I would say that this weekend we better get 3 or 4 points. The Mavs are a decent team, but if the Sioux want to make noise in the WCHA race, this is a must win series, especially at home. They have two impressive wins against the Beavers, but BSU hasn't really been the same team since they beat Miami for some reason. Go Sioux! Hopefully Kristo comes back and isn't too tired out (cue the Lucia whine).

The first and third goals for ND I wouldn't put on Eidsness' shoulders. On both of them there was a good amount of traffic in front and I'm not sure he saw either of them until it was too late. He might want the 2nd one back since it was an unscreened shot, but it was still a wrister from in close while on a ND rush. I don't think Eidsness played poorly at all this weekend. He only let in the one goal against Niagara...from a scramble in front with players whacking at the puck...and played decent against ND IMO. Too much negativity on this board. Would I rather the Sioux have won tonight? For sure. But I would still take our OOC record this season instead of what it was at this point last season. They are undefeated in NC play. Not many teams can say that, and it will help them greatly come PWR time at the end of the season. A win or two against Cornell would help as well.

Deserving award for Kauker.

PP over. 2min left, tied 4-4

****

I guess not! Penalty on Canada with 5min left.

Yeah... The refs would probably fear for their lives if they called a penalty on Canada at this point.

Another weak penalty on the US.

Go to the IIHF website, they have all the stats/standings.

Weak. Bounced off like 3 players in front of Campbell. 4-3 USA

The US just hit the post. That would have been huge...

KRISTO!!!!

It's Dean Blais hockey combined with the best U20 players in the nation. Speed kills, Dean really built a fast team here, even the dmen can fly.

No doubt. If the WCHA called the games like the Intl, it would really separate the league, which is probably what the league doesn't want. The UAA, MTU, MSUM, etc of the league would really be lower-tiered when compared to the UND, UW, DU, UMN, etc. The talent from those teams would be allowed to actually skate instead of being tackled for the game, which would really allow them to shine offensively.

End of 2nd period. 3-2 USA What a great game so far.

Another Shorty!!!! 3-2 USA

How many odd man rushes will Canada give the US? They need to bury those...

Great tape to tape pass from Johnson I believe on the boards.

Great period of hockey. 1-1 End of 1st.

I like how the US is playing so far. Very quick and getting more quality chances than CAN IMO. Can they keep it up?

I could see Hakstol putting Frattin on the 3rd/4th line this weekend just until he gets back up to game speed. Either way, it will be great to have him back on the ice.

Yeah, for Chay limited time would be only 30min of ice time a game.
