Very true, I lean towards und being very aware of what their opponent can do if we don't play well, however, stats don't lie.
I'm calling a 4-3 und win. Hopefully the boys can score first and stay out of the box.
To me it was the timing of his initial post. It was literally right after we had won Sunday night. He new UND fans were excited about the victory (even though the team played poorly) and he decided to post something negative (that many of us were thinking anyway). The timing wasn't very classy if you ask me. I would never post something on GPL after the gopher loss to Michigan Saturday night attempting to piss people off. Had he waited a day or two to chime in I wouldn't have cared....I simply understood what he was trying to do, it was very obvious. Typically his posts aren't bad though.
I don't disagree that und looked bad last week, however I don't appreciate the trolling by gopher fans. You are right, CC is terrible and we made some terrible mistakes in our own zone. We'll have to shore that up come Friday night.
Come on. You're going to pull the thin skinned comment? You rarely post here all year long then you decide to add a comment to your rivals forum immediately after we win a game to advance to our conference tourney noting that you think we will lose our first game? That's a troll buddy. We all know there is a chance we could lose...it's hockey. I would never head over to GPL posting that type of garbage...why? Because i do have some sort of life and I would never want to stir up commotion on their forum. You knew exactly what you were doing. It's the same stuff gfhockey does with a little formality sprinkled on top. You were looking to stir the pot. Go bug your wife/gf/partner if your looking for some drama.
McKay (I believe) is a solid goalie....their team has simply had such bad luck this year. Losing can get contagious. I think Miami is a very solid team, und has to play a full 60 this Friday.
I do see you were talking about injuries....McKay was not one of them.
Their D was about as bad as a team D gets at this level. They were flying a man on the penalty kill. It should have been 6-3 or 7-3 easy even with the checked out second. This team better pull themselves together before Friday.
I think motivation and preparedness do have something to do with them being 0-3 in big games. You are correct though, thy are lacking some experienced forwards to consistently produce. I still think this team is very good, they'll roll CC tonight. Anyone know what happens if we win tonight then only win once next weekend?
