The announcers just spent five minutes talking about an amazing Summerhays save that just turned out to be a puck that rolled over Hanowski's stick. 1-0 Clowns after one. Nice job fellas!

Could the popcorn guy get in the way of the live shot any more?

1-1.....Wait a second.....kicking motion.... Should be a no goal.....and it isn't.

1-0 SCSU. Hanowski.

I hear ya. Looks terrible. But for a wonderful cause. If I was the coach this would be the only reason.

Ten minutes in and we've got no score with SCSU-Notre Dame. Both goaltenders playing well. Goals tough to come by.

Doesn't matter who the goaltender is. If this team plays like they are capable of it shouldn't come down to the goaltending.

This is the lineup.....this is the lineup. Edit: Checked Brad's twitter, and yes Clark Saunders is going to be in the net for UND.

PS: What SCSU is doing with their hair for locks of love is incredible. That is truly a remarkable story in college hockey and all of these players should be commended for this.

Joe Phillipi just got called Faragher on the broadcast.....things not starting well for the huskies....

I'm not sure if Mafia is left or right handed. So I'm not sure which dot, but I'll assume we're playing a 2-3 forecheck until you or I get the puck.

That Kristo goal is unreal. To gain control of a bouncy puck in the slot, then put the puck on the net, get his rebound, dangle a defenseman behind the net, before stuffing it in wraparound style..... Have fun in the NHL Danny.

I think that Hak and company were doing their best job of not throwing OD under the bus. Yeah, its the five guys on the ice, but if you put me, Mafia, and Oxbow together on a line and say go get me a powerplay goal fellas, were not going to have any chemistry.....its going to be forced, and likely Mafia will just hang out by the dot like Bjugstad.... It had everything to do with the line combinations. Kristo had more space....he scores.....I'm not a bright man but I do know enough about hockey to figure out that Niagara had to respect three forwards on the ice instead of just two......

Winning....Winning.

Love that line too, but is it better than a Rowney with Mark and Parks? PS: When I said Drake was odd man out I meant odd man out of the top two units. I think you go KKR-RPM, then Cags-Pattyn-St. Clair, and the fourth line is whoever with Gaarder. Although I thought that Gaarder-Pattyn-St. Clair played extremely well together.

I said it before....how does he play every third shift for two periods....and then sit the entire third period? Just....what? I pick the third period lineup...

Three wins.....just three wins.....

That works for me too. Just keep two scoring units on the ice that can wear Yale down.

Dirty play......in the pros there would have been a fight after that one. I've never seen Knight that completely ready to kill somebody.....wow. Odd man out in the lineup now is Drake. Going with the seasons on the line lineup got the team the lead and just gave Niagara no hope for the rest of the game. At the end they put Mark up with Knight and Kristo and rode them to the end. The mix matching continues.... My lines tomorrow: Knight-Kristo-Rocco Parks-Rowney-Mark Gaarder-Pattyn-St. Clair Fill in fourth unit forwards....Chyzyk, Drake, OD.

Just seemed disinterested to me. Guess its time to make himself some money in the pros.

I stand by my statement. Good goaltending in a hockey game is the greatest equalizer in all of sports where one team is absolutely dominating another.

I think these games show how evenly paired the teams in college hockey are. I knew Yale wouldn't get rolled by Minnesota, and I knew that UND-Niagara was basically a toss up type hockey game. Niagara has got a tremendous goaltender. And the great equalizer in all of sports is goaltending. I'm glad our guy was up to the task as well. And sadly, I'm cheering for Denver now.....

Thoughts: ~I'll never understand hockey.....ever.....OD goes from playing every third shift to not seeing the ice whatsoever in the third....wtf..... ~Zane was very good. Get pissy about the goal all you want, but I'll take that all year. ~Dillon Simpson.....just.....talk about a solid steady smart defenseman. Things are under control when he's on the ice. ~Need to keep Rocco up top......thats all I got. Three more wins......three more wins.....doesn't matter how they get them.

Empty net....

Simpson has to be on the ice here with Forbort......rotate out with Forbort.
