Might’ve been a cross check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loheit has some Pionk in him for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loheit has some Pionk in him for sure. There was also a hit by Loheit earlier in the game that should have been reviewed as a possible 5 minute major. He has been very reckless lately, and you would think after the Adam Johnson tragedy, that there would be a little more respect amongst the players, as you never know when an awkward shove into the boards can turn tragic.

Wearing the crown, one of those good problems to have. Good problems indeed. I really thought the most likely scenario for this squad was a first half filled with struggles as the d-core and goalie get acquainted with each other, then a Hakstol-like improvement after Christmas. But the team defense--including the forwards--has been so much better than expected. The defensemen are poised with the puck, and Persson has been excellent. The result? UND is currently tied for third nationally in goals against/game. Getting all these new guys on the same page defensively has been a major accomplishment. Kudos to the coaching staff. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally get it, but it's absolutely a reflection of good things for our team. Doesn't guarantee, of course, but cmon... you can't tell me it's not nice to see our favorite team's name on the top of the list.

Simpson is the slam dunk hire everybody thought Shaw was going to be. His wife being a GF native (I think, he said something to that effect) hopefully means he doesn't move on in a few years to advance his career. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But honestly, no one is going to remember that we finished #1 in a national poll on November 20, 2023. All that really matters is the PWR, and we are in the Top 5 right now. My main concern is not having a hiccup in one of these non-conference games we have coming up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jk Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 I'd say the best part for me is not the ranking per se, but that they look the part. They've played some good teams and not looked out of place. They've played some iffy teams and made them look out of place. Can they still lose to anyone, or lose early in the tournament (if they make it), yes. But they look like a tough out. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, as you say, knowing that a very good team might not mean a banner. But it will almost certainly mean we get to see a lot of exciting hockey this year, and that's something to be grateful for. Every phase has been fun to watch this year--offense, defense, and goal tending. PP will get there--Karl has proven himself with less to work with.
