Talent isn't the issue. Having everyone on the same page every night is what needs to happen for this team to win consistently.

We score more gpg 3.67 and SC 3.29 but SC only gives up 1.71 gpg and we give up 3 gpg.  Basse has a gaa of 1.29 while Helsten and DeRidder have a gaa of 2.73 and 2.95 respectively. Basse save % .948 and both our goalie save % .869 and .891. SC has been stingy on defense and we've been porous. We've gotta score early and play good defense which we can do.

This weekend, they'll head to No. 3 St. Cloud State (7:30 p.m. Friday, 6 p.m. Saturday at Herb Brooks National Hockey Center) shorthanded on the back end again. Frisch will not be available to play, UND coach Brad Berry said.

Johnson is expected to be available, but it still means Bast could play a big role against the Huskies.

Quote

St. Cloud State will play without fifth-year senior Spencer Meier, according to a report from The Rink Live. Meier has been battling an injury for a couple of weeks.

The Huskies may be getting a pair of forwards back, though. Kyler Kupka and Chase Brand have both returned to practice, The Rink Live reported.

I was at the GAME they treated UND fans like crap.  It was very clear to me they didn't want to play UND.  We granted them their wish and moved out of the WCHA.  Yet here they are again.  I am still in the camp of why are these guys in the NCHC?  I am all for them going away.  I want nothing to do with SCSU simply put an awful school.

You don’t think UND salvages a split at all? I think UND had to have learned their lesson from the big ice on at the Goofs, to be able to at least get a split. Thinking the boys come out inspired and play the best hockey we’ve seen all year.

As ugly a ss.com has ever gotten....

it's still a Mmajestic county club when compared to Stearns County MN.

My brother goes to the series every year. And every year they get treated like garbage. They've been yelled at, spat on, and gotten threats of violence. Certain St Clown twitter fan pages going "Hurr Durr UND bad" is one of the most hypocritical things I've ever heard.

Here I was thinking a split on the road at SCSU this weekend would be a good result.

#23 North Dakota? I realize they got some votes, but I've never seen a number ranking greater than 20.

Our annual hockey trip is headed to St. Cloud this weekend. FWIW, we are 14-1-2 in games attended.

Excellent timing for the trip!

Btw who was the loss against?

If we are fortunate enough to win, I think the games will be close.  UND has been in tight games all season, I don't see that changing, especially against a highly ranked team on the road.

Unfortunately it was against St. Cloud back in 2014. Looks like the Saturday game.

UND was lucky to get a split against Minnesota.  Out shot 2 to 1 on the weekend bailed out by Deridder.  If UND gets outplayed like that this weekend they will easily get swept.

They were also 1+ minute away from a sweep. Been over this SOG discussion a million times. That's what Minnesota does ... they fire the puck from everywhere. That series was a close one.

IIRC UND was tied or lead about 115 minutes in that series.

Yep. I won't deny Minnesota carried the play territorially for a significant stretch in the series, but those games were both very close.
