We suck 3x3

Especially when we don't win the first faceoff.

[Esoteric]

Is that a 4th loss in a row.  

[crb1]

This team needs to turn things around. Not a good trend we have found ourselves in. 

[hockeytherapy13]

Time to make some changes to these forward libes. We have regressed since november. Looking past the guys who were out tonight doesn’t matter because our Top 6 isn’t creating much at even strength. Trying the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results is insanity.

[nodakgirl93]

We still haven't fixed the 3 on 3 I see. Need to be more conservative. Can't play like it's pond hockey. 

[Username Taken]

Not gonna lose many games playing like that. Top guys out being the difference. 

[omahasioux1]

Defense like last year panicking and just tossing the puck up in the D zone

Who coaches the 3x3

[scpa0305]

Somethings off with these guys.

And…they don’t understand how to play 3x3. Do they not watch NHL puck?

[brianvf]

Hedquist played pretty darn well for getting his first playing time since the first exhibition game.
Some good stops for sure.

The USA goalie got more of a workout and played very well too.
Helps for him that UND hit 4 posts. 

[bcblues]

3v3 is all about possession. They didn't get the memo.

Well...our record and PWR would indicate otherwise. 

Time to buckle down and take care of business against Alaska next weekend.
Last chance to get some OOC improvement.

And..no 3x3 next weekend, please.

If a rebound happens and nobody was there to cash in on it, did the rebound actually happen? #deepthoughts 

Does a rebound exist? And what is it like?  If no one is there to hit the puck into the goal then there will be no noise from the UND fans willing to cheer.

Berry and Co. have some serious work to do - I was hoping it was started over Christmas break but it doesn't look like it.  How can we be this bad at 3 on 3?

[SIOUXELEVENS]

Needs to change up the lines.

Super frustrating. 

[SIOUXELEVENS]

It will be super frustrating if they piss the first half success down their legs. 

[Benny Baker]

I’m not much for positive spin, but…

… this team will never play 3x3 OT during NCHC or NCAA playoffs …

These 3x3 in overtime loses are meaningless when it comes to 5x5 hockey.

That felt like a loss to everyone (including the players that played).

That is true but in the regular season it still affects conference standings and pairwise ranking.

Once again UND had to not take the shot and instead pass.
