stoneySIOUX Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Big series coming up. Omaha reeling a bit and UND can't afford to lose games with teams below us in PWR. Who starts in net? I feel like we'll see Drizzy on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoDaks Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 These next 4 games are crucial. 4 games that should be and nearly have to be wins. Also that means its four games that scare me. For postseason sake, specifically the NCAA's, I'd say 3-1 is critical. Much less than that probably takes away a shot at the penrose, along with pairwise taking a hit. UND seems to always drop one against Omaha at the Ralph. Always hoping for a sweep, but lets get Friday first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here at home, we need the sweep and I believe the sweep will come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianvf Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 This is the type of optimism we saw heading into the Cornell series. Ha! Hopefully this weekend turns out better than that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, IMO, we have to have one of those two saved. Not his fault, per se, but we needed one to be stopped. Again, like said, I am fine with either, I just think Bubbs will go Driscoll.

BusinessSiouxt Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Really depends on which Omaha team shows up. If the good one does, then I’ll never hear the end of it from my wife. If “the bad one“ does she’ll act like “it’s just a game“ and move on. My worry is that they show up and we don’t. That would be really bad.

I haven't seen enough of Omaha to say the same about them, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen enough of Omaha to say the same about them, I guess. Like I said she graduated from UNO. Makes for two really interesting weekends a year. I watched a bunch of her games, when they show up they’re pretty impressive when they don’t they’re pretty depressive. Game one against UMD all she did was stare at the TV, game two was hysterical, game 7 of the Stanley Cup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think/hope these past 3 games were really a wakeup call for Driscoll and you could tell in his play in relief on Saturday. I also agree I didn't think Hellsten looked very good on Saturday. I think it's Driscoll's net on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this weekend turns out better than that one. One major difference is that going in to the Cornel series Driscoll knew he was starting and Hellsten knew he was not! Both now know that a start one night does not mean a finish or a start the second. They are pushing each other for ice time now as it should be. Also, we need both of them for the HCHC tourney and beyond. I honestly feel equally comfortable with either and agree that a rotation of some sort would be best. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't pin the Cornell series on the goalies. Two of Cornell's goals on one of the nights the d-corps basically let a Cornell player completely alone in front. Plus they had no goal support. The offense came alive a bit during the SCSU series, and hopefully they can continue that against UNO. I just want some consistency in play from week to week. If the goalies both continue their solid play, the fourth line continues to chip in, and we can get reliable dman replacement minutes with Sanderson out, I like our chances.
