stoneySIOUX Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Didn't get a chance to watch UND vs. Mankato, but it sounds like we should have won on Friday and could have won on Saturday. Another two important non-conference games. I don't think BSU will be horrendous and a potential "PWR killer", but, UND should absolutely sweep the Beavers at home. How'd Judd play in contrast to Johnson? How about Tychonick/Frisch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How'd Judd play in contrast to Johnson? How about Tychonick/Frisch? It sounds like Casey barely played, if he played at all, and I don’t think Judd played more than a couple shifts on Saturday. (I only saw Saturday’s game). Frisch was good on Saturday I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godsmack Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 That’s gotta suck being that extra skater and sitting there on the bench for the entire game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJS Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Non-conference games are so important, you need to win them, especially at home against a team that's middle of the pack. If this team is as good as I think they are, it's a must sweep. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockeygirl97 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I don't know, but it always seems like they play us tough at the beginning of the year and then go down from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattim Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I know that ratings and rankings mean almost nothing this time of year. But, can anyone explain how USCHO pairwise could have UND #2 and CHN has UND #4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnt Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 We need to figure out a way to score against Bemidji's style of play. I know they have given us problems before, but if we want to be contenders this year, this would be a nice step in that direction. The power play will need to start clicking to help open up Bemidji State. If we can get early leads it might just open them up a bit so we can take advantage.

northernraider Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 This is certainly an early season trap game. Bemidji State played SCSU well, but they were off last week. The Bevs are still an unknown at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Tough team to play against. Defense important again offensively when BSU packs it in and it's tough to get the puck to the net. I'd like to see them try something different with the Pinto line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After not making the tournament the last two years and how much trouble UND has had with Bemidji, there better not be any such thing as a trap game, especially when they didn’t come up with a win in Mankato.

Smoggy Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 How come this one isn't home and home like in the past? Or has that been an every other year sort of thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but based on my superficial understanding, the pairwise is based off head-to-head comparisons or common opponents. As of this point in the season, there is not nearly enough comparisons to get an accurate picture of who is better than who across the country.

If you look at PWR on USCHO, the rankings at this time are pretty much completely based on a team’s RPI. So that’s very little to go on, especially considering the Ivies haven’t played yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
