AZSIOUX Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Can't remember a CC team this bad. I'm guessing a loss would really hurt in the pairwise....sweep CC! UND 9-7-2 overall 5-5-0-0 NCHC 17th in pairwise CC 2-13-3 overall 2-5-3-1 NCHC 51st in pairwise First win came at home vs Umd first game of the season and a few series back they beat UNO in the springs. 3 ties coming against Scsu, UNO and DU Quote

runaroundsioux Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 It has been 20 years since they were this bad. In the 80's they were a doormat. So you're saying we have a chance? Maybe. Quote
smokey the cat Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 So you're saying we have a chance? Maybe. Maybe. But it could be quite telling what the rest of the season holds if they do not sweep CC. Quote
gfhockey Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 cant remember a UND team this bad. split! Quote
brianvf Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 cant remember a UND team this bad. I can. 01-02 was worse than this year's team. All that team had for scoring was Bayda, Skarperud, and a frosh Bucks. Quote
Oxbow6 Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 I can. 01-02 was worse than this year's team. All that team had for scoring was Bayda, Skarperud, and a frosh Bucks. Maybe...but barely and if Rocco doesn't play they are worse. Quote
bcblues Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Will Rocco play? Is he OK? I did not see the injury last night. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted January 5, 2014 Author Posted January 5, 2014 Will Rocco play? Is he OK? I did not see the injury last night. Sure hope he does! This team is already lacking finishers and playmakers. Rocco is 16% or so of the scoring for this team. May not seem much but when the team only has a total of 109 points that's a big chunk with the type of player he is. Rocco is at 17 points in 18 games. Next closest is the trio of cags, Johnson and parks at 11 each then dillon and schmaltz at 10 each. Points haven't been easy to produce including the 5 game win streak. 3 goals won four of the five and 4 goals in the other win. Zane and more solid D was a diference in those games. Sweep CC and sure hope 19 is good to go as he will be needed 46 of the 109 points for UND have come from the blueline. 13 goals and 33 assists SIMPSON 3-7 SCHMALTZ 2-8 LADUE 3-5 MATTSON 1-5 STECHER 1-5 AUSMUS 2-1 THOMPSON 1-2 Overall UND stats http://www.uscho.com/stats/team/north-dakota/mens-hockey/2013-2014/ NCHC UND stats http://www.uscho.com/stats/team/north-dakota/mens-hockey/2013-2014/#confstats Quote
Emerald joker Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 okay no talking about how bad a team's record is. Usually when we start doing that thats when the team beats the Sioux Quote
keikla Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Looking at the records, the Sioux 'should' beat CC. But CC always plays better against UND, UNO, and teams with a run-and-gun style of play (which typically matches CC's style); though UND hasn't exactly looked like a run-and-gun team this year. Quote
scpa0305 Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 We need a sweep bad this weekend. A loss against a terrible CC team will bury us. However the boys need to show up.... major motivational issues on this team, but its not like this is a surprise. Quote

Wilbur Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 This is HOPEFULLY a big step off the ledge weekend for many around Siouxland. How much did that group care that they were playing exhibition games up in Canada over the holiday break? If they really cared, and those two teams played them toe to toe while not playing like crap then it isn't a playoff season, bottom line. All teams have them, and we knew eventually the streak of NCAA tourney appearances would end. Schloss said it pretty well in one of his recaps. This team might have forgot that they have to outwork their opponents in just about every facet to win games. This weekend is a chance for them to win some people back. They have to go out there and win six periods and do it playing the way that got them a five game winning streak heading into the break. Not all will forgive them for going up and laying an egg in Canada, but I think getting a sweep at home may settle some folks down, albeit even if it is against the worst team in the league right now. 1 Quote
southpaw Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Looks like another year of sweating out the PWR rankings right up to the selection show...I love that. What? When has UND ever sweated it out up to the selection show? UND has never been a #4 seed in the current format (2002-2003 season). They've only been a three seed twice since that year (2003 & 2007). What sweating out has occurred? 1 Quote

The year Kristo's junior year I believe going into the Final Five it was questionable whether we would make it but we won the tourny and ended up as a one. Maybe we were just going to more than likely be a four seed I don't remember. Quote

They've only been a three seed twice since that year (2003 & 2007). What sweating out has occurred? I guess "up to the selection show" was a bad way to put it, only 2012 was sketchy until the WCHA playoffs. I was thinking more of the years we limped into the second half like 2010 with an average record and needing a big second half to get into the tournament, that's happened quite a bit lately and it looks like this could be another one of those years, hopefully the Hak second-half surge will come through again.

Godsmack Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 This season, I've attended most of CC's home games plus their road game at DU. They're a strange team-even in their losses, they've demonstrated they can hang with some of the top teams (Wisconsin, DU). And yet, in other losses, they've been blown out (Western, Duluth, New Hampshire). When you average under two goals a game, that puts a ton of pressure on goalie Josh Thorimbert to keep the team in it. Guys like Fejes, Krushelnyski and Skalbeck aren't producing goal-wise. That said, perhaps UND's lackluster performance up in Canada was in part due to playing down to their level of competition. I'm betting (and hoping) UND's compete level will be much better this weekend against CC. Despite CC's awful record, don't discount them-they always play UND tough. The UND/CC series is one of the more entertaining series for me as both typically play a very up-tempo style. Quote
Siouxmusic Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 We have got to sweep against a poor CC team at home. We need to position ourselves to be able to survive a couple road splits further down the schedule. Quote
scpa0305 Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Looks like another year of sweating out the PWR rankings right up to the selection show...I love that. Ha, you know it. Hak better get these boys going starting this coming weekend. Quote
siouxforcefans Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 We have got to sweep against a poor CC team at home. We need to position ourselves to be able to survive a couple road splits further down the schedule. My view, exactly. Quote
fsioux Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 What is up with O'Donnell, is he still hurt? Quote
Siouxman Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 What is up with O'Donnell, is he still hurt? He was not yet back to practice as of last week. Ausmus was practicing but held out of the games in BC. Quote
siouxweet Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 He was not yet back to practice as of last week. Ausmus was practicing but held out of the games in BC. is it still his hand? and was due to coming back to early? Quote
