[SiouxFan100]

We look like the better team

juat don’t look at the scoreboard 

[Fetch]

Only his second of the yr

[Carl]

UND still leading in shots after the first period!

[Cratter]

Lose this game and the season is over cause they certainly ain't taking the next two games from DU.

Thats the type of shot UND is missing.

The only greasy grinders that UND fans can enjoy this year are from the Red Pepper.

[Wilbur]

Denver got killed by the reffs the whole period.....lucky to be ahead 1-0.

Hope the stripes can pick it up for them period 2.....terrible.....

Dominate 1st & they score with a minute left 

That was bad goaltending, too. 

[UND1983]

Dominate the first 15 minutes of the game.  Result?  Denver 1-0. 

[Fetch]

We need a Scoring expert & a PP mind as assistant coach 

[Fighting Sioux 23]

That's the first period.  After twenty minutes, Denver leads 1-0.

A fairly typical period for UND this season...dominate, but unable to capitalize on great chances, while the opposing team scores on their only grade A chance.

Oh well.  Maybe they are saving all of their goals for next season?  If so, expect a Hrkac Circus repeat.

How is DU up 1-0 right now. We should at least have two goals but we give up one. Unreal.

Thanks!

[Feff]

That's this year in a nutshell, dominate play and give up the only goal.

 

[Cratter]

Thome has cooled off the last few games.

Back to his normal self?

He should have had that one. Not sure what he was doing on that play. Got caught looking down below to long.

I think he is doing pretty good

must be tough to be ignored most of the period

Problem is we can outskate them all game and all season but the worse than anemic PP is killing us.

Have you watched them this year? Nothing new 

[burd]

We don't have a single player who would make me nervous each time he touches the puck if he were on the other side.  A dynamic player.  A lot of decent-to-good talent, but nobody with that combination of speed, strength and skill.   That makes a difference, not just on the PP.   I happen to think this team is well coached.  Whether the recruitment planning is lacking--I don't know.  They can play with the best, though, and they aren't out of it yet.  

[SiouxFan100]

Can’t score can’t win

[Wilbur]

Why on earth does college hockey of all sports bring out the moron announcers who absolutely have zero regard for the integrity of the game.....

Guy got mad for two penalties on DU and then starts throwing out head shot comments.

Mute.....

Jay Stickney. Brutal. 

Is that the play by play or color guy?

[CarpeRemote]

I get what you are saying, Joe Morgan once said ‘you can’t win a championship at any sport without having at least one player who is best in the nation at his position’. I’ve found that to be mostly true. 

But I don’t think the coaching is defensible regarding the panic play. It’s mostly just 5 guys without a plan 

[Cratter]

Last game Thome played, against the NCHC's 2nd worst team, he let in 4 goals and saved 17 shots.

80.9 SV% 

[SiouxFan100]

How can Denver be ranked 7 if they are so bad?
