UND looks great for moments. Then making dumb situational awareness decisions. Need their head on a swivel. Where is our pressure. They bring and we get a penalty. And they turn, fire, and score.

We are shooting. UND is making quicker decisions. Putting the puck on the net. Let our players who were recruited for skill and scoring, use those skills and create chaos.

Nervous - not sure the team we will get tonight.

That used to be a major area of strength for UND.

UND this year has visited so many posts that UND should call the location where the game pucks are - the Kennel.

Question what will UND’s energy level be at the start of the next period?

They need to handle garbage that comes off other players.

How does it compare with last week and Jammer?

Emery is very talented but he still has things to learn and improve.

What we had from Mac was “a failure to elevate”.

Sleeping on the transitions. No reason for this type of relaxed play. The ice is not tilting. The effort is tilted. They came out shooting and UND came out looking.

One period in and UND is showing discipline play. This is what must happen every period, in every game for the rest of the year.

The slight loss of control by James could have caused Cameron Rowe to cheat or lean to his right and James nailed it left.

Nice seeing Mac Swanson with Cameron Berg and Jayden Perron. Let’s see how this works out.

Curious on the role of official: When the stick was broken and laid at the top of the zone. Can a linesman leave their line when play is at the other end of the ice and clear the stuck? I noticed when play came back down the ice, the stick was gone.

They need to be on an edge.

Black is back. Wear it again.

Getting sick of refs playing in the game.

There should have been a 4x4 rather than a goal. Powers played the refs and failed to give the penalty to the sunevils.

No penalty for holding UND player down behind the net.

All this period, I was expecting a lot of penalties to be given to UND and expected to see a five-minute. Well not surprised.

Looked like Hobie was on his way to marking his territory as a, “go to goalie”. Then…

Hobie must be thinking that play over and over in his head. That play is a prescient reminder of all those lazy and thoughtless plays of UND that has ended up on the opponents sticks this year.

Reminds me of the goal by Boeser the goalie shot off Borser butt, in the National.
