defkit's Terrier Takeaway
- Kudos to the team and the coaching staff for bouncing back from an ugly loss to quickly "right the ship". These are the games that ultimately determine what level of success the team will achieve, and to pull out a win under these circumstances gives the team (and fans) a lot of confidence.
- Caron was outstanding all game long and weathered the storm in the second period when UND had the clear edge in possession and opportunities. The late goal by Harvey in that period provided a huge lift to the team, and they played much better in the third.
- On his breakaway goal, Harvey again showed ability to finish in close, as he did with his shootout goal against Harvard.
- Great to see Kaplan have such a big goal after being somewhat quiet and primarily hitting the scoresheet in the penalty column so far this season. The play fittingly started on a blocked shot by Boumedienne, as the team seems to have improved their shot-blocking prowess as the season has progressed.
- Willander's
game has taken a step in the right direction this season. He is
playing at a high level more consistently than last year, which is a big help
given the upperclassmen that we lost from last season. And he's getting pucks on net--he had a goal and a post against UConn.
- North Dakota is a highly skilled team, and I wouldn't be surprised to see them reach the Frozen Four. Perron has tremendous speed and Boisvert came as advertised. On the back end, Emery also impressed.
- A split on the road against a top-10 team is a solid result. Hopefully, the team can keep the momentum going and come up with a couple wins against Michigan next weekend.
