Can't recall a more thorough dismantling of a UND team at the Ralph since it opened. That was about as lopsided a last 40 minutes as one is going to see.

I guess I don't see how anyone can be the least bit surprised that a team ranked #23 in the pairwise lost to the team ranked #1 by 1 goal (and ENG).

Glass half full...meet glass half empty.

At 12 wins and 11 losses (and 1 tie), I’ll go with Oxbow6’s take here.

Starman: "North Dakotas team speed is not that great."

Is UNDs lack of skill that obvious to everyone?

YES.  Following the 1st period tonight, watching the 2nd and 3rd periods, it became so obvious to this non-hockey great mind and never played hockey that St Cloud is light years ahead of us speed-wise and offensive-skill wise.  I'm not sure our 1st line is as good as their 3rd line.  It's painful, how the eff did it get to this in just 2 seasons?  Seriously.  This has gotta change, no excuse for this proud program who lands top recruits.

How is it that we have a team like this. I just can’t believe it. There is no reason St. Cloud should field a better team than us. It’s just mind boggling. 

You summed it up.  We all know the reason, the elephant in the room.  There better be a change after this season or this cold go on for several years.

Let's break it down:

-Scheel was fantastic.

-They are on a different planet than we are.  When both teams settled in it wasn't close.  Skill, speed, crisp passes, and their PP actually looks like they want to score.  

-Knee on knee hit by Schuldt should get him a game tomorrow.  And to think it was a well officiated game to that point. 

-Our second periods suck.....

-I thought our team had to do pushups for missing the net?  Guess not.....

-Had an opportunity to maybe steal one, but I can't remember a great scoring opportunity for us the third period.

#process

You said it, we were so over-matched skill and speed-wise. Embarrassing.  And yes, our 2nd periods suck every game.

And they aren't reviewing it......wow.....hahaha

How could they not effin review that?  They play the game about focus on player safety (i.e. contact to the head) but don't review knee to knee?  WTF?

Brad Berry summary, anyone?

BB:  Culture, we played hard, we...  Me:  UND totally out-classed, we are deficient in speed and offensive skills/finishing.

100% correct.  The elephant in the room known as “puck luck.”  That’s what you mean, right?  :cool:

I get your point but that's why you play the game.  LOWLY Canisius swept us so why can't we, with a program of our stature and high-end recruits/draft picks, win one game or even sweep St Cloud?!  Plus we're at home.  Plus it's on NHL size rink.  But no, we get embarrassed/outclassed the last two periods.  There's gotta be change.

Berry and Poolman in post game interviews used the phase "bad bounce" multiple times.........

 

HUH?  You have got to be kidding, right?  UND was totally outplayed the last two periods.  Tell me you're kidding, please.

Best college hockey arena and facility in the country. 8 titles, and the history. No top offensive recruits currently on the roster. Get swept by the lowly golden griffs.....

I see you two haven’t put down the 2016 champagne glasses, eh?

:D  I was actually trying to say that if anyone is surprised, it should be that we didn't get beat worse.   The teams are ranked where they are for a reason.

I'm not kidding

Scheel was absolutely outstanding. Hands down his best game of the year. To waste that performance falls on everything one else that played or coached for UND.

Posted

BTW SCSU has NINE guys with 15 points or more. UND has SIX guys with 10 or more points and three are defenseman.

Let that soak in...............

I’m not disagreeing with you, just not pinning this loss on Poolman. It was looking inevitable that St. Cloud was eventually going to take the lead anyway, it was just a matter of when.

Sure,  but he still screwed up.  Players do screw up and he did.

Other then Senden, who I don't think will score quantity, but he will score some big ones, and maybe Hain, this team is hurting next year too.  UND has a nice crop of forwards coming in but expecting a couple freshman forwards to carry this team (which they will need to do) is alot to ask.
