We better tighten up in our own end once the playoffs start.

Old Barn Guy at Home Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 After watching the past few games, I think that UND could get back on track with a few changes to the way they play. Not to be critical of the coaching staff, but I have to say that the conservative style of penalty killing is not a good choice for this team. They are quick enough to be pressuring the puck and causing turnovers and mistakes. Just watching the way Alaska and Omaha pressured UND's powerplay stands out as significant difference from UND. Another glaring deficiency has been the lack of proper positioning on the backcheck (if there has been any at all). Get between the man and our net and the puck, and don't just watch the guy, cover him, lift his stick, annoy him. Early this season I thought this team showed a lot of potential to be a top contender, and if they get together on the way they play when they don't have the puck, they still can be a top team. As was mentioned by another poster, earlier, the breakout seems to often be in "panic" mode, just flipping the puck out. This is another area that needs work from all UND players on the ice. I try not to get too down on this team. They have disappointed us fans lately, but I have to believe that Brad and his staff will "right the ship." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But giving up the PP’s. Taking terrible ozone penalties…not back checking. This team is missing the old “attention to details” element. It’s almost as if some players are chasing pts a bit hard and forgetting that the goal is to win the game. That’s what I took away from last nights game. For as good as Blake is, he can play a bit too selfish a good amount of the time. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jk Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Maybe Pyke and Livanavage plus a forward for a 3-on-3 shift. You know, the whole skating backward thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
