 2-3 They don't sit back and hold the line, they keep forechecking hard and often build their lead. The identity of this team is light years away from what we saw the last few seasons
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.

Did some sort of 'cancer' manifest in the BU room this fall?
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.
