Although still deciding on either WMU or CC series to come back to GF for...depends on what my son has going on in school. I'll let you know as soon as we figure that out! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming Hobie doesn't bolt due to lack of playing time, if Heil comes in next year then our goalie trio would be set. If he comes in 26/27 then there needs to be another goalie...either recruit (overager or WHL?) or portal. I find it highly unlikely Heil will be here next year. At least at this point. His current team does a rotation where Heil only plays on Saturdays. He needs more games than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the injuries related to the training or lack of certain training? A fresh/new set of eyes on things might be good. Same eyes/mind been in place for a very long time. Just a thought. I agree. Hockey’s players don’t have to be able to bench press 1000 pounds , they need lean muscles. I’m no expert but why our guys have more injuries than average? Also, what do they have for skating instruction , i don’t mean drills , do we have a skating instructor who can actually analyze their weaknesses ?

brianvf Posted Monday at 01:26 AM Share Posted Monday at 01:26 AM You know special teams are struggling when two separate articles are written within a 3-day span about the PP/PK woes. https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/unds-power-play-woes-without-cameron-berg-continue-in-loss-to-denver Quote UND is now 0-for-11 without Berg on the first power play unit. The Hawks were 0-for-7 at Cornell without Berg, and the issues continued Friday against the Pioneers as the West Fargo native is week-to-week with a lower-body injury. The Hawks are 9-for-20 on the power play with Berg in the lineup. His targeted return is for sometime around Christmas break. https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/und-penalty-kill-continues-skid-in-loss-to-denver Quote That was the 10th power play goal allowed by UND this season. Last season, the Fighting Hawks didn’t give up 10 power play goals until Jan. 12. UND's penalty kill dropped to 74.4 percent, ranking 51st of 64 Division-I teams.

He’s got a .900 save percentage, 7-1-1 record though. Hobie played over 100 games of junior hockey. I’m guessing they want to see a similar amount of games played. So based on what UND has done previously I’d say they’re either going portal or getting another recruit. Which annoys me because I don’t think any of our portal guys have ever really lived up to expectations. Would rather bring in a recruit. I could be wrong, maybe Heil starts getting more games at some point this season. but that’s my take. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that it seems like the others underachieved, especially with how good Ludvig was at Miami compared to his season last year. I wouldn't mind seeing us grab a 20-year old from the CHL to compete with Hobie next year so Heil can have another year to cook. I'm betting Hobie gets the start this coming Friday; Not because TJ was awful but because it's a weaker opponent and you know they want him to get more games.

I think we should start both goalies (one on Friday, one on Saturday) until one emerges. Then ride that guy into the playoffs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
