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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSU showed tonight that they are no push-over...they never are. Hopefully we can get some players back in the next couple weeks. Robert Morris will return North Dakota to the win column.

Defense and Goaltending are not going to win us games right now. Not putting blame on them, but they need help. 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.

No, I mean get a few guys that are late bloomers that have worked their tail off to get a chance nobody gave them when they were 16 and the blue chippers we covet were being recruited…Blaise and Gino and Hak were great at finding and plugging those guys in. Get them when they are 19/20 not 5th year seniors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t buy that look at DUs roster not too different in the types of players but how they are coached is making a massive difference in outcomes at the end of a season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big A HG Posted Sunday at 03:28 AM Share Posted Sunday at 03:28 AM This team has no identity. Without an identity, you're going to play without purpose, and that's what UND games look like. Are we a race horse team beating you with speed and skating up and down the ice? No. Are we grind it out physical teams making the opponent earn every inch of the ice? Not even close. Are we defensive-minded, controlling neutral zone and playing cautious but optimistic? Nope. Are we a team loaded with snipers using puck movement to give our guys clean looks. Haven't seen it. What are we?? On a good night, we play with a bit of energy and have enough skill to overcome. On a bad night, we look totally lost and players have no purpose in their movements other than to react to whatever the situation gives, instead of controlling the game and playing with intent. What does Berry actually coach? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have been 4-1 ratio. Pohlkamp took a visit to UND, but said no thanks, and transferred to Denver without any need for a recruiting visit.

Once UND gets injured players back, this team can go the distance. You aren’t going to see that this year. We’ll get a couple great games, but mostly meh.

scpa0305 Posted Sunday at 04:02 AM Share Posted Sunday at 04:02 AM Definitely a tough season so far. Didn’t see this coming. Injuries stink but good teams find a way. DU is obviously good but again, dzone breakdowns hurt us bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many shots not hitting the net, going wide or over the net. I keep thinking the same thing. Gives in chance for a rebound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
