We just need to finish.
And close up our D.
No doubt.
-
Pretty disappointing start to the season. These guys need to buckle down and take care of business.
-
We finally get our overall D to play UND hockey then the "hot goalie" is going to bite us in the a**!
Haha me and some buddies were just saying the same thing....I'm feeling a huge third! We have to blow somebody out sooner or later.

Yes, I recall Hakstol saying that in a pregame interview, as well. He said that the forwards have a lot of responisbility to get their feet moving and make themselves available for breakout passes.

Yes, I saw goon's edit.

The only one I see leaving early is Bjugstad
Schmidt's gone, Budish should be gone. Haula shouldn't.

No, Brad Berry is a well respected and great defensive coach... I don't see anything to be concerned about... Hakstol has already said the reason that UND is facing so many shots is that the forwards are getting back as he would like.
Not being critical whatsoever, but what do you mean by that comment?
-
If I may play devil's advocate here, Mike Guentzel was away from the Gopher program for 5 years but he made an immediate and obvious difference in the Gophers D last year. So if UND's defensive unit isn't performing up to par yet than I think Sioux fans have a right to be concerned and even critical of Berry up to this point.
I don't agree with you at all....Berry is not only an outstanding recruiter but also a great coach. It is not his fault the D (and O, in their own zone) are playing subpar so far this year (yes, I'm expecting some dumb comment from the passhappy guy).

Then Portland came out and responded to the charges and then were fined 25,000.00.
Haha

Forget the fine. What happened to their future drafts is going to hurt them for a real long time.
Agreed.

Portland Winterhawks hit hard with penalties for a series of "player benefit violations"

It's nice to see the CHL cracking down on illegal recruiting tactics by some teams
Just read that on TSN....big time fine!
-
Keaton should be able to finish school this year and play for UND next year....he is ready. Agree on the McCoshen loss...that was a big one. When it was taking him so long to decide it didn't surprise me he picked a school which wasn't on his initial list of schools. He must not have been convinced before.
-
Sioux stay at #7 (USCHO)....hopefully we take 4 against CC this week.
-
I don't care if people are unhappy about things, but there's been a consistent trend with this guy where all he does is talk trash about UND and then he makes sure to tack on the standard, "I think they will get better", "I love the Sioux sooooo much, but" or whatever it is to make himself sound reasonable.
This is the same guy that said we were the worst defensive team in the country and we have been outplayed in all but one game this year and that Andrew MacWilliam is an uncontrollable thug that Hakstol is afraid of, or something.
Like I said earlier, I think this guy is a "concern troll" that hates UND.
Calm down buddy. I am no troll nor do I hate UND. You tend to sound off quite frequently too I might add. I simply was saying the team has not been playing up to its potential...which is obviously true. End of topic.
-
You mad because I saw through your little game?
Then, don't be so obvious next time.
I have no idea what you are referring to. -
I think UND will sweep Colorado College, Thorimbert hasn't looked good this season, Howe who I believe is the better of the two goalies has looked bad also. If Zane plays this weekend give him the start Friday and Clarke the start Saterday.
I'm calling sweep as well.
-
haha. get a grip. Andrew MacWilliam is a good guy and he plays physical, but totally honest and clean hockey.
Stop painting this picture that he's a monster. Save that for Gopher Puck Live.
your shtick is getting tiresome.....
Yes I know....but the penalties he is taking this year are terrible. I know they will turn it around come January but so far it has been tough to watch. FYI...I'm not a goph fan. Classy reply however.
-
I am glad that Coach Hakstol doesn't rely on SS to make decisions on players. Mac is a good defenseman and respected team member in the lockerroom and on the ice.
No doubt...I know he is good. Probably should have waited until the morning to post anything. I'm just upset at the terrible timing of his penalties. The Anders Lee one was terrible.
-
Parks plays Sioux hockey. Pattyn plays Sioux hockey. Grimaldi plays Sioux hockey.
Kristo is the best player on the ice.
Something is up with Knight, because he is not playing like he is capable of playing.
MacMillan is very good offensively as well.
I have no complaints about Caggiula or St Clair- they are freshmen.
The biggest issue is we are getting pinned back in our own zone, we are not manning up well, and we are not transitioning well. Then we are dumping and chasing and failing to achieve the forecheck off dump and chase.
40 shots on goal is not SIoux hockey. Allowing that for a couple weeks straight is unacceptable. This is on the coaches right now.
Yes, you are 100% correct. ND was known for their D...not putting on 40 shot per game.
-
I'll take a shot at this based on years played at the college level, prodution coming into the season, their actual talent/skill set and hype.
For veterans that I think carry the water very night...Kristo, Simpson, Easy Mac and Forbort, Pattyn.
Those veterans who have played ok, but I know could play better...Mac, Mattson and Knight (he just doesn't seem himself especially when he played half of last season on one foot).
Veterans that need a really jump start...ODonnell, Rodwell, Gleason, Rowney...the 1st 2 have big time talent, but... The last 2 here are head scratchers for me.
Parks is a HUGE substraction from the lineup...our most physical forward IMO and a beast along the walls. He owns the puck down low.
1st year players show what they have got in streaks and all need to get more consistent but I like what I see in St. Clair, Cagguila, and Schmaltz.
Rocco is the wildcard...supreme talent, but 2 of 5 goals are in garbage time...ENG and last night's goal. Has hit a ton of pipes. Most electric player at UND since Spirko IMO. I think he is just misfit...Drake and Colton are good but not on his level. On an opposite wing with Danny and it's lights out. IF he really gets it going I think that is when this team turns the corner...unless defensively we play this way all year which I hope is not the case.
Somewhat agree besides the rodwell and odonnell talent comment. I was also thinking Rocco was going to be much better (yes I know it's early). Rowney has been almost non existent and while knight has been good, I thought this would be an absolute monster year for him as he averaged a point per game as a soph and he's still playing with kristo. I wouldn't talk down odonnell just yet, some of you thought he was the next coming of stafford but I figured he would simply be a solid role player. Rowney must figure it out.

It was a frustrating game but I don't think it was that bad. They actually played better tonight than they did last night.
Still a lot of pieces to pull together though...
Yes they did play better than last night as far as their offensive game goes. They must have had triple the scoring chances. Still....terrible timing of penalties (macw) and terrible own zone d by all 5 players. Also gothberg did let in 2 bad softies but all in all didn't play terrible. It's early.
-
Good win. Call me crazy, but I didn't think the play was terrible in our own zone. They gave up a lot of shots, but they kept the puck on the perimeter pretty well, and many of those shots were easy saves. Not to say Saunders didn't play extemely well--he did. But they played as well in the D zone as they did in the O zone, where they had very little extended possession. Kristo is really playing well in all phases of the game, including PK. I like that Mac is usually good for a few good hits, but the guy takes too many penalties that have nothing to do with big hits. But they got it done against a good team in their own rink--that's about all you can ask of them.
....we must not have been watching the same game. Agreed however on the big win. -
ND 36
UND 17
Have to take the win but also have to shore up in our own zone...it has been awful all year.
