I wonder what he was driving at? Are we as fans overreacting? Are we out of line for being frustrated? I’m frustrated because I don’t feel like we’re seeing any improvement defensively. Just seem to be getting worse. And I have no idea how it’s possible to be this bad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone gets their opinion, but I believe it’s never as bad, or as good, as ‘the posted opinions’. Agreed. On the board, UND is either the best team ever ("we might not lose a game the rest of the season!") or this UND team is the worst collegiate team to take the ice in 30 years ("fire the coach, sack all the recruits, and send everyone else back to the portal!"). My guess (hope) is that the players already have Miami on their minds and are hoping to get back on track after a poor performance at home. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are fans of the one of the best college hockey programs and losses are not very frequent at all. There have been downswings with this program but it’s been awhile. Hopefully we aren’t entering one of those. We have regular season success recently but right now we aren’t that scary ND program we used to be.

tnt Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 When things weren’t going well for long stretches I was hoping Strinden would have been inserted on one of the lines to see if he had some energy. He was the extra skater I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnt Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 So do we know when Bast will be back? Would be nice to be able to sit someone when they aren’t playing well, and he impressed me last year in his limited action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is you knew Hak's teams would be there in the end. They never missed the playoffs and made more Frozen Fours than they didn't under him. Slow starts were frustrating, but you knew they had the talent and coaching to turn it around. We are so badly outcoached and now definitely out-talented that there is no hope for massive turnarounds with this team. We have one playoff win since the championship 7 seasons ago. We have been trending in a bad direction for a long time. UND and its fans should not settle for mediocrity. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Username Taken Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 That was tough to watch. No skill, no fight. Just laid over. Looking to build some much needed chemistry and confidence over the next couple of weekends. Train wreck start to the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't even clear their own zone, let alone maintain any sort of possession. Giveaways, dominated on shots, no fight (bad body language). This team may end up one of the worst in decades. It's sad that when both teams were at full strength it often looked like Denver was on a power play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does bibs try to be so cute with his lines. Put a freshman line together because we do have some talented freshmen. Bubs needs to quit being cute and get back to our meat and potatoes a good Senden shutdown line Senden hasn’t played like he used to since the Saturday night game against the Gophers. Something is really out of whack with these guys right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rochsioux Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 The problem is not necessarily a win/loss thing. It is the way the team is playing. They look slow and lack quickness. The passing has been nothing short of awful and we seem to panic with the puck in our end. The defense has been a huge disappointment so far. We have been completely outplayed by Minnesota, Denver and Quinnipiac. It’s one thing to lose a game due to a bad break or just having a bad night. It’s another thing to be completely outplayed in almost every game when you face the better teams. Can they turn this around? Maybe playing teams a notch lower than Denver, Minnesota, and Quinnipiac will help them build some confidence and develop better chemistry. I hope so, but it needs to happen pretty soon or we’ll need to win the conference playoffs to make the NC$$ tourney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are second guessing their passes, they are second guessing their decisions as to when to challenge, they are second guessing their skill to be unpredictable. To much formula and to little trust in their skill. Sidorski stated that it was nice to hangout with the guys off the ice because once they leave the rink not many guys hangout. That seems odd to me, all you ever hear from former players is how much they were togather off the ice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say this with all due love and respect... but..... The people who comment on there are 9.9 times out of 10... the dumbest sacks of stupidity I have ever heard of being even remotely associated with hockey..... Just vapid voids of lifeforms. Mostly all just trying to kiss the ass of the players moms who are there all the time so they can pretend they're "connected" to the program.

I imagine Senden is getting frustrated. Last year his line completely shut down DUs top line all weekend and this year he’s playing with 2 completely different players. Some lines work and senden hain jammer works so does ness albrecht portz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
