siouxhockeyfan11 Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 We should have seen them tonight Should have seen Rodwell tonight?? Like the guy who is allergic to the puck being on his stick? Quote
OETKB Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Wow - when did St. Cloud State get better than us? When did SCSU's coaching get better than UND's ? UND has more raw talent, but SCSU has a better performing team. Quote
scpa0305 Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Wow - when did St. Cloud State get better than us? They've been better for the past year or so. Quote
Godsmack Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Alright, took my deep breath.....thoughts: ~Listening to post game interviews they're talking about UND only playing 55 minutes.....boy I'd say it was more like 45 minutes or so. ~Nothing Zane could do on any of the goals. All goals were defensive breakdowns. Thought he was solid. ~I thought SCSU's defense would be a little softer without Jensen, but they seem like they didn't miss a beat without him. Very tough in their own end. ~I'm glad that UND didn't tie the game at the end. Did not deserve any points or chance for points while SCSU was the more inspired team. ~I think we all know who needs to watch in a suite tomorrow evening. Is it true that UND employs the radio announcers? If so, it's no wonder Hennessy carries water for the team. Quote
siouxhockeyfan11 Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 One thing though. what the hell is MitchMac doing on the powerplay? I don't often question coaches but i didn't realize he was playing until midway thru the second period Quote
siouxhockeyfan11 Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 When did SCSU's coaching get better than UND's ? UND has more raw talent, but SCSU has a better performing team. in this i assume raw=young? that doesn't constitute their coaching being better than UND's. Quote
bcblues Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Wow - when did St. Cloud State get better than us? Since about 9:15 tonight.... Quote
Irish Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 One thing though. what the hell is MitchMac doing on the powerplay? I don't often question coaches but i didn't realize he was playing until midway thru the second period What power play? Saw them skate around for 2 minutes a couple of times but that's about it.

scpa0305 Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 in this i assume raw=young? that doesn't constitute their coaching being better than UND's. Motzko is a great coach, he pulled in vanek at um which pretty much won two nattys, I would say he has out coached Hak. Given the opportunities our university would bring I would think he would do just fine coaching a similar program as ours. Quote
OETKB Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 in this i assume raw=young? that doesn't constitute their coaching being better than UND's. Another sore spot with me is the "young" label. UND has 11 upperclassmen. That has to be average among college teams. The "young" label just means the coaches have not done a great job of landing players at UND lately, which is why I suspect Eades was let go. However, in all fairness, this is not a "young" team.

Wilbur Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 The coaching staff knows much more than I ever will about the game. Three guys who all played at the college level, and some NHL experience in there as well. But I have absolutely no idea what they see in #25. And why you have guys like #17 and #11 sitting in the stands watching. I'll walk away from the edge, and have faith that this team will get better as the months progress, as they have every year.

scpa0305 Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Is the correct answer to #5 Schmaltz? Probably not. Quote
bcblues Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Hak usually takes until the Christmas break to get his teams rolling. The season is far too young to worry too much. We just CANNOT get swept by the Huskies. Nope. Quote
Boogieman Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Probably not. I know it's probably not, but he was BRUTAL tonight... Quote
OETKB Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Hak usually takes until the Christmas break to get his teams rolling. The season is far too young to worry too much. We just CANNOT get swept by the Huskies. Nope. If they play as poorly as tonight , they get swept. Plain and simple - got outperformed. A shame, really. Quote

Well this is stupid. Young is having a boat load of freshman, sorry that's a sore spot for you. Having 3 seniors means that the team isn't "old". There are a lot of young players playing key roles. Also, Eades wasn't let go because of results on the ice Quote
Irish Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 I just don't see enough firepower with this group this year - I feel the defense will mold into a great group but I don't see a lot of scorers. I am also somewhat disappointed that we are in the second year of this goalie tandem and neither one has stepped foreward to be the guy (even though Gothberg seems to have the edge). Quote
Wilbur Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Is the correct answer to #5 Schmaltz? He can sit next to Mattson. But I don't think Thompson won't get thrown into the fire against SCSU. Panzarella should be in uniform tomorrow. Quote
Godsmack Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 And if this night couldn't have gotten worse, DU just tied it up with four minutes to play. 2-2 vs. Omaha. Quote

Beside the Saturday Miami game gothberg has been fine. The problem has been with our lineup/line combinations. Quote
Siouxray Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Should have seen Rodwell tonight?? Like the guy who is allergic to the puck being on his stick? like the guy who is quick to the net and can uses a bit of grit and grime to get the puck in. Hasn't really had much of a chance this year. Quote

There are a lot of young players playing key roles. Also, Eades wasn't let go because of results on the ice I'm not going to get sucked into an argument with anyone. However, the idea that UND is "young" is a fantasy. Almost all of the freshmen may be playing every night, but that just means that the recruiting in recent years was a bust. But, that does not erase the fact that UND has 11 upper classmen, most of whom are playing nightly. Quote
siouxhockeyfan11 Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 (edited) I'm not going to get sucked into an argument with anyone. However, the idea that UND is "young" is a fantasy. Almost all of the freshmen may be playing every night, but that just means that the recruiting in recent years was a bust. But, that does not erase the fact that UND has 11 upper classmen, most of whom are playing nightly. Like Rodwell? Panzarella? Saunders? 3 of those upperclassmen don't play. It is your statement that is a fantasy, not mine. And recruit wise? Blame the coaches for Matteau and Miller not keeping their word? sure seems fair, why not Edited November 2, 2013 by siouxhockeyfan11 Quote
