Re: UND 2009-2010 Season Thread - The Lawnmower and Cookie tossing edition!
Speaking of freshman, how good is Kristo going to be when its all said and done? I know he hasn't scored yet but he might be the most dynmaic player on the team...except Genoway.
OK, tonite's game was not what I expected to see. We have 3 seniors and a couple hundred freshman, and played like a team that is going to .....win.... the....
Can hardly believe they got the shutout with a bunch of freshmen.
If this is a typical slow start for the Sioux I can't wait until 2nd half of the season.

Last years team had senior leadership but this team does too. VV is playing like a man on a mission. He should have had a hatty tonight. We have size, speed and goaltending. The trifecta.
Imagine if Frattin was in the lineup. Who would sit out?

It's always tough to seal the deal and win the Saturday night game. If UND plays like they did for the Friday game I like the chances of walking away with 4 points.
I agree...however, they look really good so far, and hopefully they can continue to grow as a team and improve their play.
They definitely look like a top 4 team. Now, it will be up to the upperclassmen to settle down all the freshman after a game like that, and get them focused for tonight.
That being said, the Gophers did not play well at all. I would go so far as to say it may have been the worst performance I have seen from them in a long time. As I said in the score update thread last night, I would love it if the Sioux were THAT good, but I think a lot of the performance last night stems from the Gophers playing horrific.
If that same Gopher team comes tonight, it's going to be another humilliating game for them...so I'm hoping for a repeat .

Good point. There's this Sioux fan among those who live out on Thunder Island with me, and he told me he wishes the Gophers had actually played well last night since it's impossible to learn anything about the team when they play a team that played with the energy of senior citizens and the talent of four year olds.

I personally am liking what I'm seeing thus far...the boys still need to get on the same page, but overall, this team is playing very well. It's not as flashy as in years past, but I think that's what they will need to win.
Re: UND 2009-2010 Season Thread - The Lawnmower and Cookie tossing edition!
I'll take 3 points against the Gophers anyday. Nice series, UND played better than what I was expecting.
Once again, the freshmen played very well for the most part.
Kristo is getting points, just needs to net his first goal.
Just have to take care of business up in Alaska next weekend. No letdowns!
