Mid season NCHC All Frosh team would be primarily UND players. Zellers, Reschny, Verhoeff, and Spoons…who else?

A couple others got game, can’t wait to see their 2nd half!

Denver’s Miller might be slightly ahead of Spoon

Not sure how when Spoon is undefeated, has a better GAA and SV %

I thought Laurilla was really good this weekend, and will only get more time as the year goes on.  Saturday could've been sketchy defensively with two regulars out and Zmolek not 100%.  It was at times, but the every eligible d man unit got the job done.

Before last night's game Miller had a better SV% with 3 shoutouts and GAA was almost the same with Spoon being slightly better.

Which one faced better opposition?

I'd say St. Cloud is better than Omaha

Pretty sure he means over the year. UND SOS is 12th and Denver is 15th.  Not sure which of those games each played though. 

Spoon gets the nod until he actually, ya know, loses a game.

A couple midseason thoughts.  First, I just adore the north-south, push the pace approach.  So many times, the normal thing would be to go D-to-D, but nope, we're skying it up the rink.  It results in some extra icing calls, but that's a small price to pay for the extra pressure it applies.

Second, what forward do you take out when Reschny and Zakreski return?  Everyone seems practically indispensable.  Unfortunately injuries will probably make that decision for us, but wow, the forward group on this team.

Tbh they’re going D to D plenty but it’s usually necessary. Icing the puck for a Hail Mary pass puts us in bad position too. The thing that stands out every game I watch this team is poise. The breakout passes and touches are so satisfying to watch this year compared to last years panic chip off the boards or turn over to the other team. They are so confident they’ll even pass to a teammate in front of our own net when they’re pinned in our zone and I have yet to see it blow up in our face yet.

Equally noticeable is their pinching and pushing the forecheck.   They concede very little and yet they seem to maintain coverage behind.
