stoneySIOUX Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 Well, first of four (likely more) must wins. Get it done. 5-3 UND Rhett (If I keep picking him, it'll happen sometime, right?), Guchi, Weatherby, JBD, Hoff Quote
Oxbow6 Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 Wins this series keeps UND afloat. A loss buries them. Must guess is a split this weekend. UND 4-2 tonight. Per Schloss an interesting fact.......the top 3 shot attempts leaders on this team are all D-man. Quote

SIOUXELEVENS Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 I don’t believe our system gives much creativity to the fowards, Berry needs to change the focus if we are to score more the 1-2 goals a game on avg. Quote

Wilbur Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 Playoff mentality from now on. Can't afford losses to CC or Omaha. Or give them 5-3 for over a minute. Quote

It sucks that this is the case. Kawaguchi is one I think needs to shoot more, for sure. Quote

Our lack of forward scoring is pretty well established, is it not? I don't understand why this is all so confusing. We've been talking about this all season. 1 Quote

We've been talking about this all year and we've also discussed four incoming freshmen that should help this on the 18-19 season thread. Hopefully we score more than 2 goals tonight. Quote
BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 The time has come starting with CC for UND MH to get in the habit of sweeping weekends. Our chances at playing first round at home is very slim with Denver having a two game lead over us and we both have 4 games to go. Denver plays Omaha and CC. We are at 18th in Pairwise, so we need to win and the teams just about us need to lose so we can slowly ratchet up. Then there's always the chance of earning the auto bid. Quote
brianvf Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 If anything, wouldn't it help our PWR if we have to go to DU for first round (and win the series, of course)? Road wins help more. Sweep the last four, win the first round. That's a lot of wins in the next three weeks for this team...we'll see if they can do it. 1 Quote

By the same player. maybe he should be listed as the 19th player and only do faceoffs, to send a message at the least. Of course if a 23 year old senior alternate captain needs a message, well then... He is obviously prone to brain farts, I don't think that is repairable and wish him well in his career after here.

Brad said it in his article today they win 5 out of 6, they put themselves right there. Winning the next four are certainly possible. DU on the road will be tough, of course. But, there's definitely still a chance of getting an auto bid. 1 Quote

Irish Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 15 minutes ago, fightingsioux4life said: I guess both of them should be evaluated. Not saying Dane should go, but Berry needs to take a hard, serious look at his coaching philosophy as well as the returning roster and coaches. This is one of the hardest but necessary jobs for a head coach. If he want's to be this program's leader he needs to do what is best for the program. After this season, it's crunch time for him. 1 Quote
