UND is shooting - YES!

The announcers say UND must play with more urgency. Is that not something for every game???

Over the years, UND has had a lot of injuries during the course of training and game play. Has anyone openly discussed, what are some of the issues leading to those injuries? Are the amount of injuries both in practice and/or in game play what is expected as an average for teams in the NCAA? Or do these injuries rise above the average or below the average? This would make an interesting Master’s or Ph.D. Thesis. Plus it would provide instructive information to UND sport’s teams or the hockey team specifically.

If the captain is not able to play, do we have any forwards available?

What do we need to do to erase this pairwise game. How much will this haunt UND, in the end of the year pairwise.

We can not afford this tie.

We need the fave-off!

I was the first person at the first game to seat behind the goal right next to the goal judge at the Ralph. That was the first Ralph 1972. Crowd is important.

Where the heck is the crowd. Maybe we need a rink that only seats 2,000.

7 to 108 passes, oh so pretty passes, take some unexpected shots.

Let’s see an effective third period. Focus on getting to and controlling the puck. The other team knows how to play, respect that and focus.

Lets go north south. Not a blue line pass where two opponents were poaching.

Yes mix it up.

We need more focus on the game announcers and not colorful trivia.

RMorris is looking for the passes and trying to intercept those long square passes that UND uses to change the point of attack. We need more care in changing the point of attack because of RMorris quick counter attack.

I have a lot of respect for Strinden and feel he gets better every game.

It is essential for the team to sweep. There is a level of expectation that will be breached in the minds of the players, coaches, fans. Other teams will be observing that UND is beatable.

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.

UND needs to play this hard, and this focused, for the rest of the year. Once UND gets injured players back, this team can go the distance.

Always thought Schmaltz would be a sniper but it does not happen for him.

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.

UND players are tracking back much better.

Denver has a history of going down easy when they need goals.
