It’s crazy how good goaltending can make a coach look like a genius, whereas poor goaltending can make a coach look like a…a…like a guy who’s not gonna coach here much longer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah..I guess my point was that he had another game with a sub 90% save percentage. Which is not good. But yet everyone is happy, because we won. I was too, but those numbers still aren’t good. and I’ve never sat here and bashed the goalies…numbers have been really bad all season, but I’ve put more on the team D. last night we locked down and DeRidder was solid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea if coaching is part of his plan forward, just thoughts in an idle mind. I meant the pipe shooting. Seemed he hit iron more than net...

But he still has a propensity for the backhand blind pass to an area. Did it twice Saturday. Could've eaten it each time. Glass and boards were invented for a reason. Use them.

Sucks his career here ended the way it did, but he captained a team that made a major turn around despite hiccups and always sounded like a coach in interviews. If we're speculating future coaches when we have no idea if they're even interested in coaching ... After a Covid season at UND, then a year and a half in the A, followed by 282 games in the NHL, and another season in the A before moving to coaching ... Ethan Frisch looks good in a suit behind the bench I'd guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully that doesn't sit well with the coaches and the boys and gets them fired up to redeem themselves for that rather embarrassing stat. I know that was the stat displayed inside the arena on Saturday night, but it's actually the 2nd time in 21 years (or the 3rd time in 28 years)... March 8-9, 2002 at Minnesota (2-7 L, 3-4 OTL) March 15-16, 2019 at Denver (0-2 L, 2-4 L) Prior to 2002, the last time UND was on the road for the first round of the conference playoffs was in 1995. The last time UND had home ice and did not advance to the league semifinals was in 1996. That means that from 1997-2022, North Dakota hosted the first round 22 times and advanced 22 times. During that stretch, UND went on the road twice and got swept twice, missing the WCHA Final Five in 2002 and the NCHC Frozen Faceoff in 2019. (There was no NCHC tourney in 2020, and the format was modified in 2021.) Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I'm thinking 0.920 for a best 2 of 3 UND series win. If UND sweeps it's more like 0.940. UND needs at least the 'tending it's been getting since @DU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omaha is averaging 31.5 shots a game. Rounding up to 32, DeRidder would need to stop 30 of 32 to be 0.9375. Works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
