Post game press scrum photo - classic...
St. Lawrence Pastes North Dakota
Grand Forks, ND – The mood was very somber after last night’s non-conference game between the University of North Dakota and St. Lawrence. The players held a closed door meeting after the game. UND caption Dillon Simpson wouldn’t say what they talked about during the meeting.
“We’ll keep that in the room,” Simpson said. “But guys are upset in there.”
UND head coach Dave Hakstol was not very happy with the over-all performance of his hockey team.
But why would he?
UND had just suffered a lackluster 5-2 loss in the first game of the Subway Holiday Classic.
“Not a very good performance by our team,” head coach Dave Haskstol.
The head coach continued. “Not a very good performance over-all by our team,”Hakstol said. “We didn’t do very much in the first two periods. We tried to mount a little push in the third period, but it wasn’t enough.”
All around, it was a rough night for the UND hockey team, as they found themselves flatfooted, and on their heels most of the night. Credit the St. Lawrence Saints; they were the better team all night long. The Saints went 3-for-6 (.500) on the power play. The Saints also outshot UND 25-23.
Special teams were a difference in last night’s game. UND went 1-for9 on the power play, and again took undisciplined penalties at key times in the game.
“It’s frustrating,” Simpson said. “Something we’re going to study a lot (game film) tomorrow morning I am sure. We got to have a good night if we want to win games, our power play has to be good, and our “PK” has to be even better.”
One of the turning points in the game was in the third period. UND had a five-on-three power play for 44 second, but Saints were able to kill it off. If the head coach didn’t have his team’s attention before last night’s game, he probably does now. It was obvious that the loss didn’t sit well with the players.
“Disappointing, didn’t come out the way we wanted to,” Simpson said. “We didn’t play the first forty the way we wanted to. Got to have a better effort tomorrow night.”
The UND head coach was asked if there would be changes to the lineup for tonight’s game.
“You’ll see some changes, Hakstol said. We’ll likely make a change or two.”
UND has gone 2-7-1 in its last 10 games and is winless in four games. According to UND SID Jayson Hajdu, this is UND’s worst 10-game stretch under head coach Dave Hakstol. This is also the worst stretch for UND, since the second half of the 2002-03 season, when UND went 1-7-2.
With four points in last night’s game, forward Greg Carey of St. Lawrence , is now the leading the nation (10g-18a—28pts) in scoring.
UND is (1-2-2) in non-conference play this season. UND is (1-1-1) against the ECAC.
In the last six games, UND’s penalty kill is 25-for-36 (69.4).
UND has another chance to right the ship tonight at 7:05 p.m. central at Ralph Engelstad Arena

Notes of interest
Coming into the game, UND had gone an impressive 6-0-2 record in the last eight games of the Subway Holiday Classic.With four points in last night’s game, forward Greg Carey of St. Lawrence , is now the leading the nation (10g-18a—28pts) in scoring.

UND vs. SLU: Sifting through the numbers
Looking at the series ahead, UND’s (4-6-2, 3-5-0 NCHC) next
opponent St. Lawrence (7-5-2, 2-2-2 ECAC) comes into this weekend’s two-game non-conference
series, having lost three out of the last four games. During the month of
November, the Saints have a 3-3-2 record.
UND’s month of November, the Green and White has had its problems as well. UND owns a 2-5-1 record and have gone 2-2-1 in their last five games. UND is 2-3-1 at home and 2-3-1 on the road this season. Lastly, UND has a 1-1-2 record in non-conference games so far this season.
St. Lawrence is the 4th ranked offense nationally, but are ranked 52nd nationally on defense. SLU’s power play is ranked fourth in the nation, but their penalty kill not so good and is ranked 49th. SLU has scored 54 goals for and given up 51 goals against.
UND is ranked 36th nationally on offense and 45th nationally on defense. UND’s power play is ranked at 29th nationally. On the flip side, they’re ranked 10th nationally on the penalty kill. UND has scored 32 goals for and given up 39 goals against.
Additionally, a special “Black Friday” promotion will be available on Friday morning. From 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Friday, all remaining upper bowl seats will be sold for $20 for adults and $15 for children/youth.

Something has got to give. With SLU’s poor defense, you
have to think that UND’s forwards would be licking their lips this weekend,
with anticipation.
Historically Speaking
UND has had some great success in the Subway Holiday Classic.
UND has a 6-0-2 record in its last eight games. Last year, UND swept the Holy
Cross Crusaders (5-2 and 3-2) Subway Holiday Classic. Incidentally, that was
UND’s only sweep of the season at home last season.
Here’s some ticket Information UND hockey office. Go out and buy your tickets for this
weekend’s non-conference series.
Reserved seating and general admission tickets remain available for both games
this weekend. Additionally, a special “Black Friday” promotion will be available on Friday morning. From 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Friday, all remaining upper bowl seats will be sold for $20 for adults and $15 for children/youth.

UND Hockey: UND set in net
Something to think about.
While the University of North Dakota hockey team might
have a lot of new players coming in this season, the UND hockey team is set at
the goaltending position. Looking at the roster, I would say that the goaltending
is a strength of the 2013-14 UND hockey team. In net, UND is
backstopped by two very good goaltenders, sophomore Zane Gothberg (9-4-3,
2.46 GAA and .920 SV %) and senior Clarke Saunders (13-9-4, GAA 2.30 and .917 SV %).

UND Hockey: DU's silly ticket policy
 |
| English: Denver Pioneers logo. (Photo credit: Wikipedia) |
Brad Elliot Schlossman, Grand Forks Herald – The University of Denver is trying to make some money on UND men’s hockey fans — or keep them out of Magness Arena this season.
When single-game tickets go on sale Friday morning for UND’s road series at Denver, the Pioneers will require that fans buy tickets to two other selected Pioneer games if they want to go to a UND-DU game. The website doesn’t currently list which other games will be part of the three-game pack, but it won’t be a second UND-DU game.
For fans who don’t want to purchase sets of three, there are two other options.
The first is getting them through the UND Alumni Association, which has a number of tickets for that series.
Minnesota doesn't want our team in their arena. Now DU doesn't want our fans in their arena. Did you guys not get hugged enough as children?

St. Charles Chill Invites former UND goalie Tate Maris To Training Camp
 |
| Seal of the University of North Dakota (Photo credit: Wikipedia) |
Randall Ritchey, St Louis Game Time – Tate Maris, 23, attended The University of North Dakota and played as the third string goalie for the Fighting Souix for four years, has a chance to come into the Chill's training camp and compete for a back up position. The 5-foot-9 goaltender joined tryouts on the last day and was dominate in net. Rivers spoke on Maris and his joining the team during tryouts, "Maris came in on the last day and absolutely stood on his head, to the point in which we couldn't turn him away. He showed us enough in one day that he had the ability to play."
Maris truly was the best goalie on the ice during the scrimmage on Sunday, making countless highlight reel saves. Maris described his style of play, "I'm more of a hybrid style goalie. I'll do whatever it takes to stop the puck in the most controlled way, but sometimes desperation is needed. I worked a lot with Karl Goehring at North Dakota on improving my puck tracking skills and my lateral movement and it really helped improve my game." Maris also talked about what it takes to make the team out of training camp. "I have to do whatever it takes. The only thing that can hold me back is myself, so there is no excuse for not giving it my all. The game plan is to head back to Grand Forks, ND and bust my butt for a few weeks, come back here in October and play my best."
