Compare and Contrast, Bryn Chyzyk and Adam Tambellini
I put this on my facebook page, but it applies.
Compare and contrast, a kid that was already on a team left at the first hint of adversity. Another kid, had that chance taken away from him and upon returning, talked about missing his teammates and thanked the coaching staff for getting another chance to be a member of that team.
Think about it. Both kids had the same number of points. Tonight, that kid made an immediate impact upon returning to the lineup. Nothing in life is given to you. Everyday is a battle and you have to work for every inch that you take.
In the old days if you were unhappy with the amount of playing time that you received you worked harder. You didn't quit on your teammates you didn't go find another team. You worked your ass off and strived to get better.
I couldn't be more happy for Bryn Chyzyk... He could have quit, but he kept at it. Go get em kid.

UND Hockey: If the season ended today, and it doesn't end today... But....
As I have said before, there's a lot of college hockey season left and when some were panicking, I wasn't. If season ended today and it doesn't, UND would make the NCAA tourney. With the five-game win streak, the 4-2-2 non-conference things look "okay" for UND. Now, I am not going to make any bracketology blog posts or anything like that, but I am just putting things into perspective.

North Dakota beats Northern Michigan 4-1
Grand Forks, ND – Historically, the University of North Dakota hockey team is known for being a second half team. After losing three games in a row, to start the month of November, the UND hockey team has gotten back on track and has gone 5-3-1, since the 3-game losing streak.
With the win tonight, UND has gone 6-3-1 in the last 10 games.
UND would get on the board first at the 04:10 mark of the first period with a goal from forward Mark McMillian. Picking up assists on UND’s first goal were defensemen Troy Stecher and Nick Mattson.
UND would outshoot Northern Michigan 10-5 in the opening period.
North Dakota would break open the game with two power play goals in the second period. UND forward Luke Johnson would score a power play goal at the 09:57 mark of the second period, giving UND a 2-0 lead. Drawing assists on Johnson’s power play goal, forward Rocco Grimaldi and defenseman Jordan Schmaltz.
“I just tried to get it on net,” Luke Johnson said. “I was just lucky that it went in”
UND would strike again, to stretch the lead to 3-0 at the 16:23 mark of the second period. This time, it was a power play goal from the caption Dillon Simpson. Picking up assists were Rocco Grimaldi and Jordan Schmaltz, again.
Northern Michigan would outshoot UND 11-8 in the second period and trailed 3-0.
“I thought we had a good start,” freshman defenseman Paul LaDue said. “Second period got a little shaky at times. We buried our chances and we have to come out tomorrow with that same mentality.”
Northern Michigan would break the Zane Gothberg’s shutout bid at the 07:40 mark of the third period with a wraparound goal from Daren Nowick.
Northern Michigan appeared to have scored their second goal, on the power play, but the on-ice officials ruled that a Northern Michigan player visually impaired the goaltenders view in the crease. In essence, college hockey has the “Avery Rule” as well.
According to head coach Dave Hakstol, “(Player’s) foot was in the crease, taking away his vision. If he had been on the side of the crease and not in the goaltenders vision it would have been a good goal.”
UND would push the lead to 4-1 with a goal from by Paul LaDue. Assisting on the goal was forward Connor Gaarder. With the win, UND pushed its current winning streak to four games.
“I thought we got off to a good start,” head coach Dave Hakstol said. “We had a good first period. We had our ups and downs. I thought we played a pretty good hockey game.”
UND will go for the series sweep against Northern Michigan at 7:07 p.m. Central at Ralph Engelstad Arena.
Stats of interest
With the win tonight, UND has a 7-0-1 record when leading after two period.
Tonight, UND went 2-for-4 on the power play. UND is ranked 21st nationally 17/81 (21.1)
Tonight, UND went 3-for-3 on the penalty kill. UND is ranked 18th nationally 74/88 (84.1).
Over the last four games, Zane Gothberg is 4-0-0, 1.75 GAA and has a .939 save percentage.
Over the last three games freshman forward Luke Johnson has scored (3g-2a—5pts).
With the win tonight, UND’s Non-conference record is now 3-2-2

(Video) North Dakota goals versus Western Michigan; Hakstol interviewed on the bench
CBSSN in-game analyst Shireen Saski interviews UND head coach Dave
Hakstol on the player’s bench. I never thought we would see that. I am also not
a big fan of that, at all. It's like coming to someone office and
interviewing them. It was also kind of funny, Saski couldn't say Hak's name without stumbling.
UND freshman forward Luke Johnson had a breakout game for UND (2g-0a—2pts). The UND defense continues to rack up the points as well. Sophomore defenseman Jordan Schmaltz had another strong game for UND on the backend as he had (0g-2a—2pts).

