stoneySIOUX Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I go back and forth debating if we should rest guys, get Hobie a night in net. From everything I've seen and dug into for the PWR predictor, we're pretty solidly stuck in third for the time being, but certainly can go up or down if we don't get some points this weekend. Personally, I'd LOVE to sweep UNO and make them have to run the gauntlet in the NCHC tourney to be able to keep us out of Sioux Falls. They impressed me last time we played them, but clearly have been inconsistent all season. Let's sweep these guys. All cylinders firing heading into the playoffs. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightingsioux4life Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Giving Hobie a start in net is a good idea. You never know when you'll need him and he has shown he can play at this level. We should take advantage of our depth and rest guys that are banged up. Give everybody some playing time so they are somewhat prepared if we need to put them in during the playoffs.

He's capable and we've learned that, so why not put our best on the ice? Just to clarify, I'm playing Devil's Advocate because I keep going back and forth with this idea myself lol. Definitely agree to give banged up guys a rest, for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep the train on the tracks - start Persson. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNDColorado Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I don't think it's a bad idea to give Hobie a game because I don't think there is much to lose. I wouldn't be surprised in Zmolek gets a rest as he seems pretty banged up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxfaninseattle Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 We're playing a desperate team this weekend. My crystal ball sees a split and Hobey in the net for one game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxFanatic Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Hobie backstopped UND to a win in the Saturday game against Omaha so I wouldn’t be opposed to him getting a start. Also wouldn’t be surprised if Zmolek sits out. Either way, there is still something to play for and that is to minimize Omaha’s chances of getting into the tournament as them getting in would likely mean UND being placed elsewhere. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I would start Hobie one of the games. Not sure if matters which one. For all you coaches and former players, would it be better to tell the back up he starting the first game or second game of a series? I hope some of our normally healthy scratches (are there any?) get playing time as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They mentioned during the game and during the postgame that if it would have been a more important game, he would have been playing. I'm not surprised that he's sitting against UNO (and maybe Miami as well), but I'd hope that he'd be back playing his regular shift by Frozen Faceoff (assuming the boys take out Miami, of course). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
