scpa0305 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Last night was pretty disappointing giving up all those leads and getting destroyed in puck possession. But on the flip side they didn't lose. They really need to figure out their special teams play in the worst way. 5 on 5 their fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty crazy when you think about the Goohers only scoring on man advantages. They suck. We had a lot of leads which is great but who is the cold blooded killer on our team? Who is the Stetcher? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gophs are built for the big ice....they are also built to play early in the season when the refs blow the whistle every two minutes. As the season progresses the refs swallow their whistles more and the gophs typically come back to earth. The gophs are a very good team that underwhelms a lot. Not last night though. They looked good. I think ausmus is hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodakgirl93 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 So 2 of the 3 3rd period goals were rebounds or the puck was just loose , in the slot. And the 3rd was a one timer. All three beat best him short side. 2 blocker and one glove. I don't think cam can be faulted for those. Obviously rebounds need to be eliminated but last year's core was very good about clearing those. Curious on how many blocked shots and shot attempts for the total last night. 5 on 5 play shots were 23-19 per Brad. I like our chances tonight at even strength.

SiouxSherm94 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 There's not one good excuse out there for our level of play last night. It was a good start, but the slop is the reason that we were unable to hold a consistent lead through the full 60 minutes. I've said it, you've said it, we've all said it- our defense as a WHOLE has a lot of work to do. Even Tuck slipped up last night. We have captains not honing the leadership that's expected out of them, and when the boys hold themselves to a lower level of accountability, this is the result. It's not a loss. But it's not a win either. I don't know about you guys, but when I see the word unbeaten it drives me nuts. Great, we haven't given up a loss yet in non-conference play but being referred to as unbeaten makes me cringe. We need a much better effort. If last night's tie wasn't enough to get the boys on the horse tonight, it'll be another week of much needed GRIND in the Ralph before we have Denver come in. For all we know we'll be seeing a much better team out of them than we are the U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geaux_sioux Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Jost's celebration was a boarder line a Gopher one. Maybe Oshie should come and teach him how to celebrate like he did for Kristo in that episode of Brad Miller Time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feff Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 UND is offensively good enough that most nights they should be able to compete with anyone. It's the defense holding them back right now and that will come with time. UND lost a lot defensively, not just with Stecher, Ladue, Thompson, but with the losses of forwards like Caggiula, Schmaltz, and Chyzyk that were very skilled defensively. Team defense will take some time but come second half of the season I feel confident that this team can build some steam. Early season there will be growing pains. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard from sources close to Tomek's thinking that he is will be gone by Christmas. Too bad we never got a chance to see him play. Glad he leaves with a ring though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sioux Hawky Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I saw a goalie last night that was to lazy to get off his knees. Was slow to get into position from a cross ice pass because he was on his knees before the first shot even. Reminded me of Lamaroix and Eidsness when the shooter would blink and they'd drop to their knees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't think Hakstol would do that Guaranteed it's not Hak. If he hasn't played in college games, there's no way they'd pull him up. Especially with three years (two years playing) of eligibility remaining after this season. I hate to see these rumors fly with Matej knowing how highly touted he was coming into our school. Injuries set athletes back though. If he's gotta pull a Senkbeil, let him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he did. He did the same thing wheeler did. And jost touched the ice for a second with his glove, didn't ever wipe the ice with it. Goon put up the highlights you may want to watch them again. His cele was very similar to Drakes second goal against Denver in the semis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The importance of that goal made the celebration less important but I feel the same way. That's just not how we do things here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying there is a UND way to celebrate no matter how big the goal is and he didn't follow that. We don't pop jerseys and we don't rub the ice on one knee.
