ask onyone that has watched a hockey game at und- beatineau if arena size matters.....shirtless wonders with chainsaws hanging over the glass

The national audience needs to witness hockey in the Lumberdome.  Probably not a lot different than it was 55 years ago, except that it's no longer natural ice.

This is probably a "duh" thing but I'll put it out there. This year's team is winning by scoring on absolute snipes. Last night is a good example. The goals by Ness and Blake were perfect shots, right in the corner. Lots of goals this year just like that, and under the crossbar and just inside the pipe. Quite a change from last year.

On his goal, Ness’s release looked exceptional.

someone pointed out that a snipe that hit iron and went out would be cured by using smaller nets....  could that actually be a thing?  I mean we have an altitude room to deal with 2 opponents, why not nets for practice that are 3/4" smaller than regulation?   Would it hurt the goalies?

This team from a pure entertainment perspective is so fun to watch. There have been many Berry era teams that were less enjoyable than watching Bob Ross on PBS.

It was a fun game to watch last night. There was a lot of energy in the building when I got there.

An overlooked ingredient of title teams?  Upperclassmen with experience and skill playing 4th line and 3rd pair minutes.   Thinking back to 2016, 2000, 1987 a common ingredient is team first guys in those roles. This UND team seems to have it too.

14 league games down, 10 to go.

UND with a 4pt lead on SCSU and a 9pt lead on CC/DU.
3rd thru 6th is a cluster with only 3pts separating CC, DU, WMU, and UMD.

If there's a year when it would be much more beneficial to finish 1st rather than 2nd or 3rd...it is this year.
Playing Miami in the 1st round of the playoffs as opposed to UNO, UMD, WMU, etc would be much preferred.

Hopefully Perron can get going again against Miami next weekend.
He scored in both Miami games earlier this season, but now hasn't scored since the Alaska series.

Agreed...it would be nice to get some more guys going heading into the stretch run.
