They’ve been playing with fire the last three weekends, have a feeling this will finally be the weekend they get burned. Can’t imagine them winning tomorrow, but thought the same thing the last two weekends and they pulled it off. The lack of discipline is the really concerning thing. I don’t want to see Jandric for the rest of the calendar year. Do players just not fear Berry? These penalties have been happening all year with ZERO improvement. Really going the other direction. Something is not right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldguy Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that UND does not beat anyone 8-1 this year. So, most lopsided loss of the season?

Godsmack Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Not sure this is the situation you want to introduce your freshman goaltender to D-I hockey. Feel bad for the kid entering his first game under these circumstances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin G Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 If blown out, choose one of the following excuses: It was SCSU's Super Bowl. We were a little banged up. They had extra time to prepare. Starting goalie's girlfriend dumped him. We weren't used to the altitude. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJS Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I need an explanation why the goaltending / defense has been so widely inconsistent. Driscoll has had great numbers his entire hockey career. The defense when you go player by player should be good. It just doesn’t make sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like how Brad Radke was so bad in the first inning, the Twins' pitching coach would have him pitch a pretend "first" inning in the bullpen so he would start the game in the "second" inning. As I recall, it didn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crb1 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I really don’t know what to make of this team. We lose at home to BSU- Fair enough We go to Nashville and get throttled by Penn State. We lose Friday game to UMD and don’t play well with dumb penalties. Squeaking out a Sat victory. We lose Friday game to UMN and look crappy. We barely hang on to win Saturday. We get throttled again on Friday by Clown town. Saturday TBD. Our PP and PK are both very poor we take very dumb and costly penalties. Our defense has been anything but stellar and our forwards tend to get caught watching as opposed to playing. Every time we win a game it seems people think we are back on track but even our wins aren’t real convincing. The season goes fast and before you know it there is just too much ground lost to control our destiny. I hope that doesn’t happen this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blais had a handful of absolute stinkers where we would get beat giving up 8 or so against teams like SCSU and CC. At the end of the day, it is a long season. My expectations coming into the season was a fight for home ice and tournament bid. We are in excellent position for both, even if the Huskies score another 100 goals tonight. Of course, doesn't mean I'm not disappointed. The loss to BC in the FF was the last time I had such a bitter taste in my mouth. This shows what a dumpster fire we have at goalie - Driscoll can be very good but also be bad at the worst times. He's a CVS Band-Aid - okay if you want to save money but also prone to leaks. Berry was right to pull him tonight (finally) and the Swede shoved into goal did fine early but what can you do put in the position he was. We need to build a young goalie for the future even if it costs us in the present. We'll be in play for post season but this is NOT a year like we've had the last couple when Covid and Cruel Fate screwed us out of a Natty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farce poobah Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I"m not a coach, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express ... Change one thing? Poise with the puck. Too many blind passes, passes to an area, and passes made when the intended target wasn't ready. And most of those weren't "forced" as in St Cloud checking us off the puck (though there was some of that). Hang onto it for just another ½ second, get set, then pass the puck. Same thing for clearing attempts on PK; we're failing to clear too many times because we're too-jumpy. Get back to basics. Fast. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
