Not always on point defensively but my goodness is he skilled. He can be a game changer. Kudos to CJ as well. IMO he's earned ice time from here on out as 4th liner or extra. Been solid in all 3 zones. Extremely disciplined. Roll with Thome next Friday. Get that win and then see what Scheel can give you Saturday night. I agree that Thome deserves some starts and would be good to see two goalies battle one another for ice time. If all defensemen stay healthy Johnny, Frisch and Bast may have to rotate or share some duties each weekend, they are each capable and bring something to the team.

Their usual play by play guy is the absolute worst homer I’ve ever heard! Yeah they were actually not too bad. I didn’t get the urge to want to mute them. Bruce Cisiki(Sp) is the worst and thankfully we didn’t have to listen to him. The way he rants and raves about UMD, you would think they have won 8 National Championships. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upper decks were packed as well as SRO. The empty seats were season ticket holders. Most green was upper deck. Don't put yellow seats in your arena.

At this point rotate Bast and Frisch. Frisch deserves ice time. Bast has not been the same player since he returned from injury. He's injury was very significant so not surprising it's taking him some time to get back into form. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post yzerman19 Posted January 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 26, 2020 My takeaways on UMD are as follows: 1. That is a hard, heavy, fast team with a mean streak. Sandy and Herter have clearly brought Sioux hockey to the Twin Ports. 2. The Dawgs are an experienced good team. They have all bought in, all the non freshmen have rings, older guys have two. Importantly one of those guys is between the pipes. 3. The Dawgs have more skill than they get credit for. They are not Gopher or Sioux rejects or just the pride of the range- 3 guys on that team have World Juniors experience, where only two of our guys do, and for both of our guys it was this year. 4. As I said earlier on another post, They push the pace north south and don’t try to do too much 5x5. The speed at which they do this results in no time and space for anyone (including them), what it does do is forces other teams to panic or make mistakes that leads to turnover opportunities on the rush (lots of breakaway chances). Get a breakaway goal and 1 or 2 on the pp and give your opponents nothing to work with- that’s a recipe for a lot of wins. 5. I want nothing to do with them in the NCAAs. They will be a tough out. Whatever bracket they land in- especially if they get in as a 3 seed- will likely become the 2020 region of death. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MafiaMan Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 My hope is that the season ends with DHG sipping away at his Guinness...which is a bit salty due to his bitter tears falling into his glass. Then I hope his PO walks into the bar and promptly has him arrested for violating the conditions of his probation, but I digress... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their usual play by play guy is the absolute worst homer I’ve ever heard! Ciskie (which just autocorrected to “Dislike”, appropriately) is their radio guy. So a normal NCHC.TV broadcast would use the radio feed for audio, but this game was broadcast locally on My29 (I think) so they had their own guys do the play by play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kab Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 For those of us not in the know who is this DHG you speak of. looking at the posts from both nights I wonder how the posts would be if the results were switched each night, always easier to get that Friday night win, assured of a split that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they must have performed some sort of miracle on Perunovich in the tunnel; reattaching his arm or shoulder so he could get back out there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNDPUCKS Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I confess I have never played hockey but have attended Sioux hockey since the early 70's. I concur with the embellishment label on UM-D. I wondered whether anyone beside me observed at least 6 times that the game was actually on the air last night, that Duluth players would fall to the ice, not to draw a penalty, but to interfere with our skater?? Mostly along the boards, they would collapse around the skates of our guys and impede them like crazy. Should be two minutes or our guys should just drive down onto them to end that nonsense.

I did see this and was thinking the same thing. I also noticed they like to clutch, hold, grab a lot and for the life of me I don’t understand how penalties don’t get called. Case in point, I believe it was shortly after the Adams phantom trip in the third and Cole smith had the puck coming into the zone and a Duluth player grabbed him and spun him around and no call. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 A nice character win last night - both for players and coaches. I believe we have the talent and grit to go all the way - we still need to clean a few things up first. The goalie thing is a big mystery to me but we do have the best goalie coach in the country. The one thing I wish we could fix is the habit of giving up a goal within a minute of scoring. This is focus and intensity. People have correctly commented that Friday went south after the shorty, but we would have been in a much better position if we didn't immediately give up a goal after scoring first - we let them back in the game at that point. It seems like this has happened frequently in the last few years. This is fixable. I hope we are on our way to putting things together for a second half run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he's been prone to stupid fouls now and then. Still really like the way he has played this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