North Dakota Slips Past St. Lawrence
Grand Forks, ND – The University of North Dakota hockey team came into tonight’s game mired in a horrible slump, going 2-7-1 in their last 10 games.
After last night’s 5-2 loss to the St. Lawrence Saints, the UND hockey team had a closed door meeting to air their differences.
Tonight, alternate captain Stephane Pattyn gave us a glimpse of what was said.
“Yeah, yesterday was kind of just an open floor,” Pattyn said. “Everyone talked and gave their thoughts about what we needed to do. We had some great conversations. We definitely grew up as a team last night and I think today’s (win) helped too.”
It appeared that the closed door meeting worked. Through two periods of play, the UND hockey team played on their toes and took the play to the St. Lawrence Saints.
UND got goals from forwards Rocco Grimaldi, Connor Gaarder and Stephane Pattyn, and would take a 3-1 lead going into the third period.
St. Lawrence pushed hard in the third period, and cut the lead to 3-2 with a goal by the national scoring leader, Greg Carey. UND was able to hold off a late surge by the Saints to get the 3-2 win.
After the game, head coach Dave Hakstol didn’t seem to relish the win all that much.
“Real hard fought game,” head coach Dave Hakstol said. “We competed hard for 60-minutes. They pushed real hard in the last portion of the third period. We wanted to come back and do a little better tonight. I thought we did a little better.”
So far this season, UND has dug themselves into a hole with undisciplined play.
“We needed to come out like that,” Pattyn said. “We need to prove ourselves. A game like today was going to move us a step forward. We’ve dug ourselves in a hole so far this season and today’s one small step out of that hole.”
Pattyn continued, “That last 24-hours weren’t that much fun. Not much excitement going on in our dressing room. But we got focused and we knew we had to come out and do a job. We put a lot of pressure on ourselves today, to come out, to come out hard. Our steps are moving forward right now.”
Coming into tonight’s game, UND was 0-4-2 on Saturday nights. With the win tonight, UND improved that record to 1-4-2.
UND goalie Zane Gothberg stopped 25-of-27 shots and improved his record to 3-5-2 with the win. The sophomore goalie made many big saves late in the game to preserve the win.
Notes of interest
With the win tonight, UND is 3-6-1 in the last 10 games. With the win, UND improves to 5-7-2.
UND is 2-2-2 in non-conference play.
St Lawrence forward Greg Carey had an impressive weekend, scoring (2g-4a—6pts) on the weekend. Carey is the NCAA points leader with (11g-18a—29pts).
This was UND’s second win of the season when they score three or fewer goals.
UND has gone 1-0-1 the last two Saturday night’s.
Next weekend, UND travels to Kalamazoo to take on the Western Michigan Broncos December 6-7, 2013, game time is 6:07 central.

UND Injury Update
This weekend, when the University of North Dakota (4-6-2,
3-5-0 NCHC) plays St. Lawrence University
(7-5-2, 2-2-2 ECAC), in a two-game non-conference match-up, they will be
without the services of some key forwards, and could be playing defensemen in their place again this weekend. The move actually seemed to work last weekend against the BU Terriers.
First, there is some good
news. “(Brendan) O’Donnell should be available, he’s practiced all week,” Hakstol said.
Dave Hakstol says injured forwards Mark MacMillan, Colten St. Clair and Derek Rodwell remain unavailable this weekend.

UND ties Boston University 3-3
 |
| Seal of the University of North Dakota (Photo credit: Wikipedia) |
Last night, the University of North Dakota put a season
high 58 shots on the Boston University net, but still had to settle for a 3-3
tie. Standing in the way of a UND victory, was Terrier goalie Matt O’Connor. The sophomore goalie was nothing short of
amazing, as he stopped a career-high 55 shots. Many of his saves were of the
spectacular variety. Yes, I am cuing the hot goalie storyline.
I didn't know that was a crime?
I didn't know that was a crime?
If it wasn’t for O’Connor, the game “probably” would’ve been
very one sided, as UND attacked the BU net in waves. It was one of UND’s best
efforts of the season, as they held a 58-31 shot advantage over the Terriers.
“He’s a good goalie,” UND junior forward Stephane Pattyn said.
According to the UND SID Jayson Hadju, that’s the most
shots that UND has put on net in a game since December 30, 2000, when UND put
65 shots on the goal, to beat Princeton 4-1.
Did I mention the play of the BU goalie? So did UND’s
head coach Dave Hakstol.
“That’s the game of hockey,” Hakstol said. “Their guy (Matt
O’Connor) played well in net.”
“We played a better game tonight than we did last night,”
Hakstol said. “As usual when you come out on an eastern swing you usually run
into different challenges. Obviously, we ran into some challenges this weekend,
but we probably got better as a hockey team.”
While some will look at this weekend as a lost weekend, I
think you can look this weekend as a building block, moving forward. UND came
out last night and was on their toes for most of the game. Rocco Grimaldi was
the best player on the ice for UND. Second best player for UND was junior
forward Brendan O’Donnell, who looked really good in his return to the lineup,
after missing five games due to injury.
I think he was the difference in the game for UND. I
would imagine that UND should get Mark MacMillan back soon. Moving forward, I
wonder, if we will see the all junior line of Mark MacMillan, Michael Parks
and O’D? That line seemed to have some chemistry together before the run of bad luck and injuries took hold for UND.
Stats, stats, stats
On Saturday night, UND was
one-for-seven on the power-play, and had 19 of its 31 shots on the power-play. UND
was one-for-nine (.10%) on the power-play for the weekend.
After writing an article about UND forward Rocco Grimaldi and Drake Caggiula, Grimaldi had a six game point streak snapped
last night and Caggiula was kept off of the score sheet all weekend long.
After last night’s game,
Zane Gothberg’s season numbers 2-5-2, 2.84 GAA, .906 save percentage.
After this Friday’s game,
Clarke Saunder’s season numbers 2-1-0, 3.50 GAA, save percentage .910.
This season, UND is 1-1-2 against Hockey
East this season.
Looking ahead to next weekend
With the tie the University of North Dakota is (4-6-2,
3-5-0 NCHC) and entertains ECAC opponent St Lawrence (7-5-2, 2-2-2 ECAC) at the
Ralph Engelstad Arena, in an important two game nonconference series.
