Need to be able to solve defense oriented teams. Hope the team can figure it out before tomorrow

+1

Hopefully Hobie can play well tomorrow, he earned the start with his play tonight.
Boys need to capitalize on whatever chances they can get, because Cornell will limit those chances.

We already having a “must win” Saturday?

It’s sure nice coming out of the gate hot and not having to worry about being a bubble team but I’ll take whatever has them playing the best hockey at the end of the year. Frustrating times now no doubt.

Hobie played well in relief.  Can't give up 3 on 4 shots.  That's a loss....every time. 

Welcome to being the starting goalie, Hobie. TJ is a quality guy, but he's not starter material. 

Wonder if the team was partly discombobulated with Berg being absent & TJ not being solid. 

Anyone know if Strathmann or Croal ever returned to the game?

Boston U got smoked by Michigan.  That win is looking less impressive.

Looks like Michigan had the same formula that we did.
UND got the 5 goal 1st period.  Michigan got the 5 goal 3rd period.

Doesn't sound too promising.
Boys need to dig deep for a gutsy win tomorrow.

Defenseman Andrew Strathmann left the game in the first period after being hammered into the boards by 6-foot-6 forward Ondrej Psnicka. He did not return. Forward Cody Croal left the game in the second period after an open-ice, shoulder-to-shoulder hit.

Berry said Strathmann is doubtful for the series finale at 6 p.m. Central on Saturday. He was unsure on Croal's condition immediately after the game.

UND is already playing without four players due to injury. First-line center Cameron Berg, defenseman Bennett Zmolek, defenseman Tanner Komzak and goaltender Kaleb Johnson did not make the trip to Ithaca because of injuries.

We've had much better teams go out east and lose a game against worse teams than Cornell.  Win tomorrow and all is good.  I don't judge Berry for October, I judge Berry for the month of March.  We're stuck with him for now, so reserving judgment on the season until then.  Going on nine years....

Amen.

The tough non-conference schedule will help mold and shape the team for the NCHC meat grinder. It will also have them battle tested for the postseason.
