Despite the loss this team is heading in the right direction 

Agreed.
UND is better than BU at this point from what I saw this weekend.
Some fortunate PP calls both nights and a lot of missed chances for UND.

Shelve the Nodak jerseys. Their record is not good in them. 

Would have been a big win tonight. Shoot. 

Hate the NODAK uniforms.

I’m going to say 5/6 missed breakaways

James alone was 0/3 or 0/4.

Have they ever won with them?

Think they beat Minnesota at home during covid on the Saturday night after getting stomped by the Gophers on Friday night.

Breakaway training on the horizon?                                          Maybe bringing back a couple of NHL former players that knew how to deal with a breakaway.

Might need to bring out the business suits....

I wouldn't say they got stomped. It was 2-0 for most of the game until the goalie got pulled. But they couldn't do anything offensively that game. 

But don't want to get off track so back to tonight's game!

UND should have played Hobie. I stand by it. Rotate 2 goalies until later in the year.

Yes. Quite a few times actually. I’d have to do a deep dive to look them up but I remember several. 

[Esoteric]

Post-game review of goals is very good.  The commentators add a great deal of depth to understand the goal being reviewed.

I actually agree. I wish they would have stuck with the rotation. I hope they go back to it next weekend. 

[SiouxScore]

Much better hockey this weekend than last weekend. Goaltending has to be better.

You’re thinking of last year’s game when we wore black on Saturday!

TJ was too good last night to change.

I am getting the feeling we are in a similar season like was had in ‘22-‘23……

Why? They’ve lost bigger games in those jerseys too. 

[bcblues]

Personally, I think it is better to have a go-to goalie and stick with him throughout the season. Provided that goalie is YOUR GUY. I also personally think it is hard to have YOUR GUY when you are constantly rotating 5th year goalies into the program.

This team seems like it will Progress faster than  that team. Plus that year had older guys that were role players playing big minutes when we had other guys that should have been up the chart. Our young D corps did well this weekend against one of the most gifted offensive teams in the country. The young pups have gotten some good reps against 2 very different types of teams and held their own

And not even close

[Washburn Sioux]

It seemed like the Sioux players "Lost an Edge" too often, and its their rink. What's up with that?
