So much for this power play getting us back into the game.

Lammy needs to stick to stopping the pucks, not playing them. He seems to do just fine at the former, but suck at the latter.

Sioux PP on the way! Now's the time boys. It'll be tough to get 3 on BTO in the 3rd so we need one now!

Even strength! Now just get 1 back before the end of the period, get to the locker room, let Hak chew some but and put on a hockey 101 clinic on how to protect your own blue line. Then come out and put it all together in the 3rd.

Penalty on Duncan for hooking. Either the floodgates are gonna swing open or this could shift the momentum back to us. Big couple of shifts coming up.

Remember the days when we used to be a physical, hard-hitting team?

3-1 CC. As usual for tonight 4 Sioux skating behind the play with no body on a CC skater.

Goal CC. That's two you owe us Robbie.

Penalty Bina. Interference. It was pretty bogus, but he has not had a great night thus far.

It was a great pass from Finley. Right on the stick. Those are the things we seem to be doing extremely well for this early in the year, at least compared to previous seasons.

Can you say cherry-picker?

Watkins!!!!!!!!!! 1-1

Surprise, surprise. Genoway is caught with pants down again. Memo to the Sioux. CC can skate, so don't put yourself in a position where you have to skate with a forward just to get back into the play!

No doubt. At least Sweeney does a decent job of telling us.

Let's go PK. Time to get that shortie back!

We're back. Let's see some CC skaters stood up at the blue line rather than skating into our zone freely while we scramble to catch up and we'll be fine. UND's top line is gonna assert itself this period.

One thing is for sure, the Sioux excel at putting pressure on the goalie, it's just sometimes we put just as much pressure on our own goalie!

It is kinda funny isn't it. Despite being outshot last night in the 1st, we still outplayed them and I think we did so again tonight. Hockey is a funny game.

This game is playing out a lot like last night, to be honest with you. We're getting decent chances, it's just last night we got away with being undisciplined and joining the rush, whereas tonight, we don't have anything to show for it.

Well, giving up odd man rushes the other ways finally bit us in the butt. Short handed goal CC.

I was just gonna say Duncan probably deserves POG and Sweeney made it official, but I think JPL deserves a lot of credit too. CC has a couple of early opportunities on odd man rushes and he easily turned them aside. We dominated the first period, but actually got outshot. Phil had a big hand in that. Last year, one of those probably turns into a goal for CC and the whole complexion of the game changes.

That could have been ugly. Kozez was checking neck first into the bench! So much for a nice clean game.

Pretty impressive that Finley's was the first penalty of the period. Nice clean game for both teams.

Roebuck is the Dagwoods king! I honestly don't think I ever set foot in Dagwoods without seeing Roebuck there just hammered out of his mind.

I agree. I keep hearing the name Walski and it's always right in front of the Sioux net. I keep wondering when we pulled JPL each time till I realize it's CC's Walski.
