It was nice of the refs to keep trying to fix their no goal call by continually giving UND pp's until they scored off of one. They almost ran out of time.
I do think UND missed on a lot of high shots that made Berry's night a little less stressful until the end. He played very well, the 3rd goal was just a smart play by them from a non-scary spot on the ice, maybe Berry should have popped up and got to the post, but it happened so fast. So whose in goal tonight? If they go Berry, it's Berry all the way. The break may change that, but we'll see. My gut says Hayton.
I was feeling it up 2-0. They had played almost flawlessly in the D zone until the first goal. Everyone watching the puck and they leave the guy all alone in a bad spot to do that. I was still feeling it up the one goal. That just sucked.
Random thoughts: Weissbach seems to be finding his groove. I like the 4 forward pp with Kalynuk. They are trying to get the most talented guys on the ice together. I guess that also says UW is lacking offensive defensemen this year. How will that ever change? Johnson seems a little lost out there right now, he doesn't seem to be involved in creating chances like he was earlier in the season, Wags is kinda in that same spot as well as the lines have been changing a lot. I do miss the periods when the same guys usually played together all the time, my old brain can't keep up with the changes. (MJ has been running the same 9 players on the top 3 lines for months and the D pairs haven't changed all year LOL.) How does Freytag manage to get every shot on net from any spot on the ice? It seems like he never misses. I still hate Jeff Jackson from 1992, I hate all teams called UND and those gold helmet are annoying.
). That was the book on him pre-season and it has continued all year. He still hasn't stolen one for us; the line is tired during the PP, they need a change, you've got to steal one in the net. He didn't.
