Oxbow6 Posted November 11, 2016 Posted November 11, 2016 The PK and PP are weak at best right now. UND has been shutout in 2 of their last 3 games. UND is 0-3-1 in their last 4 games. They are giving up an average of 4 goals/game in their last 5 games. Taking all of this into account it add ups to a 3-2 UND win tonight. 1 Quote
UNDMOORHEAD Posted November 11, 2016 Posted November 11, 2016 Denver has been very good defensively, we will need to be as well to win. UND 2 DU 1 Quote
InHeavenThereIsNoBeer Posted November 11, 2016 Posted November 11, 2016 UND 4-3 tonight Jost, Boeser, Gardner, Pooly Quote
LakewoodSioux Posted November 11, 2016 Posted November 11, 2016 I can taste the 28 oz molsons and smell the roasted almonds from Denver. 3-2 Sioux in a nail biter 3 Quote
Siouxman Posted November 11, 2016 Posted November 11, 2016 I expect DU to sweep this weekend, but for UND to play well. DU is highly skilled and will challenge UMD for the NCHC title. This weekend will be the turning point for the team. I expect improved results beginning next weekend against St. Cloud. Unfortunately, that is the way that I see it. I could need new glasses though.

brianvf Posted November 11, 2016 Posted November 11, 2016 Is Gambrell back from injury for DU or is he still out? Quote

Feff Posted November 11, 2016 Posted November 11, 2016 Cam needs to be the best player on the ice this weekend but I think that's been some of the theme the past couple weekends and it's causing him to be too tight. At this point, there's too much pressure on Cam and it can be seen he's not the same as last year at this point. A bit out of position, giving up more rebounds, allowing some pretty soft goals. He just needs to relax and settle back in, the defense will eventually figure things out in front of him. Quote

It seems like they're starting to figure things out and make the proper adjustments (judging by Saturday's game against Minnesota) which is encouraging. Now if we can just start finding the back of the net! Quote

He just needs to relax and settle back in, the defense will eventually figure things out in front of him. I have to disagree. Cam proved last year in March and April that he can handle pressure. And we all knew last year that a huge part of our success was due to the defense, including goaltending and success at the offensive end of the ice. He just has a more difficult job this year because our young team has a lot to learn. Not rocket science. And there os no guarantee that the boys will reach a level where they are a threat in March. That's the way the game works. For everybody. I personally think they will be in the hunt, but I don't think they will just turn a switch. There are some difficult lessons ahead, IMO. The NCHC is too good to expect otherwise, and I wouldn't have it any other way, Quote

The NCHC is too good to expect otherwise, and I wouldn't have it any other way, Excellent observations and points. I'd also add that to your point about not just turning a switch, the NCHC I believe is better from top to bottom....look at Western and even CC as proof. Quote
siouxforcefans Posted November 12, 2016 Posted November 12, 2016 I'm very nervous about tonight. I expect Denver to have a lot of jump and come out with a "you ended our season" jump. I see a 3-3 tie, with UND winning the shootout 2-1 for the extra conference point. Quote
bcblues Posted November 12, 2016 Posted November 12, 2016 I would like to think that our offense will click and our defense will gel. I hope that it is a low scoring game, but I suspect it will not be. Having home ice, I think we will see a 3-2 win, maybe in OT. We cannot turn the puck over on the point. That has led to several soft goals in the past two weekends. And we need our PP to score. Cam, I think is OK. Sure he let in a few soft goals, but you can't stop them all. Our defense really needs to step up and gel. Quote
