Seems like the fourth line hasn't been out there all together since the second period. 4-3 UND....Just under 8 to go.

Miami was actually tied 2-2 at hockey sensation Ohio State. But Miami wins 6-2 in front of 4,000 people in a 17,000 seat arena. How will Target Field hold all the Ohio State fans?

If the NCAA tournament is going to be officiated like this they may as well officiate it like this all season long. Its ticky tack....it sucks.....but if it helps the teams figure out what they are going to get in April I guess we have to live with it.

What a tremendous face off play. Run to just about perfection.

Well hey, OD can score too. That guy from Crosby is stupid....

Smartest man in Crosby, North Dakota.

Okay, glad Rocco can score.

And then our guy takes a dive....and we've got a penalty on Vermont.

And the parade continues.

Will OD ever win a one on one battle again? I mean I just never expect him to come out of the corner with the puck.

Pretty bad first half of the second period for UND. Vermont is the more deserving team right now. UND hasn't shown much if any grit this period.

Can't be too upset for the first period. ~Tighten it up defensively ~Don't take penalties (der....) ~Pucks to the net.

Faceoff in UND's end with under a minute left in the period and its Pattyn taking the draw? What happened to Corban?

Creating some good chances off the cycle.

Ufffff.....you can't let a team get a transition breakaway when you're penalty killing and not forechecking...... Deep breath....young defense.....

And we have another penalty coming on UND.

UND all over them 5X5. So today's lesson is lets keep it even strength. Vermont penalty. Nice shift by UND.

And its going to be called pretty tight.....

5X5 I don't think Vermont can hang with UND. So UND decides to take penalties....okay. PS: Tremendous move by Drake. Thats the definition of undressing a defenseman.

Well, since we know that a certain defense doesn't create turnovers against good football teams...... If the offense doesn't run the ball half the time and snap the ball with 1 second on the play clock every down EWU could get to 70.

I think UND has a great 1-2 punch of Rocco and Parks in the shootout. Rocco has the hands and footwork to make a lot of great off balance moves which is tough on any goaltender. Parks is a finisher. Didn't show it last year, but when he is going in the right direction he finishes plays around the net. And the 3rd guy......hmmmmm......How about....ufff.....I guess Mark Mac.

Thats right. Didn't he fight Tony Turgeon? Or was it Tony Turgeon's aunt? Nevertheless. Here is the weekend lineup folks: Rocco-Drake-Tambellini Parks-Mark-Johnson Chyzyk-Gaarder-Murphy/Mitch Rodwell-Pattyn-St. Clair Apologies to OD. Just probably won't ever be the guy that had a lot of junior success. Don't know who should play with who on defense. And the goalies will split the games.

More Concerns: Could they get to 80?

Prediction: EWU 62 UND 28 Thoughts: Defense can't stop anybody. How are they going to stop a team that put up almost half a hundred on Oregon State at Oregon State. And thats Oregon State's only loss of the season. Concerns: EWU ending up with 70 points, and it being the worst loss in homecoming history.
