UND @ Duluth

[SiouxFan100]

I see us sweeping Duluth!

Beat the Plante line, beat the Bulldogs!  Also, keep them off the PP as much as possible.

Quote

"With any good players, it's important to try to take away time and space, especially on the rush," Jackson said. "They hurt us on the Friday night in Grand Forks, because they were entering and making lateral plays, delaying, using their vision and skill to make plays on the rush. On Saturday, we did a better job of really tracking hard and trying to defend the line well, to not give them time and space to make those entry plays."

UND also will try to limit Bulldog power plays this weekend.

Minnesota Duluth is converting 32.3% of its advantages, ranking No. 1 in the nation. The top power-play unit of the Plante brothers, Shaugabay, Callum Arnott and Ty Hanson has scored 24 goals on the advantage — more than 50 teams in the country.

UND's penalty kill, after a brilliant two-month stretch (killing 32 of 34 opponent power plays), has allowed five goals in the last 11 opponent power plays.

I don’t like Duluth coming into the weekend winless in 4 games. Are they going to go winless in 6 straight conference games? It’s happened a few times to UND already this year (Denver and CC come to mind). Hoping for a UND sweep but worried the dogs will find a way to steal a point or two. 
 

The other thought I have…is riding the Plante line so hard finally catching up to UMD? Teams have a ton of film on them now and know they just have to shut them down to be successful.

I don’t think UMD needs to steal to get a point or two.  Wouldn’t be surprised to see them get 3.

I know sweeps are tough to come by in this league, but I think it is alright to start believing in this team again. This isn't last year's team.

UMD's Powerplay and PK is very very good.  Play this series 5 on 5 and it's a sweep.  Get caught up in the BS between whistles and it's a split.

This 100%.

UMD PP is 1st in the nation, their PK is 4th.
Stay out of the box and I like our chances.  Easier said than done.

That was a good read, thank you.

Found it interesting under: ‘Game News and Notes’ that both head coaches for this weekend are UND alumni. Berry ‘83-‘86, and Sandelin ‘82-‘86. 
 

You do a great job Dave, blessings.

My call, UND wins 5-3. I think that third line can FEAST against t-Dogs. Kernan, Croal, Zellers, Liver, Geno.

If Denver can shut down UMD's only line, we can too.

Anyone boots in the ground in Duluth? Curious what the crowd split is.

Let's play hockey!

Absolutely wild that Verhoeff is listed as being thirty pounds heavier than Emery. Both should have great NHL careers, but Verhoeff seemingly has endless potential. Hopefully they both give us another year. 
 

Sioux sweep.

Weak call

PK, ruh row

[bcblues]

Good kill

They just played The Ketchup Song between the whistles. Well done Duluth

Breakouts are poor, and too many turnovers. Need to settle down, and forecheck.

[SiouxFanatic]

Not a good start on trying to limit penalties…
