UND 5 - UAA 0

Another great Friday night effort by the Sioux:

What I liked about the game:

• Dell's shutout
• Dell's Assist
• The power play
• The penalty kill
• Trupp's Goal

What I didn't like about the game:

• Corban Knight's checking from behind late in the third period. Second time this season a freshman has received a game misconduct penalty late in the third period.

Other Item: Friday night - Lights Out:

Friday games are starting to look like UND's night. UND has not allowed a goal in eight periods of hockey on Friday night. They have scored at least four goals in each of the games on Friday night and have only allow two goals in total. I am sure there are more interesting stats on Fridays. It will be interesting to see how this plays out as the season progresses.

LET'S GO SIOUX!!!!!

Gwozdecky battled H1N1 - Some things are bigger than Hockey

Denver Post.com reported that "DU coach George Gwozdecky battled H1N1 this week but traveled with the team to Minnesota today. He said he might not go on the ice at practice today but will be behind the bench in Friday’s series opener." Are you kidding me. There are some things that are bigger than a hockey game and this is one of them.

This is a serious illness and it needs to be taken that way. Gwozdecky is not only impacting his players but potentially everyone he comes in contact with. While college campuses across the United States are trying to protect students and stop the illness from spreading, he appears to be saying it's ok to push the limits if you are playing sports.

Now, I hope his Doctor, DU, University of Minnesota, as well as the WCHA, cleared this by saying he is not contagious and he can no longer spread the illness. If there is a small chance that he could spread the illness he should have stayed home to protect all those around him. This doesn't even consider that some of the DU players may now be spreading the illness.

If any coach or player of any team - I don't care who he is - contracts this illness, the illness needs to become bigger than the game.

UND3 Minn3

From a college hockey perspective this was a much more entertaining UND vs. Minn. game


What I liked about the game:

• UND came away with three points for the weekend
• Jake Marto's save late in the third period
• Goals from the blue line( both games)

What I didn't like about the game:

• Gophers short handed goal
• Inconsistent play by UND
• Eidsness being away from the front of the net

UND 4 - Minn. 0

UND had a great team effort in last night’s game. They beat the Gophers 4-0.

What I liked about the game:

• 11 players on UND had at least one point.
• UND scored off the power play.
• UND played their game for the full 60 minutes.
• The whiteout by the fans at the REA.
• The UND “kill” of the five-minute checking from behind penalty.

What I didn’t like about the game:

• Gleason’s five-minute checking from behind penalty - If this was a closer game it could have been a huge issue.
• Watching the Gopher feed on Fox College Sports.

I’m sure tonight’s game will have a very different feel to it. I expect the Gophers will play very differently then the way they played last night.

Let’s Go Sioux!
