New rinkside reporter tonight. Hope the girl from last night didn’t get fired.

Let’s leave no doubt about which team is better. Let’s go.

I wanted that kid to pay for UND just cause his name is so awesome.

Unbelievable. How many guys can do that, and then on the next shift run someone over like a freight train?

It could’ve been a “leave no doubt” game if we bury a couple chances in the second. But a learning experience: don’t let the other guy hang around.

Useful shot.

That’s helpful. Hopefully.

Cannot let this slip away. UND has controlled this game.

Nice check by Albrecht. Clean. Love it.

The PP will get better, right? Right?

Trip? Yes, yes it was.

Yeah we were laughing. She must be mortified.

Love to see a shorty here.

This is going to get chippy.

It looks like it’s close.

Does anyone keep track of penalties drawn? Cause Blake would be at the top of that list.

Zmolek prevented a good scoring chance for Duluth.

Or just score

A bit choppy so far… Let’s get a forecheck going.

This would be my preference as well.

This weekend feels like it could be a tone-setting type of weekend. Play hard, play smart, avoid bad penalties. Hoping Strinden and James build on an impressive series against BU.

In March 2021, a CC-DU series was canceled because of COVID.

Okay one more list for now. This is a chart of each teams' average goals for (GF) per year, goals allowed (GA) per year, and goal margin (Difference) per year, ranked by the best goal margin to the worst. GF=goals scored per year. GA=goals allowed per year. Difference=goal margin per year. GF GA Difference 1. DU 75.2 55.3 +19.9 2. SCSU 81.9 62.8 +19.1 3. UND 76.9 58.0 +18.9 4. UMD 72.5 57.7 +14.8 5. WMU 74.1 77.7 -3.6 6. UNO 69.2 76.5 -7.3 7. Miami 55.1 83.4 -28.3 8. CC 48.1 81.6 -33.5 (Conference play only. Data from NCHChockey.com.) So, on average, DU has scored 19.9 more goals per season of conference play than it has allowed, the best of any team in the NCHC, followed closely by SCSU and UND. Miami and CC have struggled mightily both in scoring and preventing goals, which is why they're both allowing about 30 more goals per season than they're scoring.

Here are the teams, best to worst, for goal scoring in the first decade of NCHC play: SCSU - 819 total goals scored UND - 769 DU - 752 WMU - 741 UMD - 725 UNO - 692 Miami - 551 CC - 481
