Wilbur Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Alright, trying this again. SCSU absolutely took it to us last time. So much so that a guy actually came in and made like three different accounts and quoted himself and actually took a shot at me in relation to our once dynastic women's hockey program (which I forwarded to the Lamoureax Twins), all the while pretending to be a UND fan of all things. Sigh...... Moving on though. If we only have 5 healthy d-men I'm still in the split up JBD and Kiersted boat. Have one of them out there at all times and mix in Reiger as a fill in when a guy needs a break. I think Moore has had to grow up a bit and he's done a nice job. Nevertheless, their speed absolutely killed us on the rushes and we just didn't battle them hard enough in our own end. Does Thome get a bounce back opportunity????? I'll guess nope. 3-3 Overtime tie. We lose the shootout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then last week they said Blaisdell was close to returning. I can’t keep up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJS Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Things started to turn a little yesterday. The perfect outcomes. UND wins, SCSU / Duluth both lose. This weeks schedule (Wednesday / Saturday / Sunday) seems pretty ideal as well. Three games remaining, if they can string some wins together, as low as things were after the St. Cloud game, they have a chance for a fairly successful Pod. The game of the year coming up on Wednesday. Cannot afford to lose both games to a team you're only going to play twice. Not with so much uncertainty about how the Committee will pick this year field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jk Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Besides the dumb penalty, Budy seems to be getting up to speed, by the eye test anyway. Also, Mismash with a couple nice setups for tap-ins. For the freshmen (and Budy isn't really one), hard to believe they're only 12 days into their college careers. Baptism by fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweethockey Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I was pleasantly surprised how Mismash played yesterday. He contributed to the team's efforts. Is Jordan going to get his head cleared up before they are done in the pod? He's in some kind of funk. They will beat St. Cloud, I have faith in them to play like they did yesterday.

BusinessSiouxt Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 With all the grumbling about goaltending, maybe they should go 6 attackers from the start. The strategy? Wear the other team out with icing calls as they try to run up the score. Keep them on the ice for 4, 5 minute shifts. Then we got em right where we want em!

bcblues Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 This game and the next are important milestone games for the season. Either wake up and move forward, or drink heavily. I agree with breaking up Kiersted and JBD. Make it harder to exploit our short-sided defenseman roster. Gooch needs to relax a little and get back to the form he was in last year. I think the struggle this season is causing him to play tight and it does not suit him. Gaber is the real deal. Fun to watch! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun to watch! Truth. He’s getting chances. Just not executing. Plus, after his year, teams know he’s dangerous. I have faith in our offense. The back end is banged up but we’ll get back to 100 soon and have half a season upcoming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure speculative guess, but knowing UND Hockey has a break from Dec 20 to Dec 31, you won't see any of them unless they are either (a) 100%, or (b) can't get hurt any worse.

Wilbur Posted December 16, 2020 Author Share Posted December 16, 2020 I'm guessing we are the road team today? More of a reason to split up 3-24 with SCSU getting the last change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcblues Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Come out strong and fast. Stay out of the box, dammit. Finish out the game, don't ever let up. Play smart with intensity. Live up to the legacy, and live up to your potential. This is a great team, it needs to play like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
