UMD @ UND - NCHC Opener

[brianvf]

This will be a tough series. 
UMD comes in at 7-1, fresh off a sweep of UMN.
They've been scoring goals in bunches, especially the Plante line.  They managed to score 12 goals against BSU in their series earlier this season...pretty impressive against that group of trappers.
They thrive on the PP, so UND will need to be disciplined and keep the defensive lapses to a minimum.

Hoping we see Spunar get another chance after his performance against Clarkson.
Last line change will be big to try to matchup against Plante line.  We should have better depth.

Maybe Menghini can get his first goal in a UND sweater against his old club.

Go UND!

Passing was really off this weekend. Need to work on pucks on sticks in shooting and tip-in positions this week. So many missed opportunities this weekend. Gonna need those to click against Duluth.

It's still Minnesota at #1 for the majority of the fan base.  The bitterness seen is similar to how Vikings fans (which most UND fans are) have Packer Derangement Syndrome...though in this case it's Gopher Derangement Syndrome.

Be there Saturday. Hoping for a better result than their last home Saturday game

UMD hasn't been much of a rival lately although it looks like they are much improved this year.

Don't play them often but BC would be 3 for me and Michigan 4.

Considering Duluth has more than one fan, I find it to be a more entertaining rivalry than Denver. Denver rivalry changed once Gwozdecky left. That guy was awesome.
