DU @ UNDon't get swept Saturday thread.

[sioux rube]

Not a bad start 

[Wilbur]

Great play by Dylan James setting up Caufield. 

[BigGreyAnt41]

It was a great faceoff win and a great decision to play it forward aggressively instead of pulling it back.

[sioux rube]

All Denver after that goal. Let’s go boys 

[Wilbur]

James showing he wants to play blocking a clapper. 

[Esoteric]

Great start to tonight’s game.  UND’s team has the make-up to run the table in the National Tournament.  However, they likely may not make it to the national tournament based on “Pairwise” if they do not quickly start turning their games into wins. 

[bcblues]

Some dumb passing in our D zone.

[Wilbur]

The Swede has all the makings, but I don't know if his rebound control is that bad or he's a nervous wreck out there.  

[bcblues]

terrible call

PK

[scpa0305]

Terrible call

[sioux rube]

That’s a slash? 

[Wilbur]

Good kill.  This period has been all Denver after the first 7 seconds went our way. 

[ToDaClub]

Three shots on goal. Unreal.  At least one went in.

The team captain talks about playing a full 60 minutes.  Really, this gets mentioned a lot.  And it is true.  However as Jake, mentioned tonight the passing that gets cutoff.  It is easy for an opponents coaches to identify how many passes UND makes.  They expect this and prepare a game plan to intercept the passes and transition the play.  UND has to be less predictable.  So many passes blocked  by the opponents.

Ugly hockey again. 

[sioux rube]

Turnover after turnover. Yet up 1-0. Not sure how

We won the first ten seconds.  Denver got a moral victory for the rest of the period. 
 

UND coaches earning their pay in this intermission.  Need way more poise with the puck. 

[bcblues]

We need to play in their end for a while.

[Username Taken]

So terrible in their own end. That has been a theme all year long. Do they not practice breakouts?

[Oldguy]

SEVEN periods so far this season where they have 4 shots or less.  PATHETIC puck movement.  Damn lucky to be ahead in this game.

[Wilbur]

Got outshot 14-3, lead game 1-0. 

Our d zone again raises concerns.  Things like stops and starts and playing inside out come to mind.  Judd got a goal but proceeded to release his guy defensively right in alone on the Swede after following him from the blue line in.  

[nodakgirl93]

There is just something really off with this team. They just don't click with each other. Not a lot of chemistry. But changing lines every game will do that.

So what you’re saying is that losing affects your Pairwise ranking adversely?  Someone should make the coaching staff aware of this!

[Parkers Pros]

Denver is the real deal. Our defense looks horrible.  We needed some guys to take a step on defense this year and am not seeing it. Where is our breakout?

[bcblues]

Crap 1-1
