A couple UMD players have gotten fighting DQ's in the UW/UMD game, so next Friday the Bulldogs will be shorthanded a bit.

I don't think LaPoint is quite ready for the PP yet. He's still too tentative with the puck, which could lead to some odd man SH rushes going the other way. I think once he gains some more confidence with the puck later this season, then maybe pop him on the 2nd pp unit to see how he does.
I think both him and Marto will be great dmen in the jr/sr years...
I thought the Hextall/VV/Duncan line generated some good chances out there, especially considering that they were paired against UW's top line all game. I don't think Hextall looked out of place with those two at all, and he had an excellent shot hit the post right before Gregoire's GWG. Will he be on the top line all season? Probably not...heck, he probably won't be tomorrow night, but I wouldn't say that he played poorly up there.
Wasn't it our Captain Duncan that took a penalty in a 3-3 tie in the Saturday MSUM game with just a few minutes left?
Of course, VV bailed him out there...
I think BSU is a good team from the CHA as well. They did just split with a strong SCSU team.
OSU has the power of Hunter Bishop, but I was still surprised to see them hang with DU.
Yeah, I really didn't want a winless Badger team coming into the Ralph. Hopefully the Sioux forwards can exploit their young defense, as they have been having difficulties keeping teams below 5 goals/game so far.
BU seems to have already peaked! Nowhere to go but down for them.
Makes the loss to them earlier this season a bit easier to take.
UMass has been impressive as well, tying a strong UNH team.
Eidsness I think just earned himself the Fri night start against UW.
Speaking of UW...I think both them and DU have bigger goaltending "issues" than the Sioux. None of the goalies in the DU/UW series could stop a beach ball this weekend. After last night's 6-5 game, it's already 5-3 DU in the 2nd tonight.
