The Beavs @ UND

I loved the Gopher color guy’s comment after Smith scored the 9th goal about rubbing salt in the wound and basically risk waking a sleeping giant for the following game. What’s Smith supposed to do, NOT shoot that puck as he’s coming down Broadway? Plus, it wasn’t like he did some epic cele after the goal.

And surprisingly, Clymer didn't make the same comments when Minnesota swept Arizona State at home the following year 10-2, and 10-0.   Clymer isn't one to be taken seriously.

Last year, it seemed like the kiss of death. This year, UND has been close to the expected goal totals.

In statistics, that's called an outlier lol.

BSU a bit more offensive so far this season:

Bemidji State has made a habit of furious comebacks early this season.

The Beavers rallied from down 4-2 in the final seven minutes against Minnesota Duluth to force overtime.

Two weeks later, they trailed Lake Superior State 3-0 and scored three in a row to force overtime.

The following week, Bemidji State got down 4-0 to Michigan Tech, the Central Collegiate Hockey Association's preseason favorite, before scoring six in a row to win.

Doesn't sound like Schmaltz will play against BSU but should be ready to go against DU:

Quote

UND head coach Brad Berry say it's "doubtful" that Schmaltz, a versatile forward, will suit up during the two-game series at 7:07 p.m. Friday and 6:07 p.m. Saturday in Ralph Engelstad Arena.

But there is some good news.

Berry said Schmaltz isn't far off.

"The good sign is that he's practicing in the majority of the drills we're doing," Berry said, "and we probably project him to be playing against Denver a week from now."

Quote

UND center Owen McLaughlin, who missed Saturday night's series finale due to an illness, has been an full participant all week in practice and is expected to play Friday against Bemidji State.

Although an illness has been going through the team in the last week, everyone practiced Wednesday.

I remember that. My thought was "Boo, hoo, hoo!". 

When you treat other programs like dirt, what do they think is going to happen?

Who's providing the shoutout?   
I'm guessing that none of those happen...BSU is no pushover and they always seem to play a bit better against UND.

Ditto. We play Bem who gets sky high for UND and play us so tough and combine it with lack of students and quiet crowd and same old same old if don’t watch out. 

[brianvf]

Looking like another Thanksgiving hangover so far.
BSU winning lots of the battles.

[bcblues]

We are being out hustled.

[brianvf]

PP time. 
Let's see if our PP looks any better against the worst PK in the nation.

Yup. Wake up call, UND.  We always seem to make Bemidji look like a top 16 team.
