NCHC Semifinal #2: North Dakota vs. Miami

Re: NCHC Semifinal #2: North Dakota vs. Miami

How high were your expectations for the team this year? Mine weren't too high. Perhaps they even overachieved a bit.

My expectations were:
1) Finish top half in conference
2) Make NCHC Tournament
3) Make NCAA Tournament
4) Win 20+ games

They have accomplished 1, 2, and 4. Usually that is enough to also accomplish #3. This year...we'll see.

Yeah, we just really struggle offensively. We don't have the top end scorers that can essentially score on their own. That's why we need to get a lead. We're a very good front runner because we can play great defense and force the other team to press, and we have enough talent to make teams pay for their mistakes. If we get behind, we just don't have that one guy we can go to for offense.

Good assessment. That is why fans dissing UW on siouxsports are missing a point, IMO. Sioux don't have a Kerdiles or even a Zengerle. There is so much focus on D come tournament time that you need a guy or guys who can make the difference with their ability to score.

Kuraly gets hit and penalties coming - good hit but they call hit on a defenceless player

Looks like Sioux will have a PP - hum?

3-0
