UMD @ UND -- Friday Gameday

[brianvf]

So when can Sanderson make it back into the lineup?

When will this team stop taking so many bad penalties?

When will our PP actually be productive?

And will we ever see UMD stop diving?

UMD = University Maximum Diving?

Be happy that your team won tonight. Hopefully UND can be better tomorrow.

When down by 2 and really haven't done anything all period, pulling the goalie is a dumb move. 

With that thinking we would never have had 5 overtime’s in Fargo last year.  Every hockey coach would take issue with that statement unless you are going back to the two game total goal series of years gone by.

[Godsmack]

Tv and radio announcers keep saying Jamernik out of the game. Wish they’d say that he took himself out of the game.

[Oldguy]

Uninspiring, unintelligent hockey tonight.  Yes, we had a few flu cases, but that showing was pathetic.

[Oldguy]

Will get dominated again tomorrow if that is the best they can do.

[bcblues]

Rehire Gino?

Hopefully tomorrow. 

It’s needed ASAP like tomorrow but I’m not optimistic.  This teams margin of error is very small. 
 

When the Vikings win the Super Bowl ?  Probably a lot sooner but we can’t afford to lose players because the scoring depth is limited.

Not a chance.  Why stop something that works and has almost no risk of hurting your team.

OK, I'll bite. Hakstol was probably the most popular recipient of the "FIRE........" call.

But honestly, both Hakstol and Berry have their strengths and weaknesses. Different, for sure.

Brad does have some pretty solid stats, though......

 

Oh yeah I’ve got no real problem with Berry.  I just see his contract is up after next season and that slightly worries me.  I was just more curious.   

[AlphaMikeFoxtrot]

This year we clearly live and die by Sanderson. Our D was anemic without him. Driscoll has been better than his stats suggest but he has yet to steal a game.

[SiouxFan100]

Well maybe we don’t sweep

[AlphaMikeFoxtrot]

Any video clips/GIFs of the dive? 

Which one, you ask? Specifically the James dive Kleven got called for.

[siouxfan512]

This game, yuck! That is all.

[bcblues]

What worried me more than anything was the lack of determination. Maybe it was just the flu - actually, I hope it was. Because if that was how we played last year there would not have been 5 OTs. Just saying.

[siouxfan512]

Hope they bounce back last night but I won’t be able to see. Men’s league game right at 6, hopefully a more inspired performance than the game we saw tonight.

That was bad.  Kleven didn't even touch him, he just spun around and then fell.

A couple of observations. The team was shorthanded and consequentially outplayed. When will the coaches do something about penalties? The Jamernik crosscheck was just stupid - maybe a five or maybe not. Embellishment by the UMD player -uh, yeah. Worthy of a DU dive. But the net result was the far better team won. The UND team we watched tonight is at best the third or forth place team in the NCHC.

[Wilbur]

Will see SCSU in a couple weeks, but this Duluth team is good.  Just a clinic in the neutral zone, and they make you pay for every inch.

The area where the biggest disparity was between the teams was in the skating department.  Their team speed was huge in being able to pressure the hell out of us all over the rink.  Some guys got exposed in that department, but we knew that other than a few guys we didn't have an elite skating team this season.  

Dumb penalty by Jammer.  His line became obsolete after his curtain call.

[SiouxFan100]

Playing with the flu will mess you up. I wouldn’t dismiss it

[Oxbow6]

Had a post game chat with Gretzky (Kauk didn't say anything). He kept coming back to this team was "young" with lots of "new guys". No argument from me. It was men vs boys last night.

This....^^^

On another note is Biondi taking advantage of his 2nd Covid year? Seems like that kid has been around since 2016.

How can a coach with any self respect allow his players to dive. That is panzy at best. And coming from a former Sioux player.
