Turnover Wilkie......WMU goal.

As he skated behind the net, I'm thinking he better drop pass it to the uncovered guys standing there. 

No? Turnover and 2-0? Awesome

That has been this team's breakout M.O. for years.  Up and off the glass.  Up and off the glass.  Up and off the glass.  Yet other teams are one, maybe two passes and their away to open ice.  So I don't think it's just JS...

He touched the puck three times his last two shifts...he immediately goes glass/boards and out.  Prior to looking to see if anyone is open.  I watch most games, this is different.  Usually they play like that when they are holding onto a lead. He's playing not to mess up rather than trying to create something, and in turn he's looking terrible.

I have to believe that every player wants to win every game....so the fact that we're being out played can't be pinned on lack of effort or wanting to win....they're just better than us. Maybe this team isn't in the upper echelon of hockey teams this year. And if it is because some players aren't in it 100% why are they at UND?

There you go.  Ever since we started playing top teams, it was clear we don't have the horses to expect success like we've seen in the past.   It doesn't mean the guys are lazy or don't care.   If we get in the tourney, maybe something good will happen, but just don't count on it.   And with the talent we lost from last year, nobody should be surprised.

Did anyone hear that idiot Bronco color guy characterize the short handed opportunity as UND "clobbering" the Western goalie behind his net just as the Ref was lecturing Western's goalie for purposely interfering with our guy's pursuit to the puck?!

[Snake]

Boy could we use our best PP of the year here...

[Oxbow6]

Most HS girls BB teams turn it over less then this squad

Starting to feel like Bjorkman teams in the 70s

If your last name starts with a "W" please follow Murphy to ASU

Hahaha love it! I wouldn't mind one bit. They probably wouldn't make the team 

[scpa0305]

Just a really lazy hockey team so far this year.  Just hoping we don't lose all the guys we're are supposed to.  Next year could be rougher than this year.

This is the worst puck management/protection I've seen in a long time from this team. We are terrible with the puck. 

I haven't seen puck (ball) control this bad since Wednesday's co-rec championship broomball game in Roseville MN!  Our opponents were awful - and Red Army made them pay for it!  Kinda like WMU is doing tonight. 

[bigskyvikes]

This webcast....My god! Is the WMU messing with us or does the NCHC just suck!!!?

 

Now it's showing earlier footage!!! WTF!

[GoalieMask]

UND needs a comeback or its a record of 1-8-1 this year vs teams that will finish in the top 3 in the conference.  

That just simply won't get it done. 

[Hawkster]

I'll say it again:   Remember the old days when we just sucked until Christmas and then went out and kicked ass and played hockey?   Or did I just dream that??????

[bcblues]

Hire Hak!

[sprig]

Wonder if we can beat Omaha next week.  They could score against wmu

[cberkas]

3-0 WMU

[bcblues]

Just kidding.  But it does make me wonder how much of Brad's success is based on the heals of Hak.

[cberkas]

3-1 Shane

[Oxbow6]

Gersich 3-1

.............just a tease

[bcblues]

CHrist, just how far behind iS NCHC.TV?  I might as well read the newspaper!

[OgieOgilthorpe]
