The top team in the land visits the Ralph. Denver @ UND

[cowboys5xsbs]

We drop to 26th in the pairwise

We really need to work on getting shots on net. Too many shots not hitting the net, going wide or over the net.

DU is a machine

Overall thought it was a good effort all weekend. DU is very good.  I would be curious what the heck Montgomery was thinking going off on the third DU goal. Even with no stick, just get in the way of someone.

100%

I'm not sure I've ever seen a d man leave a rush coming at them, even with a broken stick.

Did he go off or go to get a new stick?

Yeah, at least hit em on the way to the bench. Or better yet, play without the stick until we can clear the zone.

From what I have seen so far this year we are not a tournament team right now. I hope we can build to that but that pairwise is probably a fair reflection.

I’m not much for moral victories but I gotta give UND credit tonight. I can accept a loss when they play hard. DU is simply just a damn good team that doesn’t beat themselves.

Yeah they're gonna be a tough out at the end of the season.
UND responded very well tonight and played a much better game.  Just didn't have the horses to get that tying goal.

Time to win at least 5 of the next 6 games.  BSU showed tonight that they are no push-over...they never are.
Hopefully we can get some players back in the next couple weeks.

I thought our effort was much better than Friday; unfortunately we end up with the same result.  DU’s forecheck was noticeable throughout; they even had good pressure on UND when they were on the PK.  Howdy Doody for DU is a hell of a coach.

Offense needs to get it together and contribute more goals. Defense and Goaltending are not going to win us games right now. Not putting blame on them, but they need help.

Agreed, but Pairwise in November doesn’t. 

[siouxweet]

Every time DU had the puck they looked dangerous UND looked like a bunch of Peewees when they had the puck with no idea what to do.

Every game matters no matter what time of the season. But looking at the pairwise right now is insane because the amount of data available makes it too volatile. Give it another 3-4 weeks and then start looking. Need more games from the Ivies and a few more conference games to have decent information.

Robert Morris will return North Dakota to the win column.

Having the extra defenseman tonight helps with battling fatigue and allows more effort to get to the puck.  The injuries have allowed game experience for other team-mates.

Got too many blue chippers…get some guys that are heart and soul and have been through the wars of Jr hockey and clawed their way to get where they are now…not guys that coasted since they were anointed at age 15.

All the they played well and gave a good effort talk is one step short of being satisfied getting a participation ribbon.
