5-1 now, can't do anything about it, it's 5 on 3 STILL for 30 more seconds. period almost over.

4-1 Cats now. Craaaaaaaaaaaaap.

Cascalenda gets 5 min major and game misconduct for checking from behind. Less than 2 min later, Carroll gets the same. Gergen serves the penalty for Cascalenda. Why would they put their best player in to serve a 5 min penalty? I know it has to be someone on the ice at the time of the penalty, but can't the coach choose?

Hey now, there's a whole thread for "other games," people.

He is wrong and you are right. The Bulldogs are the masters of losing the 2 goal lead.

Yeah it seems to me people are forgetting about the great returning players because of the big name recruits. Not just at UND, either *ahem*kessel*ahem* Way to go Stafford!

Stafford doesn't want the freshmen getting all the praise.

Power Play goal for VT, now it's 3-1. Need to work on those special teams.

I thought so, but I was looking at the collegehockeystats site and it seemed like they all started at the same time. I thought they stuck to one time zone but I guess not. Oh well, silly me.

End of 1, it's 2-1 Vermont, with lots of penalties being called. Anyone else out there? Hello? There's actually WCHA action tonight, and no one's watching?

now a shorty?

All right! PP goal, gotta love those.

goal VT, delayed penalty call 2-1 now.

Your game seems to be paralleling my game, except it's 1-1 not 0-0.

I've been around a bit, but I've been working. Let's get together at Senser's for a UND game some time this year!

Catamounts tie it up. Tomko from Mitchell as a UMD player screened the net.

UMD SCORES!!!!!!!! JUSTIN WILLIAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally, first blood! For some reason, KDAL is using the VT broadcast instead of the UMD one. It's not bad, but I would prefer the UMD announcers. Williams, from Czech, 7:04 in the 1st

Has your game actually started yet? Never mind that. I see now that it has.

'Dogs are underway in VT. Gergen already has a scoring chance. Isaac in net.

You are right, that our D-corps has a lot to do with it, but why are you surprised? We returned only a few defensemen, and last year our defense struggled as well. It doesn't surprise me in the least, there's no leadership there. We lost Beau Geisler and then no one stepped up. I'm not hanging the hat totally on Ziggy, really. I mostly said what I said because people were so curious earlier about what sort of playing time he was going to get, and blah blah blah. Our seasoned goaltenders should not be giving up goals like they have been. A young d-corps isn't an excuse to give up more goals, it's an excuse to step up and be sharper. Not all the goals that the 'Dogs have let in have been because of poor D. Some of them have been bad goaltending, and not just Ziggy. He's learning, he's the least of my worries. BUT like I said before, there's something to be said for keeping the team in the game. I'm not happy about a whole lot of aspects of the Bulldogs game. However, unlike last year, I can actually have hope for the future. Although at the end of the 03-04 season, I had hope for the future, too, and look where that got me. Let's see how tonight goes. Maybe a W? I've got my jersey on!

Giving up 5 goals is giving up 5 goals. And, there is something to be said for keeping the team in the game. But no, it is not entirely his fault. The one bright spot is, my new favorite guy did score our only goal. Those Shattuck-St. Mary's players are pretty good. Maybe we'll have to get some more of those in the future...

YES, THAT WOULD BE HIM THAT STARTED.

The problem is, I keep getting scheduled on Friday and Saturday nights, so I can't listen, and that breaks their spirits. Oh yeah, and thanks SO MUCH for that Ziegelmann kid. He's REALLY CLUTCH in the goal.

He's playing hockey in Las Vegas now, he graduated last year, remember?

Maybe he would like to have me come to GF and keep him company...
