Oxbow6 Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 UND scoring 3.1 goals per game. Giving up 3.0. .884 for Driscoll PP and PK numbers are essential even % wise. Quote
SIOUXELEVENS Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 It seems if we give up a power play goal another is close behind. Quote
ChrisUND1 Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 Hastings is a great coach. UND would be very lucky to have him. It's so impressive what he has done in Mankato. Quote
AJS Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 Things become less frustrating once you accept it for what it is. This team will not make the playoffs this year. I'm looking forward to the rest of the year with an eye on next year. Extra emphasis on the D-core and Hellsten. Especially once Sanderson goes to the Olympics. Can Hellsten continue his play from WMU series and really solidify himself as a guy you feel good about heading into next year. Likewise, can this team tighten up defensively, like they did last game. I do think the Forward position not this year, but next year would be easiest to fix. Quote
bcblues Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 We really need a reset. A good solid recruitment year and a class of solid recruits that can grow together and develop the chemistry that makes UND hockey. The Swede will be just fine moving forward. We just need a solid team to be recruited and developed. The transfer portal is just a stopgap measure and should not be relied on to build a team. 1 Quote

brianvf Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 Quote It's four-straight losses for the Fighting Hawks for the first time since the 2013-14 season. It's back-to-back sweeps against for the first time since the 2006-07 season. Ouch. Quote

SiouxForever Posted January 23, 2022 Posted January 23, 2022 Is UND the only team in the NCHC to have a super senior from last year not come back? Let’s start there with an issue and then + letting Rizzo, Morrow walk and go elsewhere. Quote

If we get swept again, how far back do they have to look to find when we were last swept on three consecutive weekends? Quote

Not necessarily tearing up the AHL. Quote
brianvf Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 #13 in the PWR now. Man, two crappy weekends back to back and they fall from #4 to #13. They're TP & the HB "free fallin'" right now. Quote
SiouxForever Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 Ride the Sweden goalie moving forward. Berry and coaching staff need to take things day by day. Also a split this weekend is a must. One goal on the whiteboard for the rest of the year “Make the NCAA tourney.” 2 Quote

If this was going to be a down year anyway just bring in 14 freshman and build for the future instead of using the portal as a band aid. From what I understand those teams that brought all these super seniors back may be in a hurt bag the next year or two. 1 Quote
The Sicatoka Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 Karl Goehring has seen the TBL system, where you can still play defense and score. What we have is a ton of guys who are fillers at best at forward. And after the top 3 or 4, the defense is still unproven to suspect. Ask yourself (not you dear reader, but this is to the team) have you earned a roster spot for next season? Quote

From what I understand those teams that brought all these super seniors back may be in a hurt bag the next year or two. I agree with this, the issue being (and this is on Berry), they didn't have anyone else to bring in this past year. That's proof by Montgomery not playing right now over Ness / Albrecht. We can circle back in a few years to see how Ethan Bowen does at Vermont. I find it very hard to believe he wouldn't be more capable than the "bottom 4" forwards on this years team. I do though agree with the thought. This year, you're kind of stuck in the middle. 1 Quote

Didn't like the idea of the portal when they announced it and definitely still not a fan of the portal. I hope Berry and Co shy away from it in the future. If your looking for depth it had positives but not impact players 2 Quote

SIOUXELEVENS Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 Under I think it will be 2-3 per game and we will be 1 per game Quote

farce poobah Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 The best January in UND hockey history? 10 wins, 0 losses, by the Hrkac Circus 1986-1987. The worst January? A couple years of just one win (back in the 1960's and 1950's). No team has ever gone winless in January. 1 Quote
