Don’t forget, producing goes both ways. If you score one goal but are responsible for two goals against, that isn’t getting you anywhere. In fact, we have scored enough this year, but giving up all of the odd man rushes has killed us. 1 1 Quote

Last three game we got more out of 18 and 20 and 21 than most of the 4th and 5th year guys at forward. Seems to me, we beat Western by shutting down their top guns. Would bet that the 4th and 5th year guys had a lot to do with that, but yeah, let’s go back to a wide open game and hope our goalies can pull out some wins for us. 1 2 Quote

The Sicatoka Posted January 8, 2023 Posted January 8, 2023 10 seemed off at times; probably why 21 was out with 27 and 19 when he scored. Quote

90siouxfan Posted January 8, 2023 Posted January 8, 2023 He seems to have been banged up for 4 years, really puts a question mark on the 5th year decision. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted January 8, 2023 Posted January 8, 2023 UND has a problem at defense … next year. 6 didn’t get in ahead of 4 and 24 and 4 and 24 each made multiple big defensive gaffs. That’s scary by itself. The other five? Three are out of eligibility. Another just had a four goal weekend. Quote
SIOUXELEVENS Posted January 8, 2023 Posted January 8, 2023 Bring Frisch back and Kleven if he chose s to they will be fine. Quote

They have just missed at that position, seemingly, in the last few years. I'm far from an expert, but they seem to value decent size and skating, and figure they can teach them to play defense. But some of the guys are struggling with the latter part of the equation. Thank goodness the portal has been there, because 2, 3 and 7 have all been pretty solid. For next year, there are some good players lined up, but "young on D" is tough. I'm guessing the portal will be part of the solution again. Quote
90siouxfan Posted January 8, 2023 Posted January 8, 2023 Elite Prospects listed 6 incoming D, 2 are drafted (6th & 7th rounds) and 2 others are fairly highly thought of... Quote

Of course 16 doesn’t do us any good right now but it’s a hell of a lot better than being in the 20’s where they had been for quite some time. If they can somehow win 3 of the next 4 then they are truly back in it The next three series are with conference foes, you really think this team can come out flat like they did against Lindenwood and still pull out a win? I am glad they won and got the sweep, but they were ugly wins. 2 Quote

Reminds me of Nick Jones, transfer from Ohio State. Good faceoff guy and a dynamic player when he was healthy. He just wasn't healthy very much when he was here. I see he is still playing though, Manitoba Moose. Quote

Popular Post jk Posted January 9, 2023 Popular Post Posted January 9, 2023 Worth noting Lindenwood was tied in the third against MN, trailed Michigan by one late in the third, and was tied with Denver with three minutes left. They're not a disaster. 6 Quote
