Beavers vs Hawks - Home and Home on Thanksgiving weekend

[brianvf]

Time for the series that I least look forward to each season.  Although this year maybe it won't be as much of a trap-fest, since BSU seems to have really upped their scoring.

BSU is off to their best start since probably the 19/20 season, and they are now 9-5-2.
They haven't exactly had a tough SOS, but they've beaten the teams they're supposed to beat.  Their only losses are getting swept by SCSU/UMD and then an OT loss to Tech.

Their SR forward Flammang leads them in points and already is having his best year statistically for them after only 14 games.  Their old USports transfer, Peer (already listed as a JR in his first NCAA season), leads them in goals with 10 and is heating up lately with 3-2-5 in their weekend sweep of NMU.

I would love to see a UND sweep here with limited OOC NPI opportunities remaining, but something tells me it won't be that easy.  UND hasn't swept BSU in two regulation games since the 2016/2017 season.  Ouch.
They always seem to play their best games against UND.

Hopefully UND is a bit healthier after their exhibition weekend.

Go UND!

If this team wants to show it is a top 10 team and will not have the fan base sweating the bubble this year they will need to sweep this series.  I fear that anything else will make March a nerve racking month.
