NORTH DAKOTA @ Minnesota - FRIDAY Gameday ********

[cberkas]

Pathetic defensively for UND.

[Wilbur]

Defensive zone coverage.....my god....

5-5 tie......

[JohnboyND7]

Only caught the third period.  Hockey can be fun sometimes, this was a good example.

[UND1983]

Penalty kill is like a rigid box.  Can they move at all?  So easy for MN to do whatever they want with the puck

They should watch some tape from the 70s and 80s teams for how a team D should look.

Last years video would suffice.  Olson standing there with his thumb up his ass.  Just flipping pathetic D

Wow, who is reffing this shyte show, Hunt and Shep?

Seriously, it feels just like the old WCHA tonight.

[BigGreyAnt41]

What was it tonight, three dives?  Four?  Just rewatched Gardners and it definitely wasn't an elbow.

[Oxbow6]

No D 5v5 and our PK sucks too.

[Emerald joker]

No reason to even call the refs blind and they misssd this and that, they know exactly what the f*ck they're doing. So much f*cking diving

If refs are never held accountable for the bs calls they make this is the kind of hockey we will be watching.

[scpa0305]

Those goofs came back 4 times!

[bcblues]

Even though I bashed the officials (which they deserved), our defense really, really sucked.  Last weekend was the same.....

[BeazSioux]

Well, just as we knew after last weekend - lotta work for these boys to do.  On to the next.

[nodakgirl93]

Gates cele in front of the und fans was something. Really grow up. Thank god are players know not to show off.

[Fetch]

It was a tie

Nope, I'm not kidding.  I just watched the replay.  Gardner bumped into him as he skated by and moved his arm to push him away, but it wasn't an aggressive, violent contact.  Kloos (I think) just threw himself to the ice as though he was just shot in the head.  If what Gardner did was elbowing, then every faceoff would have an elbowing call because there's obvious contact between an elbow and an opposing player.

I agree, but those calls are deflating. Maybe a good learning experience for a young team.

We will know tomorrow 

[crb1]

Our defense really hangs Cam out to dry. He looks like a different goalie this year. 

[MafiaMan]

Well, on the plus side...

...U of M campus cops and Minneapolis PD can cancel the overtime requests for tonight.

No, I am talking about when you took your health into your hands by mixing it up in the corners.

You don't have to go that far back, just ask Wehrs. I miss that style of play.

[SiouxScore]

Offensively the guys got better as the game went making plays and being hard on the puck. Early it just seemed like too many guys were just looking to get rid of the puck and slap it anywhere instead of moving it to someone or just skating with it. The reffing was absolutely terrible. The B1G refs bought right into Minnesota's embellishment all night gifting them powerplays and they have a solid powerplay. The 14 minutes that they took Ausmus off the ice for in the 1st for something that maybe should have been a 2 minute penalty for him was pathetic and definitely hurt us big time. Lindgren is a guy who I think is gonna have some guys coming after him tomorrow night and I think he'll get exactly what he should.
