It’s more dzone coverage than goalie…but not overly impressed with goalies either. Long season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxfan512 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 That game was hot trash. Didn't realize the NCHC app was trying to do us a favor by not showing the game earlier. Better show up next weekend. Bipolar team from last night (I get it was a tie, but we passed the sniff test last night). It appears goaltending is going to cost us this year, even if the D is not what it has been. Missed the first period last night so I didn't realize DeRidder started, but Hellsten didn't look good last night .... OR tonight. Yikes, not sure what to think. We didn't have much puck luck tonight, and after watching the replay again we may have gotten screwed on the offsides call last night, but regardless .... HAVE TO PLAY BETTER AT HOME!

bcblues Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Yeah our defense needs to figure out WTF is going on. And our goalies need to step it up. We are losing the races to the puck in mid ice, and have trouble gaining the zone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldguy Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 My take is that, after a supposed "wake up call" last night, the team took a nap tonight. Boring, sloppy hockey by UND. If they can't play any more determined than this, it is going to be an UGLY season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omahasioux1 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 We need a goalie and players who do not turn the puck over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxScore Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Just not much good to take from tonight. Not many individuals or aspects of the game that went well. Gonna need to clean up a ton and be much sharper before Friday night or it will be a long 120 minutes in Minneapolis because that team is much more skilled than Quinnipiac. Between this game and the ugly Gopher football performance it has been a pretty disappointing Saturday for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FightingSU Posted October 16, 2022 Author Share Posted October 16, 2022 Gotta take what we can learn from this weekend, study and improve for what’s next. It is still October. Plenty of season left. But we also need to get more consistent with goalie performance. I think Hellsten is going to be the guy. Also just think it looks like Q is a dang good team, even their coach looks like a total prick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Just got back and find myself in need of strong drink. We got it handed to us tonight. Defense is as soft as I have ever seen. How many quality shots did they get either posting up or crashing the net? And we are going nowhere with a .750 save percentage. Why can't we get in a good young goalie and develop him. This idea of getting whatever 5th year transfer we can find isn't a way to build anything. We need to up the recruiting across the board. There is no reason we can't pull in a top goalie prospect - with Karl working with him it should be easier to sell. And the undisciplined play and penalties. It is very early but we need to get it together now. I'm hopeful but Bubbs and Co. haven't been able to solve the stupid penalty problem for how long? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldguy Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 One more thought. If this coaching staff wants to claim "hard skill" as an identity, then the team has to play hard consistently. They looked like they thought their god-given graces were going to magically come from the ether tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcblues Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I hope QU is a frozen four contender this year. If so, we will be OK. If not, it could be a long season.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boring, sloppy hockey by UND. If they can't play any more determined than this, it is going to be an UGLY season. That’s what it seemed like to me. It looked like after they took the lead, they looked disinterested, although the Q had something to do with it. The concerning part is that it was the veterans that played poorly in the defensive zone. The guy people say should be at the pro level, Kleven, hardly looked the part in the series. Gaber continues to get his shot blocked when he has a wide open teammate. Since we all have seen these guys play the right way, we should be fine, but you don’t get these non conference games back, and I don’t think the NCHC will be as dominating as years past against other leagues. One other thing, bring back Hain, Jamernik, and Senden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just disappointed in our goalie situation so far. You mean like Tomek? Plenty of times the stud goalies don’t work out. Plenty of goalies are late bloomers. Would rather recruit guys who have success at the junior level and come here at 19 or 20 year olds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
