Stripes needs to chill out a bit and let both sides play. The calls on Nodak were weak too. You’d think the marbles are in our pocket in the 3rd

Gotta finish the pk first. And I wouldn’t expect them to call anything. Was the same the last time we were up here with the penalties being very lopsided in unds favor

This absurd.  NoDak makes a check, no big deal.  Gopher is behind a guy and pushes him in the back, and it's a Cross-check

That PP play was a mess before we gave up that shorty.  Ugly.

We really need to turn it on now.

We have major liabilities on defense right now with McLaughlin, Gruba, and Rombach.

I disagree. I thought they showed good effort tonight. Tough when you're penalty killing for literally 25% of the game

Embarrassing effort down the stretch tonight. I liked the effort early, but the team just gave up after that shorthanded goal.

effort wasn’t the problem, but there were some guys who had noticeably bad nights and it ended up in the back of the net nearly every time. 
kudos to und they scored on their opps (pps aside) and did what old defensive teams (meaning their d core, not their entire team) do and don't make dumbass mistakes.

I’ve only gotten to watch a little bit of it. Mainly the first period. Tough goals to give up. How bad are the Gophs playing?

We just do not possess the puck enough. When we do get control, no one is skating open and we just give the puck away. We did have a lot of penalties, but it was because we were a step slow and out of position, reaching with the stick.

I’m all for trying to win, but down 2-4 with 30 seconds left on a PK is an odd time to keep the goaltender out.  

But for the most part, the PK looked great tonight.  So there’s that.

Not sure how effort is the takeaway from that game. It’s guy like Gruba fumbling the puck every time he gets it. Or Rombach struggling to skate. McLaughlin consistently out of position. Horrible execution.

That was rough. I was hopeful after the first period. The penalties stunk. Who knows, maybe that shifted the mindset to that of a penalty kill even during 5 on 5.

Put it behind you guys and come back tomorrow.

It was a good off-season for Whipple. He has came back a lot stronger and quicker. Decision making seems to be better also.

Sky is blue, Pope is Catholic, D core struggled breaking pucks out. And yeah hard not to argue stripes had an effect here. Can’t imagine we were 4 penalties dirtier than UND.

Do you think the team is going to half ass it in a Gopher/UND rivalry sell out game? It’s an easy excuse for when the reality is they have a weaker roster.

this. Though I can’t say I came away super impressed with UND either. Know the gophs will be at best a borderline tourney team. Stop playing like 9th graders playing varsity the first time and actually think and I feel like we have a reasonable chance tomorrow night

Consciously decide to half-ass it no, but we just saw them play with more jump a week ago. I’ve never said this roster is as strong as other recent ones, but I think they’re better than what we saw down the stretch of this one.

Honestly, it's a big reason why our PK is floating around 80%. HUGE.

Pretty incredible that 2 years ago, with Koster hurt and Fish, Begley, and Rud all in the lineup, we still held a top-10 UND team to just 2 goals in 2 games at the Ralph. I remember hearing that Chesley had 28min TOI in one of the games, that’s what Bob needs to do with L.Mitts and Thomas.
