I get it, they're good, but why are we expected to take a step back? Other than "they're coming in hot" (so are we), "they play us tough" (so do we to them and we are more talented) and "Bitzer is playing well" (so is Cam), what are the reasons that we shouldn't be sweeping Bemidji? Honestly, no disrespect to the Beavs, but what the heck?! sweeeeeep 1 Quote
SiouxTupa Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 I only remember glancing at it, but didn't Brad say UND hasn't swept Bemidji in 5 years? Either way, I'm basing my prediction on how UND played against a couple pretty bad teams. These early BSU games have been known to show UND what it takes to grind out wins. I'd love to see us push the pace and pop a few in early. But, if that does happen, don't expect BSU to quit early. UND will be the better team by year end, no question in my mind. Quote
siouxstudent Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 Looks like "Vegas" expects us to easily take care of business.... Bemidji State at North Dakota Fri 10/21 189 Bemidji State +375 8:30PM 190 North Dakota -565 Quote

Yes, but we've gone 7-2-3 against them in that span. Also, BSU hasn't exactly played darlings, this year, either. BGSU was picked to win the WCHA, but is 0-3-1. NMU has won once. Again, I'm not really trying to say BSU can't beat us, but I'm only saying we SHOULD sweep. Quote

UNDMOORHEAD Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 A quick start along with the first goal is very important against BSU. If they score first they'll make it very hard for us to get back in the game. Got to get a lead to keep them out of their defensive shell. Quote

UNDMOORHEAD Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 I think Yon will do well with the heavy line. Maybe the Euros can create some space for Wilkie to get his shot off. 1 Quote
bcblues Posted October 22, 2016 Posted October 22, 2016 Bemidji can be a real spoiler team. I agree with yolo that if we get off to a slow start and get behind, it could be a long night. Still, I predict we sweep, even if it a close one. Quote
KSSioux Posted October 22, 2016 Posted October 22, 2016 We just went from the "BOY" line, to the "SOS" line. Lots of changes. Quote
yzerman19 Posted October 22, 2016 Posted October 22, 2016 I actually really like these top 3 lines...Yon must be showing something in practice...wearing the 7 and now on the second line. Quote

I certainly won't be shocked if we drop one, I just don't think I should expect anything less than a win. Anything less than a sweep is unacceptable. Whew! I got that out of the way. Quote
