No Ausmus either...

Goon is changing his toon. I just got this text from him..."anything less than a split is unacceptable".

[Wilbur]

No Jost means a guy like Wilkie has got to step up.  No more snake bit excuses.  He will likely get the chance to be in the top six forwards, so he needs to get on the score sheet.  

Tucker Poolman likely to see 30 plus minutes each night.  Big weekend for the three Freshman defensemen as well.

It just blows me away that a natural goal scorer like Wilkie has not even scored a single goal this season. 

[Vegas_Sioux]

maybe we need to apply this approach

Wilkie is at this point he is who he is as a college player. Gardner needs to figure it out soon.

I'd put the Euros with Boeser at wing and move Gardner to top centering line.

After the layup he missed Saturday, I don't think Wilkie could score if his hair was on fire.

[Oxbow6]

Nick and Drake scored last night. Any chance they could fill in for Jost and Ausmus tonight?

Can't believe the amount of space they gave Nick on that one. 

[cowboys5xsbs]

Man losing Jost and Gage for this game is gonna suck.  Please step up Boesser.

[burd]

I know CC has not played well most weekends, but what is the best part of their game.  In the past, you could always expect some explosiveness from their offense.

As a guy I know likes to say, " ... couldn't score with a twenty-dollar bill in a two-dollar whore house."

No. The whole team needs to step up. What I saw last weekend is a team golfing in late March.

I'll single out 4 guys specifically for this weekend..........Boeser, Wilkie, Gardner and Wolanin.  Now Boeser has been hurt but at some point "quality" players need to start playing to their potential.

[UNDHawks4life]

The hawks need to sweep this weekend and they need to be convincing victories (4+ goals). Besser seems like he isnt a two way player and needs to play on both ends of the arena in my opinion. Go Fighting hawks!!! 

[southpaw]

Don't be surprised if Tomek or Hrynkiw get at least one start this weekend. Cam has been dealing with an injury.

How about UND puts out a list of players that are healthy.............that list would be shorter.

So why has be been playing (and the answer had better not include words about a damned consecutive starts streak). 

[Godsmack]

Mason Bergh is really good and Trey Bradley will be back for the first time in over two months. CC won't be as much of a pushover as they have in recent years. That said, they've been difficult to watch at home this season.

A little over half way through his soph season?  Come one.  I'm not saying he is ever going to light the world on fire but your comment is beyond premature.

Cam has been great for us over the last 2 years, but injury or the possibility of it is precisely why Hrynkiw or Tomek should have been getting some starts. 

My opinion, but I have to admit I trust our coaches' opinions a lot more.

......many were saying the same thing about Murphy.

If you are a "goal scorer" and have that label you should be able to at least finish the open net tap in from last Saturday right before the end of the 2nd period.  Wilkie has played in 54 collegiate games.......5 goals total and 2 of those goals came in one game. So............he has 3 goals in the other 53 games.  Premature? Hardly. Bowen has 4 goals in 24 games and he didn't come in as a "goal scorer".  If Wilkie scores from here on out it's a bonus. Gardner, Boesser, JJ, Pogo Gersich are some of the guys that need to produce this weekend for this team to win.

Murphy didnt stay long enough.  I also heard his work ethic was terrible.....rubbed the coaches the wrong way.  Murphy has 18 pts in 27 games for a terrible ASU team.  I'd take that right now.

Drake's goal was an effort goal that has been sadly lacking this year, one that starts all the way on the defensive end and pays out with a great finish.
