Walsh Hall Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 UND is near the top in the nation in fewest shots allowed per game, and is dead last in save percentage. We’ve played one more game than SCSU, given up 3 more shots on goal for the year, and have given up 33 more goals. Sure there could be better D, better back checking… but don’t kid yourself, the issue for this team is one dimensional. By almost any other metrical this team is very good. The goalies just aren’t stopping the puck. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SIOUXELEVENS Posted January 15, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 15, 2023 I agree the goaltending is brutal , but how many goals have been scored by leaving someone uncovered in front of the net or not covering the trailer on the play , way way to many. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kab Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Not a hockey expert but I noticed 2 errors that resulted in goals we failed to clear the zone when they were on the man advantage, they kept it in and scored, clear the puck and penalty time is over puck is 9n the corner boards and all our players are in or around the scrum, they clear the puck to their guy in front of the goal and score i don’t know where each player should be but I would think someone is responsible to cover their players 2 simple plays that cost us the game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dzone coverage is atrocious. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will more the likely miss the playoffs for the 3rd time in his tenure. This team hasn’t improved all year no matter how much coach speak we get every week. Time to move on before we don’t matter at all. We are well on our way to becoming Wisconsin. And that is simply unacceptable. If Berry cannot fix it, he needs to go. And if that means "spending other people's money" to buy him out, then so freaking be it. This isn't high school athletics where it's all about "teaching life lessons". The clock is ticking people. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t find anything to quantify that assertion. There’s no question that there are lapses. Are those lapses statistically significant or are they more noticeable and memorable due to the puck ending up in the net at a much higher rate when confronted with those situations? It probably a little of both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 The quiet parts are now going to be said: 9 and 17 are defensive liabilities. See: WMU seventh goal. Four white jerseys at the boards and a shooter sitting open in the slot. They need to be split up. 10 and 19 need to sit. Put in 18 and 26. At this point it's about next season's roster and seeing who can develop over the next 12 games. Our defensemen need to stay on their feet! One of the goals 24 and 3 were both down on the ice trying to block passes and instead hung out 1 worse as they slid through the play. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Someone mentioned next year's defense Gone: 2, 3, 7 Could be gone: 15, 25 Returns: 4, 6, 24 <--the turnover trio (OK, they ice it unnecessarily also) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIOUXELEVENS Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I think Frisch plays a fifth year , Kleven may not , plays the guys you recruited and develop them into the players you thought they would be , agree 17 and 9 need to be split up both puck hawks all the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jk Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I sadly but apparently thankfully missed it. Curious how Kunz looked. I've felt his first step has been a touch slow this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has no business unless he’s already graduated. He’s not a bad player but pro hockey is not forgiving. I’d stay and develop another year. He’s young, no need to rush things. Unless he doesn’t like the direction the program is going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have just eaten it on the wall. similar to 25, not sure what the point of leaving would be. I’d spend another year developing.
