Having the extra defenseman tonight helps with battling fatigue and allows more effort to get to the puck. The injuries have allowed game experience for other team-mates.
Yes we do not have hardly any shots this 3rd period. Why? UND player had team members tied up and they failed to put a shot on frame. Watch Denver and they are more likely to put a shot on frame causing garbage available to clean up.
The UND coaching staff is respected by many NHL teams for developing players. Having a quality player go to UND and in most cases the player has a better chance of playing at a professional level.
The team is moving together well and breaking out with speed and determination. The players are getting open. I am frustrated this year because I have loved in the past when Dylan James would bury pucks on a breakaway.
We have the team to go the distance but we need to get the team healthy plus get those injured, games so they can improve their learning curve for college hockey.
