I will agree that he doesn't have the talent of a JBD or a Sanderson. JBD rightfully the NCHC defensive defenseman of the year, but Kiersted finished second I believe. I'm going to have to agree with you here. Kierstad has been a monster all year playing in every situation and stepped up even more when JBD went down against Denver and last night. I think we can all agree that we are lucky to have all three of these talented defenseman on our squad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look who is all conference this year and every year--it goes strictly by points and always has. Ronnie Attard 1st team over JBD and Sanderson? Seriously? Maybe offensively, but not even close to as good. The fact that someone is first team NCHC is not exactly a convincing argument. Look at who is on the ice on every penalty kill (JBD) and who is on the ice at the end of the game (JBD) and at critical times when the faceoff is in the defensive zone (JBD). Plus/minus is a better measure of a defensemen's ability than points, and even that doesn't tell the entire story. You should ask any former player who follows UND hockey and ask them who is better: JBD or Kiersted. I would be surprised if any did not say JBD is better. I'm not talking just upside (JBD will be a top 4 defensemen in the NHL for years), but who is better now. No disrespect to Kiersted, who has been a very good player for UND, but I don't think it is even close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Langster019 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Couldn’t help but notice seeing Senden’s arm in some sort of brace under his shirt when he was on the ice for the celebration. Hope he can get back for next week but a brace can’t be too great of an outlook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I think our fans are way too simplistic, thinking if a team keeps pressure on us for any extended period of time it's because we weren't trying, or our effort was lacking. If we play well for 2 periods, we only played 40 minutes, not 60. So does that mean the other team only played 20 minutes of hockey? We have a significant part of our fan base that has evolved into thinking what a large part of the Gopher fan base believes. ---other teams only exist so that we have someone to play. ---UND wins when they play well and even sometimes when we don't play well. UND loses games but never actually gets beat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farce poobah Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Last night Gaber reminded me of another excellent player who also wore #17: Jeff Panzer. Quick hands, reads plays, and accurate hard wrist shots. Good job young man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we were loud Was wondering what the actual attendance ended up being. I watched tickets all day. The double attack upper corners sold out and there was about 30 total tickets left in the last 2 rows on the other side. I decided not to go, then checked back to see if it had sold out. The double attack corners had lots of tickets available again and then a whole bunch of section 302 opened up so I grabbed one of those tickets. They were definitely adding seats throughout the day.

The Sicatoka Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 While folks try to sort 3, 24, and 26 ... 15 and 25 ... the Fargo-Moorhead Marvels ... would likely be top pair on many college teams. (25 and 26 are Team USA's High Plains Drifters. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jk Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 The PP was much better. At times in December, it looked as good as I've seen at UND. Then, after the holidays, it was botched zone entries, bobbles leading to clears, and general ineffectiveness. In the postseason, it has been much crisper again. Lots of possession and chances.

No disrespect to Kiersted, who has been a very good player for UND, but I don't think it is even close. Agree with many of your points, but you've got to remember who has been the other d man playing with JBD in those situations. I just can't call him a distant third. Talent wise absolutely. I think you'd agree the kids with the most talent aren't always your best players I took your challenge! A kid I coached in high school hockey is married to the daughter of a former player/coach of UND. When he gets back to me and says JBD hands down I'll let everyone know!

nd jg Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Something to keep in mind here is that since January 23, we played one series against a Denver team that was still trying to find itself, and then the rest againt Omaha and CC. And one against Miami. Then we run around and play against a desperate Denver team and a good St. Cloud team. We needed these two games to be hard to prepare for the NCAA. If not we would lose in the first round for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That brings up an interesting question, out of the senior class who would come back? #1,2,3,16,18,20,21, or 29? Honestly, I don't think any of them would except for #2 for the reason you mentioned. I think if they go deep into the tournament there will be offers for most of the senior class who are not drafted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
