Switch up players on the power play also 

After last night, it's time to put Perron on the 1st unit

We played a solid game one that could have been won. Held a high scoring team pretty well. We need a PP here quickly. Our zone entries are brutal…they look nervous as they’re setting it up. Nothing looks smooth.

Did he do it after the draw?  I don’t know what the rule is, but I don’t think you can use your hand at all in the face-off dot.  Don’t know if that means after the original draw or not.

Yes, after the draw. The puck "may" have bounced off his hand. But he definitely did not cover it up.

I am not one to bag on refs but wasn't the first BU goal where the player came from the corner to the crease made a whole lot easier when the defender was cross checked to the ice right there.

That was the first thing I saw when I watched it in real time.

Agree on 26 moving up in the lineup. Had a great game last night.

I think switching James with Schmaltz makes great sense. 
Schmaltz would do well on a line with Johannes/Jammer and put James up with a couple skilled offensive players and I think that line could take off.

Crazy.

Shots on goal in the last four UND-Boston University games:

The Fighting Hawks have won zero of them.

They got to end this losing streak to BU tonight.

UND has to play well enough to overcome bad officiating tonight, just have to expect it and stay disciplined.

It’s early in the season, yes. But the same three headed monster continues to surface, just like it has  over last couple of seasons…..even strength scoring and untimely penalties.  UND has been very subpar in these areas. I’ve said before, the forwards don’t score on a regular basis 5x5 and it needs to change or close games will continue to go other way. At some point something has to give. 
 

I have said many times to a few, if UND is above .500 after 10 games, I would be surprised and happy. Will this team make the NCAA tourney, yes, but the swagger is not quite there yet for this team to be elite. The first 10 games will tell a lot, I like this group.  

 Lots to be excited about, locker room  leadership  much better than last year, but certainly a ways to go……

 

 

 

If UND loses tonight basically a .500 team season to date (albeit 5 games played vs top 10 ranked teams).  Gotta figure out the power play.

I am concerned that we can't put the biscuit in the basket, even with way more offensive talent than last year. Hopefully they'll figure it out before Christmas and be very hard to beat after that.

ESPN+ worth it for $11. Video buffered a bit early but refreshed without issues both last night & for the FB game. Video crisp & today the game synchronized the Bluetooth speaker with the Mighty 790 so we didn’t have to listen to homers, though have heard tons worse. Fingers crossed we can do the same tonight, without the Haavaad type twang. A girl can dream
