We Could Lose The Frozen Four On Faceoffs

We played well in almost all phases this weekend. The glaring deficiency was faceoffs. We got killed at the dot. That could pose a problem and could cost us a title.

I think Schloss had a stat saying we actually dominated face offs against st cloud

I thought I saw towards the end of the game that we were pretty solid again in faceoffs.

Stay out of the box. Don't make bonehead mistakes. Finally, keep a body on Eichel. Make him feel like he's wearing a North Dakota jersey. Do this, and I like the boys chances.

There should be a rule on this forum like other forums to clean up threads like this.

 

 

This is how this thread should have gone:

"We Could Lose The Frozen Four On Faceoffs"

 

Insert:  Information and reasoning behind why UND could lose a Frozen Four from faceoffs.  Include, and cite, pertinent statistical information and/or other useful information.

 

 

Instead, no reasoning at all was used, no stats to back it up, and false accusations about our most recent game.

Has the team struggled on faceoffs this year?

Also where are your stats and cited materials for your post. I'd prefer APA format so don't bring some weak MLA crap in here.

Well, playing devil's advocate (and in defense of geaux_sioux), the Sioux could of lost to St Cloud 1-0 if you recall how the fat dogs scored their only goal very early in the first period.  Face-offs may seem nit-noid in the big picture, but that's how we gave up our lone goal.  But overall, yes, great effort by the boys.     4 STRAIGHT = 8

Basically 50-50 is not good enough. There were a lot of important faceoffs lost this weekend. Every other phase was rock solid.

UND lost the faceoff battle to Quinnipiac 39-33, won the game 4-1.  UND won the faceoff battle with St Cloud State 38-28, won the game 4-1.  Does that prove your point?  There are a lot of different factors that could decide a game.  That includes a fluke goal, several of which were scored this weekend in UND games and in other games.

The point that I'm making with this is that the one weakness of this very well rounded team is that they don't have 4 guys that can consistsntly win faceoffs like we've had in the past. If we get a lot of penalties in Boston, we play BU in their home town, it could bite us in the ass on the pk.

To me it matters more of what the players do immediately after the faceoff. If you win the faceoff and ring the puck around the boards and the other team gets the puck. Did it really matter that you won the faceoff? The St. Cloud goal was because Ausmus didn't take his man of the faceoff.
