What part of unpressured passes are you not comprehending?

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

They didn't play as bad as you make it seem.

It was North Dakota's worst performance of the season.

Tomorrow should be fun on Hockey Day MN.

Indeed. Really looking forward to a jam packed day of great hockey!

Do you really think that North Dakota played well?

They didn't play as bad as you make it seem. The first half of the game was pretty evenly played. And the difference the second half had as much or more to do with the Gophers playing their game as UND not playing well.

UND had plenty of opportunities to stay in this game, but Wilcox was on top of his game, as he has been much of this season. This game was much tighter than the score would suggest, and I expect nothing different tomorrow.

Should be another hard fought battle between two pretty evenly matched teams. I just think Minnesota has a slight edge defensively, and much of that has to do with goaltending.

Minnesota was the better team tonight. Neither team brought their A game.

One of the most poorly played games in this series all around, and there aren't many of those.

Agreed. Minnesota was less than stellar. I thought they played about average. I just thought that North Dakota played awful.

Well color me confused. So if you were playing Mites, you still wouldn't complete passes in open lanes? Pressure from the Gophers (a lot more pressure than a 5-year-old could apply) did NOTHING to cause passes to miss?

The better team won tonight... if UND doesn't get some major things squared away, it's going to be much worse tomorrow. Congrats to gopher fans on the win.

For example, North Dakota was failing on passes in our own zone when there were no Minnesota players in the zone. If you want to claim that Minnesota was causing pressure to disrupt those passes, I would claim that you need to get your vision checked.

Sorry, but still sounds like sour grapes to me. Minnesota was the better team tonight, and is the better team in general IMO. Though it isn't by much.

i haven't made any claims in this thread, sport.

you keep making all these crazy claims but never have any evidence to back them up.

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

I don't. They came out strong, but were also cautious during the "get a feel for your opponent" stage. Things went stagnant for them after the PP goal. But after the Gophers went up 3-1, they turned it on again. Bad luck led to the shorty by Condon and the wheels fell off.

The first 20 was less than stellar, but Minnesota wasn't very good either...it was a pretty even period. The 2nd period is where North Dakota just couldn't get things going. I was hopeful that the PP goal would get the guys going and start playing with some emotion, but it just never happened. They played well for about a 5-6 minute stretch in the 3rd, but Wilcox came up with some nice saves to keep the Gophers ahead. The Shorty was a combination of bad luck and just a great play by Condon.

Initially, I felt Saunders was awful, but in reflecting on the game, I don't think he played all that poorly. The first goal was a very good shot by Budish. The 2nd goal was a softie for Saunders, but he certainly didn't get bailed out by his teammates the way he should...that was the back breaker (as I said in the Score Updates thread at the time). The 3rd goal was a weird deflection, and again, the Condon shorty was just a great shot...although Saunders may have been a tish out of position. Obviously, Saunders wasn't in net for the 5th goal...a weird decision by Hakstol...something he almost never does, but perhaps he was trying to send a message to his team.

Harley appears to be going with the JDubbs defense of not proving any evidence to back up his claim.

He's also a big crabby-pants.
