A sweep keeps UND afloat. A loss......well.

Not expecting much other than having fun watching live hockey.

[cberkas]

UND is getting swept.

If they play a full 60 they don't get swept, but they can't play a full 60.

UNO had probably their worst goaltending weekend all season in both games against UND.  I don't expect that to happen again.

I predict much closer games, but I think UND is capable of taking 1 or 2 wins this weekend.  They are a better team than UNO, but will they actually win the games, or will it be a couple more "moral victories" after playing well?

If they can manage to scrape out a win or two, they could pass SCSU in the NCHC which has a much tougher opponent in DU.

.........but SCSU ends with CC at home. It's their home ice to lose.

Hoping to reverse the trend of 0-2-1 record this year when I attend Friday games.  

Gotta have these both and now we need to start pulling for St Cloud, Ohio State, and others to start losing.

Actually think we sweep UNO we seem to have their number

Can the Wilkie fiasco please end? If Bowen or Yon are healthy he needs to sit.........for the rest of the year.

Wilkie has more points then both of them.

You know hockey..........you think that stat tells the whole story? 

I know you have watched all 3 play numerous times this season.

On the plus side...another loss or two and I can perhaps consider some tickets for the @ St Cloud State first round of the playoffs!

I want to be hopeful about Wilkie but that turnover he made last night was inexcusable. I was yelling at him the whole time he was skating behind the net with the puck with guys all over him. Needed to get rid of so much sooner.

And while I'm pissing and moaning, is anyone getting sick of 16's backhand passes? He's a special player but IMO he's gotten really careless with these and it's costing us offensive zone possession or leading to a costly turnover.

I think UND HAS to sweep their last 2 series and SCSU has to loose 2 of their last 4 to get UND home ice for the playoffs, I honestly don't see that happening. If UND gets home ice I see them playing SCSU, not sure I see UND taking 2 games

Posted the same about Wilkie last night. I've felt he can get one and start to roll, but that TO was horrid.

My issue with Brock is he always seems to be chasing a guy back on D, trying to hook him.

Not sure what's going on with him. When he shoots, it's blocked. When he seems to have an open shot, he passes.

UND needs one more win than SCSU in the final 4 game being 2 points behind.

Correct, or if they tie won't UND have the tiebreaker?
