Really? 19 Freshmen and Sophomores on this roster. The last time we had a team that had at least 19 Freshmen and Sophomores on the team was......2001-02. Plus, that 2001-02 team (the last to not make the tournament) had 32 people on the roster, so they had 13 upperclassmen. This year we have 19 underclassmen out of a total of 26 on the roster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightingsioux4life Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Easy people, let's not turn on each other here. The team still has time to figure it out. But they better do that before the end of January. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scpa0305 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Luckily their schedule is tough. When they get Boeser, Jost and Shaw back they should get must better. A few wins here and their against higher PW teams should get them in...and that's all that matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like they just don't know when it will be healed, and I am not sure USA hockey will take the chance it will be. I'm not sure how close he is to being healed either though. Coach Berry said it's day-to-day in Saturday's post-game presser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to see UND doing well in the NCAA "mainstream sports" Do you mean that hockey is a regional niche sport? How enlightening....I had no idea...I guess I should quit being passionate about UND hockey and become a Yankees baseball fan...then I could be like more people...because my goal is to like whatever is most popular and not like anything that is less popular. i hope your post makes you feel better about yourself, because you clearly need attention and have some major underlying insecurity issues. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to see UND doing well in the NCAA "mainstream sports" Why does Minnesota try to market themselves as the "State of Hockey" then? Obviously not marketing geniuses, although you certainly know how that feels to be shortchanged in intellectual capacity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walsh Hall Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I really thought a Pogo, Gardner, whoever, line would be a dominant line and great compliment to the top time. With an added year I thought they would be as good or better than the "heavy line" from last year and be physically dominant. That just hasn't happen. Maybe Johnson should get more credit for last year. With the Boeser, Jost, Gersich line, and 3-4 lines that can at least hold serve, I see that second line as the big disappointment. No need to break up the top line if the 2nd is producing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone had said, there's two puck controlling high end talents and only one puck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion Boeser was moved to strengthen the 2nd line, and to get him going because they moved him when he was slumping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh......and why didn't you mention this a couple weeks ago before thousands of us bought tickets to the West Regional. That would have been helpful! I think you're still good. I have tickets myself. I just don't think this team missing the tournament would be considered a gross failure. As I pointed out, we simply haven't seen a roster like this were we have 19 freshmen and sophomores and only a handful of upperclassmen. I've always thought in the college game you can't overstate the difference that the physical strength and experience of a senior, or even junior, can make. We've all seen the differences in players like a Caggiula right on down to a Pattyn from their first season or two to the end of their college career. I think this team is going to be tough to beat come February and March. I think Poganski is playing much better. I love what I see from Wolanin. Cam Johnson seems to have put the early season games behind him and is playing big. We've played virtually the entire season without a healthy Boeser. Shaw has been in and out. It'd be nice to get off to a good start at Union, then put together a nice little conference run including some payback to Duluth and see where we go from there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
