I don't think either of his hits were illegal and I loved both of them haha. I believe DU was hoping it was a major simply because they wanted a 5 minute PP since they were down 2-0 already. Carle took a calculated risk to try and get a major power player, IMO.

Agreed. If a kid that size wants retribution for a big hit, he'll find one without waiting for a player to skate into the zone.

Honestly, not sure it was a response directly. I believe Kleven just saw an opportunity for a big time hit, IMO. He wasn't head hunting for one. He may have WANTED one after what Savoie did, but it certainly didn't feel like he was seeking one out.

I mean, that's a good idea, too lol.

I don't disagree, but no team out there is a world beater. St. Cloud, Michigan, Minnesota, Mankato all have holes. I agree that reducing turnovers is essential, but every team will say that. For this team, I do agree that we can't get away with a bad period/shift/game/etc as much as in years past. To me, we've found our formula. It's how we played against QU on Saturday and how we played against DU -- grinding, puck possession, smart and safe hockey.

God it's fun sweeping these guys: https://daddydumpandchase.blogspot.com/2021/11/roses-and-thorns-und-sweeps-pios-as.html

Quick, before we move on to Miami https://daddydumpandchase.blogspot.com/2021/11/roses-and-thorns-und-sweeps-pios-as.html

Costantini. I only correct because I absolutely thought it was Constantini until like 2 weeks ago haha. Kid has absolutely been growing and doing so very quickly.

We're all conditioned to be afraid of DU haha. Especially when we've struggled. Splitsville.

Certainly did not look at mine. Same with everyone in my group and at another door that a couple of my friends went through. Just sayin.

If we're being honest, they were barely looking when we all came in.

Good ol Denver.... Watching TTD from this week, I feel like there is a sense that the boys think they let the fans down last week in Nashville. Hopefully that drives a little bit of extra giddy up this weekend. I think we split this weekend, but we get one tonight. 4-2 Sandy, Hain, Sendo, Costantini

DDC's take on this weekend: Gotta take that cup from us! https://daddydumpandchase.blogspot.com/2021/11/friday-gameday-penrose-champs-until-we.html

That was solid. The past few years were pretty meh. Hopefully this is an upward trend.

DDC's take on an awesome, insanely fun weekend and a not-so-fun game -- Dayn Belfour stole the show: https://daddydumpandchase.blogspot.com/2021/11/roses-and-thorns-hall-of-fame-weekend.html

Totally and unequivocally agree. I've said it all season, I like the pieces. Still missing a bit of depth. I'm noticing Costantini playing a bigger role every game. I truly believe this team is a playoff team and by January, they are turning the corner.

Sounds like it's not going to, but ain't no stopping my sunshine starting tomorrow!

I guess, I'd assume they'd put these on the game jerseys and that's my point. All and all, this doesn't matter hahaha. I'm just expressing what I saw on the site and I agree it'd be weird for them to sell the warmups.

Not sure why the warmups would leak. Also, not sure why the warmups would have the NCHC and US Hockey Hall of Fame logo on them.

I hope they do, but that doesn't seem like the plan.

They've done it before, for sure. I think of the camo one they did maybe 5 to 7 years ago.

From the Ralph website: https://www.theralph.com/nashville/nashville-merchandise A little ambiguous because they haven't revealed those jerseys above as the practice warmup jerseys, but seems like they are only going to be worn in warmups

I'm pretty sure these are only going to be worn during warm ups. Since these jerseys would look weird with black breezers and they won't want to take the time to switch out everything, I'd assume we'll be wearing green. I could be wrong on the second part lol.

Sanderson. Big time players have shown a penchant to show up in these games, so I gotta go with our star.

After re-reading it for my blog, my guess is the kid who wrote that article just doesn't know anything about UND or likely for that matter, much about college hockey. It was from an independent student newspaper.
