UMD @ UND

[Esoteric]

Very nice 3rd period plus they closed out the game.  Congratulations to the team.  Now is the time to peak.  No more losses this year.

Finally, Brad, you get it.

Alright team - Alex is in the house, give him  “””a circle of sticks tomorrow night””” 🤭.

Did split with Denver, and outplayed Arizona State last weekend, and really for much of their games with them.

They regressed to their mean. Meanwhile we are setting a new normal.

[brianvf]

UMD has some really talented underclassmen, especially their current FR group.
If they can keep that core group together, they'll be improved in the next couple seasons.

Alex saying there's so much on the line for this game. Probably the least consequential series between these teams in the last decade.

Alex is a good announcer but he won’t offer any criticism like Brandt would.  He was gushing over Jamernik as a leader. He hasn’t come close to reaching the level he was at 2 years ago.

Heard the reason Berry hasn’t had any recruits lately, is because he needs the room to get all three Plante brothers to transfer or flip.😉

Ha!  I'd take that.  Max looked legit tonight.  I'd take him in the green-n-white for sure.

Do you think people would be mad at UND using the portal in that circumstance?

I certainly wouldn't be mad.

Quote

UND beat Minnesota Duluth for the seventh time in a row and for the 11th time in the last 12 meetings.

Emery still might not play tomorrow:

Quote

Defenseman E.J. Emery served a one-game suspension for a melee last weekend against Denver. Emery is eligible to return for the series finale but is questionable with an undisclosed injury.

Can Littler make it 4-for-4 tomorrow night?

Quote

Later in the period, Littler poked a puck around Minnesota Duluth defenseman Aaron Pionk and snapped a shot inside the post for his fourth goal of the season. Littler has scored in all three games against the Bulldogs.

Not to rip on him but Kunz just likes he is going through the motions out there.  Use your big body and at least through a hit sheesh.

This needs to be said.....the NODAK jerseys need to be the new everygame jerseys. White, green, black. BB knew what he was doing getting that thing started with the side hustle. They are gems.

  What do you say when you rip on him?   (Cue Clark Griswold ripping his boss).    

[Oxbow6]

Of the four lines last night the all letter Sr line was easily the least effective. Their minutes tonight should be minimal at best 5x5 if no lineup changes are made.

[AJS]

Keep same lines together, but put 29-8-27 as the 4th line on the line chart tonight. Come on Berry, show how you play matters, even with your super special Seniors. 
 

3rd / 4th lines were by far the two best lines last night. Really want things to click for McLaughlin on the 1st line, but they aren’t. Croal should play every game. Who shouldn’t when Perron is healthy? Clearly 29.
