taking 1 of 4 points from UND isn't the worst. UND is a good team, its their home rink, and they had already played a series this year. I expected us to start slow on friday (ill admit that it was worse than i was hoping) but the team responded very well on saturday. We now know that we have two competent goalies, and that this team does have some competitiveness in them.... it was just late arriving.
Also, 1 of 4 is better than the 0 we took from them last year. The gophers have played much better in the second game of the series the last few years. That is a testament to the ability of Lucia to coach his boys to better results. The first game is more about the players' talent and instinct... and the second is more about the adjustments by the coaches.
Plus I seriously doubt that there is anyone out there who would be better than Lucia. The gophers having to fire their coach would kill recruiting even more, as it would be an indication of massive underachievement in the program, and we dont need that. My prediction: once Tony Lucia graduates, Don will not be afraid to rail into those boys and light a serious fire under their asses if they aren't trying their best at all times.
