NORTH DAKOTA vs. Gophers - FRIDAY Gameday

[SiouxScore]

Disappointed with the loss but pretty well played game. Got caught in transition a couple times and both ended up in the back of the net. Really dominated at times impressed with the zone time and how good the guys were along the boards. Finishing has to get better and we have to do a better job of getting shots through Minnesota blocked a ton tonight. Looking to tomorrow I would like to see Kiersted get back in maybe for Johnson. I really liked Bast's game and it is hard to see him coming out if he can play like he did tonight every night. Nothing really against Johnson just think Kiersted gives you a little more and is a better skater which would be valuable against a team like Minnesota. Up front seemed like a couple guys struggled tonight with the speed of the game wouldn't be surprised to see Yon in for Janatuinen.

That Michigan game is a very good reminder.

WTF?  Any other gut-wrenching losses you wanna discuss too?

Saw a lot of complaining about not being able to watch this game tonight.  I say:  true fans find a way.  Pay the small fee and stream the game!  SMH.

Guess I’m not a true fan.

That goes for UND and Gopher fans.  Why wouldn't you Pay?  Honest question.

I don't think we dominate as much tomorrow.  Have to find a way to get quality shots through.  Minnesota collapsed in front of the net and made it almost impossible.

I may have paid it but that annual fee is by no means small...radio stream is free though. 

[yzerman19]

we seriously allowed less than 20 shots and lost

[OETKB]

My one observation so far this season is that Pogo, Gersich & the experienced guys in general need to get going, or this is gonna be a loooong season.  Scoring 1 goal a game aint gonna get it done, and Cam is not capable of shutouts (he always seems to allow 1 or 2).  So, if we are not going to out-goaltend other teams, we better damn well get the offense going.

Why not watch though?  I don't get it.  Most have gone away from traditional tv.  Hulu, sling, Pluto, etc are so common.  Just don't get it.  I used to pay 10 bucks a game to watch a suspect feed back in the early 2000s.  It's a no brainer if you are a true fan.

[Wilbur]

Thoughts:

- Need Cam to make that save on goal #2.  Nice shot, but their goalie made those saves all night.

-Bast will be a regular.  Good guy to have healthy.

-Your 4th line can't be your best line.  They were tremendous, but you need your best players to be great in big games.

-Can't fault the effort.  Sucks to lose as always but any hockey fan knows those kids played their hearts out. 

[yzerman19]

You have to score 2 goals...period...less than that and you lose

And here we go...the "you're only a TRUE fan if..." argument.

[yzerman19]

have we ever lost a game where we gave up 16 shots on goal before????

[brianvf]

Pogo and Gersich have been non-existent so far this season.
This team won't go far if they don't start getting on the scoresheet.

I was already told we don't want to bring up any other gut-wrenching losses.

You do what I do, because I said so.

[cberkas]

Shaw needs to come up with a power play that works, these NHL style power plays don't work.

The power play looks too slow and players aren't hustling to the get the puck on the power play.

[BigGame]

That game makes reminds me of a lot of UND hockey games from the past.  Out play the opposing team but can't score mainly for two reasons, the other goalie is good and UND couldn't hit the net.  

[Fetch]

Always to slow to take that 1st step - lack of confidence or just dense ? But we're very similar - or should I say their not very good ?

The game was available to watch online. It would have been excruciating to not watch it...that is my point.  Why didn't you stream it?

It's funny I bought the NCHC subscription today but it was a pain in the ass to make it work.  For the money I paid it should be plug and play and not panic mode trying to make it work 30 minutes before game time.
