Here's a crazy stat:

Andrew - last goal was Dec 6 against Miami
Kunz - last goal was Dec 7 against Miami
Jamernik - last goal was Nov 8 against UMD

This is a very interesting stat. I’ll give Jammer a little more leeway since he got injured 2 weeks after the Duluth series. He hasn’t had the punch he had prior to his injury but he still seems to play with a pace and edge that Kunz lacks. I’d take him or strinden on the power play as the net front guy any day of the week over Kunz because they have the quickness the get a greasy one down low.

No, I think Ausmus, Spicer, Panzer, and Costello will be fine when they get here.

The difference is Hermantown puts out high end D1. There are a few D1 players from GF and Fargo that just haven't been blue blood caliber. Locals prop up their program more than ours.

Who are the kids that are high end D1?  Local kids from the Hermantown area or part of their recruiting class?

I don't follow MNHS close enough to confirm, but my understanding is the "recruits" are from Duluth, so really no different than what happens in the cities with parents getting an apartment or using a friend's address. Either way, they've wanted to go to UMD for the most part.

McLaughlin is one of the calm, mild-mannered players on this UND squad. When he was asked at a press conference this week about what UND needs to do to break out of its Friday night struggles, he was fired up enough to drop an expletive. If McLaughlin brings that same fire to the ice, he will get rewarded.

Duluth heads west on highway 2 for a matchup with UND.  Three weekends left in NCHC play and UND some how is in 4th place in the league by a point over Denver and 2 points over CC, who got the gift of Miami at home.  Denver heads to Oxford this weekend, I'll assume they end up with 6 points in that one.  Duluth is pretty locked into 7th place after they took four points from ASU at Amsoil after two OT games.

The Plante brothers are healthy, and the guy that was supposed to be the backup, Knapp, has put together some performances and has taken over the net.  Max Plante is 4th on their team in scoring, even after missing 13 games. 

For UND hopefully you get Sacha or Perron back, but if not the kids that played Saturday did fine in place of other guys that didn't suit up.  

Gotta sweep as Denver has their next four with #9 and #8 before we head to Lawson, where the Penrose could be in the building.  

I'll say a split.  We win Friday.  

 

This game could be a whole lot different then the earlier two games.  For the rest of the year all games have to be like the last Denver game.

UND is making some coin sitting unused prepaid playoff ticket dollars this sports calendar year.

Lineup looks funny…why is Boisvert on the 4th?

I am assuming it’s because he’s not completely healthy. He was questionable to play.

Brad going for the most different line combos in a season?

[Kevin G]

It’s good to see Tanner back on the d-core.

I’m just glad he’s in the lineup at all. Limit his minutes if he’s not 100% and then use him on the PP?

Must sweep series.  Hope the boys are ready for it.  

[cberkas]

Does Gajan play more than a period this game?

[bcblues]

Let's play hockey!

1-0

This is what I mean:  shoot and pick up the garbage for score.

GOOD START
