I was at the game tonight and while we had long stretches of zone time, we didn’t do anything with it. The shots we did put on net were either logo busters or the goalie had a clear view of them for easy saves. We don’t seem to have any creativity in the offensive zone and no finishers.

Since you were there, what else did you see...did they try to juggle the lines, or were they just jumbled up because of all the special teams play.  Did we have any net front presence?  Did we come out of the game healthy?  Did they look "off" from the beginning?

Well...and in other news. Look like Maine is going to go after Hak. I'd like to think he's going to stick around the NHL, but who knows. We could sure use his magic.

What's net front presence?  The point of the game is rack up as many shots from blue line and side boards as possible.

The bad news is, as far as I could tell, we came out healthy....which means we have the same team wearing green tomorrow.  The good news is

It’s too hard for me to say if lines get juggled or not but taking all those penalties didn’t help create any sort of continuity. My experience with Atlantic Hockey refs is that there’s always an element of home cookin’ but I’d admit we made it easy on them to call the penalties that they called on us. 

The first period was a bad indicator of things to come. We had zone time and very few shots to speak of. Very little in the way of good looks in between the hash marks. Credit Canisius for packing things in tight in front of their goalie.

Didn’t Gendron just sign an extension there last spring?

And in other hockey news, Ohio State and Michigan State skated to a 7-7 overtime tie. Has UND even scored 7 goals all season? :)

Like I mentioned above.  We have one forward with 10 or more points (he has 11).  We have five forwards with more than four points.  In January.

It's a process.

The last 3 years all summed up in one gif...

You don't just recover from losing the UCONN of women's hockey.

Keep in mind, that's points, not goals.  If those were goals, that pace is still probably the worst in who knows how long....probably ever.

I believe so...and in college hockey that's usually iron clad. So I guess we'll have to sit back and listen and see.

Better, Godsmack?

Maybe this is God’s way of getting even with me for reveling in Canada’s loss to Finland the other night? 

And yes....that’s much better, Mafia Man.

2013-14 I believe was our worst scoring year since Hak had taken over.  The top six forwards from a points standpoint totaled 161 points (65 goals) in 42 games.  That's 3.8 ppg and 1.5 gpg.  

This year our top six forwards from a points standpoint have 47 total points (23 goals) in 18 games.  That's 2.6 ppg and 1.2 ppg.  2013-14 was a frustrating year.  This year is just awful.

The good news in all this is, UND managed to sneak into the tournament that year, came to life a little, and made the Frozen Four (the start of three in a row, with the title coming in the third one).

This is becoming the norm and it sucks.  Remember when Hak won with not a full lineup at the end year and still made the regionals?  I love Sioux Hockey, but this is tough.  Hoping for an ass kickin tomorrow, because that's all we got.

Remember when Zach Parise had four points alone in his first ever collegiate game (oddly enough, against Canisius)?  And then had 8 points after his second game?
He'd have been the leading scorer of this team after four games.  :D:(

And that was when clutching and grabbing was worse than it is now.

This particular game, this pathetic start to the "all healthy" second half, just indicates that this program has got nothing this year.  Wouldn't be surprised if they lost tomorrow, too.  Showed nothing tonight at all.

Wow - that is a team that clearly doesn’t give a f*&$# about making it to the post season.  If they can’t manage to pull off a win against #50 something in the Parwise?  Seriously, WFT?
