Are you reading Sioux Sports again? What did I tell you about that?

Haven't read it yet. That's for tomorrow morning. And Twocox looked a little hectic at times when the puck was behind the net in the first two periods. However, he looked strong when it was on the line....

We are witnessing history. UND is the worst team to ever play hockey in any season, as of tonight! I say, fold 'er up! Just shut down the program! They are horrible and don't deserve a program!

Wilcox is not impervious to having an off-night. He has had a couple so far, one of which we won anyway. He was definitely in the zone tonight.

But don't forget that has nothing to do with the Whioux losing tonight. Any mite goalie could have been in net and it wouldn't have mattered.

Meanwhile Tech is legit.

Yeah, he was the best player on the ice tonight. He looked really sharp, and came up big the few times he was truly tested. The only goal was a weird deflection of his own player...not his fault. He played well enough to earn a shutout.

Probably not the best strategy. If we can get our passing game going, we'll have a better chance at putting Wilcox in more difficult positions. I haven't watched enough of him to really know what the best strategy is...maybe it is just throw everything possible on net and hope for the best.

I've watched him quite a bit and he doesn't seem to have a glaring weakness. Getting any goaltender to move laterally a lot is always a good plan. When the defense doesn't let that happen much, I am a fan of chuck it towards the net and have a guy or two charge into the crease for any garbage.

If it makes you feel better to think that North Dakota played worse than they did, by all means, keep thinking that. It most certainly does. Claiming otherwise is evidence of never playing sport at a high level and a general lack of understanding of what goes on at game speed.

Bravo! At last, someone who has actually played a sport at a high level with some common sense wisdom.

You're a clever one. Obviously, it makes me feel worse that they played their worst game of the year. If they had to lose, I would much rather they lose while playing well.

And no, I never played Division 1, college hockey. If you did, please enlighten me on how failing to complete a pass in your own zone when the other team is not in the zone shows that the pass failed because of something Minnesota did. Thanks.

IMO, it was our worst performance of the year.

Going tape to tape should have nothing to do with the opponent if the lane is there.

It most certainly does. Claiming otherwise is evidence of never playing sport at a high level and a general lack of understanding of what goes on at game speed.

UND came out with a game plan that simply didn't work. At the opening faceoff they turtled and played an extremely defensive style. Obviously, they were looking to keep the MN offense at bay, stay out of the penalty box and wait for opportunities rather than dictate them. It didn't work. Maybe the coaching staff thinks that will work tomorrow if they only execute a bit better, but my guess is that they will try to open it up a bit more and take a few more chances; in how they forecheck, how they rush the puck and in physical play.

I fully expect North Dakota to just throw the puck towards the net as often as possible tomorrow. Make Wilcox face 40-50 shots and who knows?

Theoretically, there's no such thing as unpressured passes, especially in a game like this. Have you ever played hockey?

Yes, there is. And yes, I played hockey for quite a while.
