While I think this year's team will be better than last year's team, I'm still not so sure they will be a lot better. Friday they gave up two 2 goal leads and a lead in the third period to settle for a tie. Last night they must have sent the first line back home because they sure weren't visible on the ice. And it looks like they played against the best goalie in the universe (again). 35 SOG and one goal. Deja vu all over again.

Berry said he thought he got the wind knocked out of him. Hopefully that's all it was.

UND won both the SOG and faceoffs last year and it didn't get them much. Losing the faceoff battle as badly as they did this weekend will result in a lot of losses if it continues this season.

54 seconds to go - empty net - penalties on both teams.......

1:54 to go - come on boys

Could be worse - #5

Just hanging out listening to the game. I became a first time grandpa 3 weeks ago! My wife is helping out with the baby and I'm at home doing various projects. What's new with you?

And it's 1-1 just after the start of the period

Offsetting penalties to start the second period

Ok I looked. 26-47. Ouch. So far it's looking like more of the same tonight

What were the final numbers on faceoffs last night?

Fast, strong in front of the net. He is going to be a great addition to this year's team.

I was seeing shades of last year for a little while. 12 SOG and nothing past the goalie. A couple PPs and big difference.

I'm a little upset. Last year the PP was , ah, lousy. Now there's a new guy (Karl) running the PP and the boys made it look so easy a peewee team could have done it. I know it's the first game and an exhibition but I don't know if I've ever seen a Sioux team move the puck into the zone so easily. Why did Berry put up with last year's terrible PP? Karl for president! Oh, and they scored on the PP!

Anyone that is offended by the word Pioneers is trying real hard to be offended.

I think the solution to not being able to put the puck in the net is simple. In the intro to Through These Doors you see a player one-timing a shot right into the middle of the net. Had there been a goalie the puck would have hit him square in the chest (sound familiar?). So they need to edit that intro and show a player hitting a corner. Guaranteed increase of at least 1.5 goals per game. You're welcome.
