The four losses included two in overtime and two trailing by one late in the third, until empty netters put them away. The leads coughed up, and the inability to finish, have been real factors and I understand they can't be ignored. But it's also true that they played very good teams Denver and St. Cloud to regulation draws in four out of four games. They certainly deserved a better fate tonight, as did the aching goalposts. What happens if they continue to play well, and actually catch a break? Maybe a tight game falls the right way for once. Or twice. Agree with a lot of what you say and I too think they have a chance to make a little run given they have all their guys healthy. But three of those games (Omaha and Miami) were against putrid defenses and we looked about as bad as a college team gets. Quote
Oxbow6 Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 The amount of great scoring chances this weekend for UND was ridiculous which is a plus. The negative is the overall inability to put the puck in the back of the net. Last night should have been 4-0 after one period if not for an early whistle, 3 pipes and a couple other point blank chances. Quote

If I didn't watch the game I probably wouldn't believe we generated that many great chances. Played pretty well for most of the game, really just a terrible about 10 minutes in the 3rd period but that was enough to keep us from a win. Happy this team will get to host Omaha next weekend but definitely disappointed we were unable to get the win and that has been the feeling far too often this season hopefully that changes starting next weekend. Agreed. At the the day I thought this team played well both nights, but when looking at it, Friday they were still torched by defensive lapses and last night they still coughed up a two goal lead heading into the third (which should NEVER happen). This still still scares me. Quote
Wilbur Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 Not a good weekend for Sullivan. Just watched last night on DVR....scary. Send him to Duluth next weekend or D3 also an option. 1 Quote

Although it has been frustrating, this team can match up with anybody when healthy. The Denver and St. Cloud series were toe to toe. Have to play the entire 60 minutes and quit taking stupid penalties. Quote

Omaha is higher than UND now in Pairwise - does a series win by UND leapfrog/eliminate them? Or could Omaha still finish higher than UND if, say, UND loses a semifinal in St Paul? If we don't sweep UNO, they will pass us back without a win in st Paul. https://collegehockeyranked.com/tools/pwrcalculator/ Quote
franchise Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 If they don't blow to 2 goal lead to UMD and the 3 goal lead to Miami...sitting at 9th. Ugh Quote
SIOUXELEVENS Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 So we’re Hoff and Peski injured Friday? They both seemed to play well then scratched on Sat. night. Should we put out an APB for Adams, something strange about these line ups. I know #10 and #11 are seniors but what to they bring to the table over the others, I don’t get it. 1 Quote

What gets me is a kid like Jon Lizotte for SCSU grew up in the shadows of the Ralph and all we hear about is “his skating is bad....he can’t skate....he won’t play at UND.” So he goes to SCSU and plays most of his games on an Olympic rink (not a good place for a poor skating defenseman) and is a key contributor for them and also a captain his junior season....(All Academic team too....) I’ll stop there. Glad local kids like he and Benson are having success elsewhere. Quote

Have to think at least Hoff was dinged up. Hopefully day-to-day. No idea about Adams not playing the entire weekend. I thought Peski was playing solid hockey so maybe something there too. Quote

I remember watching him at Red River and he had everything else but the skating was definitely a huge questionmark at the time but he put the work in and improved it at the junior level and it has paid off for him.

Which is why most questioned the women's philosophy considering their finances. Quote

SIOUXELEVENS Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 Well if that got him benched then Basts three penalties which caused two goals one the game winner should have put him all the shelf. Quote
burd Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 Looks like the game is starting to slow down a little for Kawaguchi. Quote
