Obviously, the UND hockey team is known for its second
half surges. This season’s second half surge was the fifth best of Dave Hakstol’s
coaching tenure at UND. Looking at the schedule and the results, I think it’s
safe to say that on November 30, 2013, this season’s second half surge
commenced.
While many of us are disappointed that UND didn’t win
last night. There are many things to be excited about as well. This loss didn’t
sit well with the players either.
I don’t know if anyone thought this team would own an
20-11-3 record after starting the
season 4-7-2. I think this team might have actually exceeded expectations.
Since November 30, 2013, UND is averaging 3.25 goals per
game and giving up 2.06 goals against per game.
After the rough start, I didn’t think that they would end
up in second place of the NCHC standings. Nonetheless, the loss last night is
kind of disappointing. The focus of the team now turns to getting a green
banner.
I think it’s safe to say that this team transformed from
a hockey team finding its way, to a team that’s a threat to win a league
playoff title and an NCAA title. What happens to them, will determined in the
next few weeks.
During that time, sophomore goalie Zane Gothberg is
13-2-1 with a .935 save percentage and a 1.63 goals against average. It’s hard
to believe that Gothberg started the season off with a 2-5-2 record.
Speaking of Gotberg, he won the NCHC GAA title (2.26). He beat out he beat out Ryan Massa (2.27). He
was also tied for second with Lukas Hafner from Western Michigan in save
percentage (.924).
Breaking
down the numbers: After Saturday night’s game, UND is now
1-9-2 (.167) in games when they score two or fewer goals.
UND is 11-0-0 when they score four or more goals.
UND is 8-10-3 when they scored three or more goals.
UND is 6-7-1 when the opponent scores first. When UND leads after the first period, they have a 11-1-1 record.
When UND leads after the second period, they have a
15-1-0 record.
When UND is behind after two periods, they have 1-8-0
record
When the opposition leads after the first period,
UND has a 6-7-1 record.
UND is 6-6-0 against Nationally Ranked Opponents.
I don’t know what to make of this stat… UND is 6-0-0 on
CBSSN.
