UND @ BU - Friday Gameday

[stoneySIOUX]

On the road! Excited to see how we do against another really talented team.

I was nervous playing the Gophers because of their top end talent and overall, I think we passed that test defensively. I hope we can do it again. Celebrini is really special. Hutson, too. Anyway, I am looking for a breakout weekend for Jayden Perron. He's been good so far, but I think he has a chance this weekend to really get going. Playing against Celebrini, his old teammate, should fire him up. I expect high-octane hockey and that's a game in which he can thrive. 

I think this weekend is a split, but I'm calling a win today. 

5-3 UND 

Perron, Gaber, Pyke, Jammer, Strinden

The North Dakota-Boston University series has not been kind to the road team.

UND will head to Agganis Arena to play a two-game set Friday and Saturday, looking for its first win over the Terriers in the city of Boston since 1990.

UND won Game 1 of a best-of-three NCAA tournament series on March 16, 1990. Associate coach Dane Jackson was on that team along with players like Lee Davidson, Dixon Ward, Russ Parent, Greg Johnson, Neil Eisenhut, Russ Romaniuk, Jason Herter, Garry Valk and Dave Hakstol. BU had Shawn McEachern, Tony Amonte, David Sacco, Keith Tkachuk and Scott Lachance, whose son, Shane, is on this year's team.

Since then, UND is 0-7-1 against the Terriers in Boston.

Dang.  Time to get that monkey off their back.

Maybe Worcester doesn't count as Boston, but: https://fightinghawks.com/news/2005/3/24/769232.aspx was still a helluva Sioux win out east against BU.

If memory serves, didn’t we also beat BC in that regional.

Yes we won the Beanpot that year.

No Pehrson tonight. Benoit draws in with his entourage in the stands.

BU was the preseason #1 ranked team in the nation. Celebrini, possibly the #1 overall pick in next year's NHL draft, leads the nation in goals. Lane Hutson might be the best defenseman in the nation. Thirteen drafted players on the roster (plus Celebrini).

Let's play.

I don't trust our D yet.  BU sweep.

Ran into an NCHC ref at the bar the other weekend(I grew up with him), even he agreed that it was onside and the refs didn't know what they were looking at.

Hoping to see our team establish that heavy line we’ve been missing and hope to slow down that potent BU offense this weekend. Will be a good test for the NCAA tourney this year.

Well, at least we know that the team didn't close down Joe Black's last night.

Hoping for a good showing against a really good opponent.

An early lead would certainly help.

Must be close to 400 UND Kelley green here tonight

Why does this sound like the radio broadcast?

Any chance this is on ESPN plus?

Not the greatest start…they look a lot faster than us.
