Well at least the women could brighten our day, because that was start to finish awful.
Hope the team got there yesterday ahead of all the snow. It's going to get hammered there through Saturday!
I thought for the most part we were toe to toe with ND most of the game and you have to give ND's defense credit that on our scoring chances close up in the crease they had their sticks where they needed to be disrupting our shots.Well that wasnt the result we needed to see. It wasnt a terrible game but to many mistakes with the puck. Give ND credit they force you to make mistakes and then dont return the favor with mistakes of their own. The winning goal came off of one of those mistakes a failed clear of the zone and i think its one that Romeo would probably like back. They need to win tomorrow to get this taste of losing out of the system.

Speaking of shots, just how many did we send over the net? Sure seemed like we blew a lot of scoring chances with bad shot placement.
But on out defense, just takes one mistake for a team to score on you. From the replay it looked like Weiss was not even trying to get to the weak side of the net in time or didn't see ND's guy coming in unopposed to get in position, either way no excuse and it cost us dearly.
We were very good on the penalty kill but being shorthanded as much as we were kills a LOT of clock that we could have been on some much needed offense when we were down a goal!
One of the first games this year where they just took stupid penalties. Yea that 3rd period was a penalty fest and just killed the clock which was ND's best friend.
Wonder what Dakota did to pi*s off coach and not dress the entire weekend?
It's been RUMORED that sometimes he gets a pis*y attitude and won't contribute in practice but do not take this as fact. Face it, they are still not fully men at that age and you as a coach have to deal with the little unpleasants that crop up from it now and then.
If we went winless the next two weekends Michigan could pass us by a point if they swept Notre Dame next weekend but 6 points is their limit as their last weekend is non-conference against Arizona State.Could be wrong, but looking at the standings this morning it appears that a single win against Minnesota next weekend would give the Bucks second place.
