Ever hear of a place called the Soo?

Thurs Night hockey action: OSU 9 - Bentley 2 (former UND recruit Halliday with a hattrick of assists and now leads the team in points as a frosh) PSU 6 - STU 2 (PSU remains undefeated at 5-0-0)

RIP Earl. Hopefully Ben can get a goal or two this weekend in his honor.

Some Tues night hockey action: Holy Cross 7 - AIC 3 (HC 1st win of the season) Merrimack 6 - UNH 1 Canisius 3 - RPI 2 (RPI 1st loss of the season) Northeastern 3 - BC 3 OT (BC stud freshman Gauthier playing his 1st game, also gets his 1st goal)

Agreed at this point, unfortunately. I was hoping he'd breakout a bit and have a big senior year, but I'm not seeing it yet. Through 4 games he has the same number of penalties (3) as shots on goal (3) and zero points. Not the best stat line thus far.

Looks like we'll be taking on the #1 ranked Goofers this weekend. Hopefully the boys can knock them down a peg or two.

I assumed he was talking about BSU since they were at the Ralph about a year ago. And he's right, they did go on to big things...19-19-0 was a pretty good record before they got bounced in the CCHA Tourney Championship to MSUM in OT. One goal away from making the dance!

BU hands UM their first loss of the season, 3-2. Notre Dame beats NMU, 5-4.

Hopefully the boys can get out of Mariucci with a split (or better). And then the destination game against ASU, which hopefully goes better than last year against PSU. PSU had a poor season last year after they beat us, and I feel the same could very well happen with ASU. So hopefully the team can take care of business in Vegas to help boost the PWR. ASU just split with Colgate and has CC this weekend.

Yes, I know.

Of course the team had a blast, they scored 11 goals.

That was just a warmup, like Manitoba. UNO would crap their pants if they saw QU, UMN, etc on their OOC schedule.

Not a good weekend at all for NCHC OOC games.

10 goals (with our goalies in net) on 44 sog for the weekend? Yeah, that's pretty much horsecrap.

Just get out of this game. This is embarrassing at this point. Not much of an effort the last two periods.

For sure. Doesn't get any easier with @UMN, ASU, @UNO, DU all coming up next.

Would love to see it, is a big ask to have them do that two nights in a row. Crap 1st period last night, crap 2nd period tonight...can't be letting teams score 3 goals a period once a night.
