UND @ Clarkson-Potsdam awaits.

[Wilbur]

UND heads to upstate, and I mean upstate New York to take on Clarkson.  The Golden Knights are 1-3 and have managed to lose to Canisius (who loses to them?), RIT, and Penn State. Their one win was against the the then #1 team in the country in Happy Valley of all places.  Their goalies don't have great stats, and nobody jumps off the stat page IMHO.   

Good time for a road trip for the group.  Get on a plane and spend some quality time together.  Or spend 30 hours on a bus and make it a real road trip.  Potsdam looks like an Oxford type location.  Small city that houses a private university with some charm.  

Google tells me we have played Clarkson one time, and that game wasn't even in the United States.  Back in 2012 it was a 3-1 win in Winnipeg.  Sexsmith legend Carter Rowney with a pair of goals in that one.  

Anyone making the trip?

UND sweeps.  5-1, and 4-3.

I always worry about officiating whenever UND plays out east. That could potentially be a factor…home cookin’ if you know what I mean.

With Clarkson's horrible start, these are a couple of must win games for UND.
Need to go out there and take care of business, plain and simple.

-Need to get the PP back on track. 
-Would like to see a couple of the guys get on the scoresheet and pick up their confidence...guys like Josephson, Menghini, Kernan, etc.
-Rebound games for Liver and Homer...both struggled a little on Sat.  Any chance we see Spunar in one of these games?

Beat the teams you're supposed to beat.  
Go Sioux!

Strinden needs to chill out a bit if that's the case. 
Or get sat a game for Klee if needed?

This is of utter importance. This team can be absolutely lethal if they figure out the PP

One part of that is winning face offs while on PP.  They seemed to loose a lot of PP draws against the gophs, resulting in 200’ clears and a big loss of time.
