UND @ WMU - Friday Gameday

[stoneySIOUX]

2022 has not been super fun for this team, but we've seen what they can do when they are at their best. My glasses may be tinted green, but I recognize how solid WMU is this year. Oof.

Call me an eternal optimist, but I think we get one tonight. Get everyone off the schide and feeling good about this team again!

4-2 good guys in green

Juddy, Sandy, Moore, Jammer

I'm really hoping the team can find their focus again.
It's been frustrating hockey to watch thus far in 2022 for this UND team.  I'm crossing my fingers that they show us something different tonight & tomorrow.

I mean, it's only been 3 games and only two counted. Ruts happen. I think the dramatic way we lost to Cornell was only exacerbated by some of our poor Fridays and drained the team for Saturday. Honestly, if we had won that game like we should have, I feel like there would be must less doom and gloom around the team right now.

Hopefully we come out of it and I am confident they know how to get there.

What are the odds of winning if UND gives up 25 or more SOG?

UND breaks the crystal ball with a W in the weekend starter, plays an exceptional defensive game.

[AJS]

Not what most wanted, but Berry does back with Driscoll tonight. Guess he's buying into the thought process that eventually he'll have to have a game where he saves > 90% of the shots he faces. 

[stoneySIOUX]

Interesting.... Paul Washe out. Violation of team rules. 

[stoneySIOUX]

Kunz Schmaltz Gaber
Costantini Ford Caulfield
Senden Jamernik Calder
Portz Ness Albrect

Sanderson Frisch
Kleven Jandric
Moore Ferner
Johnson

Driscoll
Hellsen

I was hoping they would go with Hellsten both nights.

Because our fanbase needs medication?

Odd line combinations.

... which can change at the speed of a guy going over the boards. 

[stoneySIOUX]

So, what we're saying is that we'll complain about the lines during a poor run, and also complain when we change up said lines. Just making sure I summed that up correctly. 

Lol.

[The Sicatoka]

Albrecht in with Montgomery, Budy*, Hain* as forwards not in. Suddenly our depth at forward is disturbingly suspect. 

So, is Bast or Johnson taking shifts at fourth line right wing in practice yet?

Calder on the shutdown line?

[The Sicatoka]

So, Schmaltz and Kunz back together. Can they whip up some of that Green Bay magic from last season? 

And can Caulfield get off the milk carton finally?

Buddy, we lost our shutdown line when Hainer went out. Their are trying combinations to see if we can get things going. Jammer and Sendo play a very significant scoring role on this team. Two hard forecheckers with Calder, a good scorer, could actually work.

LouieJam and Senden create so many "surprise!" opportunities having a shooter like Calder there doesn't sound so bad. And those three play the game like wily veterans. 

That first line, they all play like wild eyed eleven month old golden retriever pups. 

I think both combos have interesting potential.

I thought thought Portz was a pretty good fit.
