they got the goal in the first two minutes, so the major did not cost us a goal. Actually do not regret Smith being off the ice if he's going to keep putting us on the PK.

Legit two, but not major. But it is what it is. time to play hockey and stay the f out of the box.

Looked that way to me too. He just needs to use his head a little more. He's been in the box way too much this weekend against the third best PP in the country.

The first interference call was questionable. The DU announcers aren't bytching about it, though.

Well, sounds kind of like my life, and at my age I'm fading fast by 9:00

Monty should be in a doghouse of his own, the way he has let his emotions control his behavior in front of his team.

Sundowning, Sic?

The announcers speculated that it was the faceoff thing, I believe.

this game was a confidence builder for the team and a reminder to us fans.

that's why it's often unfair they way we fans are quick to say they don't care or aren't working hard when things aren't going well on the ice. North Dakota players are known for their work ethic and team play.

Good point. Given the way Sioux fans travel, I wonder if we have ever influenced opponents' recruits in in their' own barns. Be interesting if any of our players or committed recruits ever noticed that when they were visiting another program.

Wonder if we stole any recruits from Monty tonight.

Needs a tootsie pop

Yzer's a good fan--just a little vulnerable to his own passion.

No, they wouldn't. Hockey is a funny game, though, as long as Mo is in the building somewhere.

Nah, tonight he's poking the weasel, yzer.

Parise, when is the last time I heard that movie mentioned? Makes me want to see it again.

There was some good coaching behind that effort. Big time adjustment after a nightmare 1st.

this kind of game is just what the doctor ordered for this team. Good test for Thome too, hanging in there after getting peppered early.

the boys showed good third period energy at CC, so the altitude should not hold them back. Coaching counts now.

Yzer's back.

Good point. And I'm glad we are playing a team this good. We won't be playing CCs and Miamis come nut cuttin time.

It does look a little like they are playing the Red Army, doesn't it.

We were clearly the better team that period, but the refs screwed us over.

This Denver team is just plain much better. It's not a case of us being lazy or unmotivated. DU is just that much better. But you never know in this game what might happen. Tonight, tomorrow, or two months from now.
