tnt Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 8 minutes ago, cowboys5xsbs said: This is what gets me. Where are the supposed goal scorers on this team. A lot of times when you play rivalry games and NCAA tournament games you need to either have hard skill perform or have your grinders play a big part by going to the net. This is my concern with this team when the power play isn’t clicking, they need some hard work goals to turn the tide. Didn’t get to the net very well, and that includes the guys that have to play that way. I suspect Ness will be in the lineup tomorrow to try add some of that. Let’s see if they can turn it around tomorrow and play with more of an edge. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nodakgirl93 Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 This game ended very similar to the last friday night the gophers played at the Ralph. They got the empty netter to make it 4-1 and then scored again.... saturday night und was the better team and won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to recall UND being ranked #1 in the PWR at the end of the year in back to back seasons just a couple years ago. Unless you define "long time" as only the last 18 months or so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnt Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Guys like McLaughlin need to fight through a few checks if they aspire to get to the next level. Sometimes when they got rubbed out they let up and allowed the gophers any easy zone exit. Not much cycling this game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the gophers don’t have a nice weight room and facilities. Usually when you get first round draft picks they have speed and/or strength to their game and a competitive edge. Don’t think UND was totally outclassed, just need some extra effort and play a little more clean. We all said UND would need to come together, so losing to the #1 team in a game where we weren’t crisp is hardly shocking. Hopefully a better effort tomorrow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what concerns me, especially this year. After last year, UND has something to prove. Pressure is on even more tomorrow, as they need to get off to the better start that Berry has been stressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We looked slow and unable to pass the puck and move our feet. Embarrassing. I don’t think there was even one difficult save that Close had to make. Need to win tomorrow so we’re not digging ourselves a hole. Failure to make the NC$$ tourney this year should mark the end of the Brad Berry era. Tomorrow should tell us quite a bit about this team. Close made like 7-8 really good saves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Wilbur Posted October 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 21, 2023 I think you could see changes tomorrow for Albrecht and Britt. Albrecht got the bench in the 2nd and Britt didn't play a ton in the third after he did take a shot at the end of the first. We need more from Gaber. A play that defined his night was in the third with a low-high play where our d man got the puck to the net and there was a rebound and he's doing a fly by almost behind the net with a rebound where he should have stopped. It's October. A great time to be humbled and look at areas where we just didn't have it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
108498 Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 A few years ago UND played in a three or four overtime game at regionals. That was the last true memory I recall from a good team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Username Taken Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Disappointing game offensively. Good first. Fell apart after that. Some d breakdowns to be expected. Good goaltending. MN will !@#$ the bed when it matters like all MN teams. Regular season world beaters. Figure out how to break the middle of the ice tomorrow.

fightingsioux4life Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 I figured people would be pulling this out of the closet after one bump in the road: Three games is too small of a sample size to start talking about coaching changes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
