James is out again?

CC stomped AF, geez. NCHC OOC for today (3-2-0): UMD 3 - Cornell 2 (Duluth scores with less than 2min to go to break their slump) CC 8 - AF 0 (CC with 4 ppg's) UNO 2 - LIU 1 UM 5 - WMU 4 BSU 3 - SCSU 1 (SCSU are undefeated no longer)

Ya never like to see UMD win, but that's better for the league if they stop losing all their OOC games.

Possible upset alert? SCSU trails BSU 2-1 in the 3rd. Another not very stellar night for the NCHC in OOC play.

Wild one between UM and WMU...UM led 3-1, WMU tied it up, then UM scored at end of 2nd to take a 4-3 lead after 2. SCSU up on BSU 1-0 UNO up 1-0 on LIU UW up 1-0 on PSU (Penn St still undefeated)

DU 2 - Miami 0 both goals with the exact same line (Mazur from Rizzo & Dornbach)...that'll be a potent line for them this year

Merrimack outshooting UMass 22-8 ...tied at 1 in the 2nd

Bye bye #1 ranking, I guess.

Halliday with the 4th OSU goal. OSU already has more SOG than UND did in the Sat game. Although I agree with farce...it's a totally different game if you get them off the Olympic ice.

WMU and UM tied 1-1 end of first DU leading Miami 1-0 in 1st UNO continues their tough OOC schedule playing LIU.

Maybe a letdown game for UMN after playing their biggest rival ( )last weekend. I'm hoping UND doesn't experience the same tomorrow.

https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/9-ways-und-and-arizona-states-programs-are-tied-together All sorts of connections between UND and ASU. I didn't realize that Nick Naumenko was in Phoenix as a hockey director. My kids are starting to play through that program, I'll have to wear my Sioux gear and see if I can run into him.

Ha, got it, thanks for the rundown. Yeah, I can only imagine how much pressure these kids are under to perform well. Just from themselves, coaching staff, etc...let alone us idiots on the keyboards. I had a computer class with Matt Jones when I was at UND...was probably 2003 (?) or so right after I had joined ss.com, and I sat directly behind him. He was on siouxsports literally every day looking on the forum.

"For Da Oxbow" was the chant, I believe.

Ha nice, I can only imagine. I've never listed to a podcast before (how old am I?)...what was the gist?

Connecticut beats BC 5-1 and moves to 7-1-1 on the season. Impressive start of the season for them.

Must be decent injuries to Bast and Montgomery...

Still can't find any info at all about Mitchell Miller and where he might be playing. He's way too talented to just hang it up at 20 yo. You'd think overseas would be an option.

Good news: Perron is tearing it up right now. Bad news: Morrow and Halliday would be excellent additions to this UND team.

UND has allowed 5, 6, 3, and 4 goals in their last four games. Unless the defense turns a serious corner this week, I don’t see them only allowing one goal to ASU. I’ll go with a 5-4 game, with hopefully our boys in green taking the W (in regulation!).
