AZSIOUX Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Finally games that count! Friday should be interesting pending injuries/suspensions UND could dress 15 skaters compared to the usual 18. No Kristo all weekend, I hope both goalies get a start and Rocco dazzles Fri vs UAA Sat vs UAF did I read that there maybe was a hockey rink issue in Alaska?? I believe all these games are being played in Fairbanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I'm hoping for a split of the weekend. Beat Anchorage, and try and hold your own against Fairbanks. If Rowney isn't able to go on Saturday....ohh boy. I'm guessing we'll see a lot of what occurred last year. Chip it out, lock up the neutral zone, and only forecheck if you've got numbers going into the zone. I expect a guy like Grimaldi to be the difference. He'll log a ton of minutes this weekend.

Its not like we are going into Alaska with no one. I'm assuming Parks is unable to go, but Rowney is: here is what the lineups possibly could be for each night: For UAA Caggiula-Grimaldi-Gaarder Chyzyk--MacMillan-Gleason Pattyn-St. Clair-Rodwell Senkbeil-Sanderson Schmaltz-Forbort Mattson-Simpson Panzarella UAF O'Donnell-Knight-Grimaldi MacMillan-Rowney-Gleason Caggiula-St. Clair-Rodwell Chyzyk-Sanderson-Senkbeil Schmaltz-Forbort Mattson-MacWilliam Simpson We will still have effective forwards in the lineup. Grimaldi and MacMillan both need to have huge weekends. I think what saves us is goaltending, and that we still have a very deep and talented d-corps both nights, even with the suspensions.

I like your combos, although the coaches have said that Gleason will be on the blue line for likely the year. Now that I look at it Saturday should be okay. I think Clark Saunders plays and plays well on Friday. Could be the guy in both games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Hakstol saying that, I just kind of figured an exception can/will be made for this upcoming weekend due to the suspensions/injuries. I could see Panzarella moving up as well, he played a few games at forward last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

as15 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Um. When was that? Vs. Omaha he did for a game, and I want to say another in the home series against Wisconsin before they really settled on Gleason as a forward last year. I don't think its very hard for any d-man to step into a 4th line checking role, so it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility if Hak really wants Gleason at D.

as15 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Is Panzarella out for Saturday? Yes along with Gaarder, Pattyn and Kristo. Parks too if he is still hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patatoe Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Yes along with Gaarder, Pattyn and Kristo. Parks too if he is still hurt. Thanks...I didn't remember him... I knew there were other suspensions but was thinking that Kristo was the only one out on Saturday. I didn't realize they spread out the suspensions across both days.

I didn't realize they spread out the suspensions across both days. Yeah IIRC there were 3 different suspensions. The captains, then Gaarder, Pattyn, and Panzarella for something else with the party and then O'Donnell and Kristo for something unrelated to the party. O'Donnell, and the captains will sit Friday, Gaarder , Pattyn, Panzarella, and Kristo will sit Saturday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burd Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I kind of like the idea of role players once again having to take the oar, as long as it's for a weekend. Builds team strength. I'd also like to see a goalie stand on his head and steal a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianvf Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Fairbanks lost to Canisius tonight. I really hope that we can beat them, regardless of how depleted our lineup is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxforce19 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 On Friday night, we will get to see what basically our team will look like next year... kind of intriguing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Looking at the scores of the tournament up in Alaska makes a guy think UND should get two wins. Anchorage wins the tournament, and Canisius beats Fairbanks. Hmmm.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkster Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 This is the type of weekend where you hope/expect some new blood to step up and have a couple of breakout games. Great way for the lesser known ones to showcase what they've got and I doubt we'll be disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

collegehockeywatcher Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Looking at the scores of the tournament up in Alaska makes a guy think UND should get two wins. Anchorage wins the tournament, and Canisius beats Fairbanks. Hmmm.... ND will be missing Kristo, Knight, Rowney, O'Donnell, Parks and MacWilliam for UAA game. That's a lot of talent, experience and leadership missing. Not to mention that there will be very inexperienced players playing on special teams and perhaps in positions they are not used to. Also playing two men short of 18 skaters and in a time zone and rink they are not familiar with. The next night they will be playing the home team without Panzarella, Gaarder, Pattyn, Kristo and Parks, again playing shorthanded and missing the things that those players bring.

Snake Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 So what you're saying is you have UND in 2 blowout wins this weekend! Given what collegehockeywatcher has listed, I'd lean more towards "comfortable" wins rather than "blowouts." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

as15 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Wow. I guess I was banking on a sweep. Me too, with the depleted lineup we are putting out on Friday, we are still substantially more talented than UAA. Our goaltending will be good, the only d-man we don't have is MacWilliam. UAA is known for recruiting big players, which most of the time are slow. This is a perfect recipe for the little guy to dominate. I expect a multi-point game from him Friday, as he will be playing a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
