  1. I think there's been a major improvement in offensive play from the Defense. How often have we seen this much blue line scoring and getting pucks on net? They're not trying to shoot it through the net every time...just getting any shot on net. But in their number one responsibility zone, they have been pretty weak. Defensive zone coverage is weak across the board, though, forwards included. The team was standing around in the d-zone right from the puck drop tonight. The dogs looked like a team that really wants to win their first league game.

  2. There was a large chunk of the 3rd period when UND was controlling the puck deep in BU's zone and generating some scoring chances. This includes shortly before the tying goal. The fact that they couldn't bury them is a bigger reason they lost. When the puck was in the Sioux D zone, they were trying to get it out quickly. Gleason made a bad mistake not clearing when he could've, and it snowballed from there.

  3. This will be an excellent learning tool. A team that plays a very aggressive game on the big ice, and isn't afraid to throw the body. It's the way UND can and should play, once they have all of their players in the lineup and on the same page. Fairbanks played a pretty good game, limited mistakes, and deserved to win that one.

  4. Yeah, Tech was outrageously opportunistic in that game I think all but one of their goals was off the rush, and most on odd-man attempts. Some very nice goals.

    Good to see UND get out to the early lead. Defense and speed are the difference so far. UND getting to the loose pucks and keeping the pressure away from Saunders.

  5. I just moved to Rapid City and switched from DTV to Midco. I thought the picture quality for both games was worse than I saw on FCS via DTV. It wasn't terrible, just soft when viewed from the center ice cam. When zoomed in or from other cams it looks ok. I guess I'm disappointed as I was hoping for an improvement after the move.

  6. Funny. Visors have been the norm for junior and MJ, and Euro teams for years. Parise went from cage to a visor in the pros, and the Olympics, and his biggest injury, so far has been a torn mensicus. Wonder why the NHL doesn't mandate shields/cages for its prized assets? Probably because everybody knows if their sticks or elbows go up, they can get the same medicine. Then again, you think the players should be bubble wrapped and they use a foam puck.

    "Get a clue". Pretty funny shiat from a spectator.

    Interesting you bring up Parise... http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/32453828/ns/sports-nhl/

    Considering the teeth he lost were fake, I'd wager that he's been hit in the face more than once.
