That was flabbergasting. More hilarious is they took Loheit and James, not Loheit and Jamernik. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiSioux Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I think it days a lot that many of these hits were by Loheit. To quote Remember the Titans, "attitude reflects leadership, captain". If your captain is playing this way why would you not expect the rest of the team to follow suit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 < in my best NHL Dept of Player Safety review and sanction announcement voice > As can be seen in the video, Schmaltz was low, turning to the boards, and defenseless. Loheit had time to brake or avoid contact; instead, note Loheit's right arm. There was primary contact to the head/neck region with a follow through into the boards. This is contact to the head boarding. This is a dangerous play. For comparison: to the head and avoidable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 They found a second angle of the Gotz elbow shot to Johannes' jaw. ... wonder why there isn't additional video of Loheit's hit on Schmaltz ... hmmm ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D and Goaltending have been better than we could have hoped for. It really has been impressive. All six of our regular defensemen along with Persson have been brilliant. Such a dramatic difference than last season. They four players brought in from the portal are all so sound and structured in their own zone, you can are 100% certain why they were recruited for this season (and some for more).

It's certainly the only reason that they lost. It's INSANE that's his lede of the story. We absolutely dominated that game outside of the first four minutes. Had that major never occurred, they would still have had to scramble for TWO ENGs. Not one. Two. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL he's basically a point per game and is tied for second in goals on the team. Not his normal pace, but hardly not a good start for the guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to credit all eight. Losing Zmolek and Pehrson for a couple games each, and Pyke getting dinged and not finishing a game, and still the performance met expectations. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Expanding on that last thought: The game we thought we might need Montgomery to play defense we were able to play him at forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burd Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 There are so many aspects of recruiting that are difficult to predict, so many moving parts that must perform well as a whole. We don’t know that this D corps will continue to play this well, but their fundamentals have been so strong. It’s not showy talent, just reliable and efficient play. I hope coach Simpson is part of the reason why; he’ll still be here when new players replace the old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burd Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I also wonder how involved he is with teaching defensive play of the forwards, who are an important part of the defense. That, and I wonder about world peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goon Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Speaking of things that make me smile, I re-read Bruce Ciskie's pre-season predictions and it seems he underestimated the UND hockey team. I know it's early, but the eight D-men in question have performed pretty well against a really tough schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not his normal pace, but hardly not a good start for the guy. Jimmy Snuggerud is at 9 points as well. When you are playing the best of the best, I think a point per game is an acceptable benchmark. There have been a few games when Gaber wasn't as noticeable, but overall I think he's been good. He isn't shooting as much as he did last year either, and to me that shows he wants to be less predictable by giving the puck back to the distributors. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaber may realize he no longer has the best wrist shot or one-timer on the team, but still top 10% in the league. If he realizes that his experience makes him more dangerous: he can shoot and he knows who is likely open. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
