stoneySIOUX Posted November 25, 2019 Posted November 25, 2019 Sorry, I couldn't pass up a thanksgiving reference . Excited for this one. Always a big series and I think the boys are really confident right now. What does everyone think? 2 1 Quote
UNDColorado Posted November 25, 2019 Posted November 25, 2019 Will these games be on the Big Ten Network or probably some crappy basketball game? Quote

Always a big series and I think the boys are really confident right now. What does everyone think? Road series against a solid team. I really don't know what to expect. UND is elite when you look Defensively (grouping together D-core, Goaltending, PK). Still feeling out this team offensively. My best guess is we'll see a split. Sweeping a series is tough, especially on the road. 1 Quote
ScottM Posted November 25, 2019 Posted November 25, 2019 If the Wisco series was any indication, Mariucci will probably be dead both nights, and I would not be surprised if there was more green than maroon in the crowd. That said, playing Minnesota is always entertaining. 1 Quote

Sweeping a series is tough, especially on the road. My take on this team offensively... when we forecheck and play with pace, they create space and opportunities and have shown the ability to pot goals much better than the past two seasons. I see no reason why we can't sweep as we are a great defensive team, but a split seems like the smart play. 1 Quote

I think we'll see UND 5-1, Tie 3-3 Regardless of the atmosphere in Minny, the Gophers still have the talent. 1 Quote

Godsmack Posted November 25, 2019 Posted November 25, 2019 The skeptic in me says the B1G officials will assure that the home team gets plenty of power plays. I hope I am wrong. Quote

If we split this coming weekend and the weekend after that vs. Western Michigan, I will consider both of them positive weekends. Both of these arenas are tough places to play. Although I really hope we can sweep the dirty rodents in their place! 3 Quote

The Sicatoka Posted November 25, 2019 Posted November 25, 2019 Mandatory minimum at Mariucci is split (for PWR implications against the B1G), so win Thursday. There are no other games in the view-finder. That is all. Quote

The Friday game has way less available. I imagine there will be a lot of green both nights. Quote

That's not good for college hockey. *Seeing those prime, yellow seats sit open has to make the UMn Athletics admins cringe. Quote

I think we'll see UND 5-1, Tie 3-3 Regardless of the atmosphere in Minny, the Gophers still have the talent. Gophers really packed it in when I was watching Friday night against Wisconsin. Lots of sticks in passing lanes and blocked shots, not to mention an outstanding performance by the starting goalie. That said, UND is scoring at more than a goal per game higher clip than Minnesota, giving up a goal and half less than Minnesota, has a slightly better PP%, and a much better PK%. UND holds all of the statistical advantages but the old proverbial "throw the records out the window" goes for the rivalry so we shall see how it all plays out. Should be a fun series at any rate, it always is! 1 Quote

The problem, as I understand it from Gopher people, is that a lot of those prime seats are sold but are no-shows. So the Minnesota athletic department is getting the dollars, but I think anyone who cares about college hockey can agree that ain't a good look. And that has to be a detriment to recruiting if you have potentials attending games that sparsely attended. Quote
