UND @ Purple Cows

[nodakgirl93]

Both Zmolek and MacDonald out. Dang. Hobie gets the start in net! Littler in while Croal sits.

HOBIE TIME

That 3rd D pairing hopefully stands tall and proves themselves tonight.

Hopefully they can find some chemistry offensively. Last night was sloppy. Nothing crisp. Puck seemed to be bouncing as much as the stream.

Really hoping that none of these injuries are too long-term.
A rough gauntlet of games coming up...will need to be healthy.

That pair Junenvil and Komzak was beyond bad during the exhibition. Both on ice for 2 even-strength goals and both were ugly. I’m guessing those 2 will rarely be on the ice at the same time because they would be a liability. Assume someone else will pair with them each time they are out. This game could get scary because Kato will be forechecking hard knowing out youth and lack of speed outside of our top 3 D tonight. But Strathmann getting elevated to a top 4 and Jubenvil getting thrown into the fire will pay huge dividends down the road.

UND's top defensemen played big minutes in the series opener.

Jake Livanavage played a team-high 25:28. Freshman E.J. Emery played 24:20. Abram Wiebe played 24:09. MacDonald was at 19:42.

Rookies Andrew Strathmann (12:16) and Jubenvill (6:39) were typically paired with older players by defenseman coach Dillon Simpson.

I agree. I won’t be betting on UND tonight. Sitting this game out

[Parkers Pros]

Is this game on any non-pay sites tonight?

Feeling good about tonight 

[bcblues]

Let's play hockey!

[bcblues]

Well, PK right outta the gate

[siouxfaninseattle]

Not the start we hoped for....

[brianvf]

Nice early kill.

[brianvf]

PP time

[bcblues]

That was a pretty good kill. Mankato never really got the cycle going.

Now a PP

[brianvf]

Under review for possible major against MSUM

Monty getting minutes on D.

[Oxbow6]

Mavs 1-0

[SiouxFan100]

I don’t like this playing from behind stuff

[bcblues]

We can't slack off the first period against the likes of BU, or it could get ugly fast.

[willythekid]

I'm guessing that Hedquist would love to have that first goal back but give credit to that Eisele kid, it was a nhl quality wrister...

[bcblues]

0-1 after one.
