DU 3 UND 2

This was a very disappointing game. In my opinion you only can control what you can control. UND did not do a very good job controlling their emotions. We can blame the Refs or George W for his constant complaining during the game, but the bottom line is you have to adapt; DU adapted to the flow of the game and UND did not.

UND- What I liked about the Game:
  • Brad Eidsness - He played great all weekend.
  • The power play - UND scored two goals off the power play

UND-What I did not like about the Game:
  • UND's Stupid, undisciplined penalties

Time to get over this weekend and focus on next week's series at the Subway Holiday Classic.

DU 1 UND 0

UND lost to Denver in a game that met the expectations of two highly ranked teams.

What I liked about the game:
  • Brad Eidsness
  • The fourth line of Cichy-Knight- Kristo
What I didn't like about the game:
  • The "line change" that was a factor in DU's goal. UND did not get the puck deep enough into the offensive zone before they made their change and it cost them a goal.
  • Missed opportunities - hit the goal post twice
  • Power play - Six chances nothing to show for it
I hope tonight's game will be as good as last night's game except with a different result - A UND win.

Let's Go Sioux.

UND 4 St Cloud 2

What I liked about the game:
  • The play of David Toews
  • Joe Gleason's save
  • Ben Blood's assist on Lamoureux's goal
What I did not like about the game:
The hit on Chay Genoway.

After reviewing the hit again, in my opinion, this was clearly intentional and could have been avoided. St. Cloud, WCHA and all of College Hockey need to put a stop to this. If they don't the individual Teams will.

Aaron Marvin should be suspended for multiple games. I would send a message to all of college hockey not only implement a suspension, but Marvin should not be able to return to St Cloud until Genoway is back playing with UND and then Marvin can sit out for his suspension.

This would send a message - hurt an opposing team player intentionally and you will be out for the same amount of time, if not more.

Pics from Harvard vs. Cornell

Here are some pictures I took when I was in Ithaca last weekend at the Harvard vs. Cornell game. It's a great place and I look forward to going back in January when the Sioux make a visit.
