Godsmack

After a great first period and then scoring two goals in a 42 second span, CC fell asleep and ASU came alive. Credit ASU, rather than fold the tent, they turned it on after falling behind 2-0. Johnny Walker comes as advertised too. The guy is always in the right spot. Did anyone read this week’s predictions on USCHO? Whoever the guy was that predicted CC would sweep, calling ASU overrated and saying they haven’t really beaten anyone good is crazy! ASU is legit, they are a damn good team and will be in good position for an at-large berth in the national tournament.

Yah, I’ve heard 700 seats but that may be an exaggeration. A guy on my beer league team hooked me up with tickets as he played at ASU in college.

Heading to Tempe this weekend for the CC/ASU series. I hear they play in an arena, Oceanside, that’s not much bigger than Purper Arena.

I heard about that floating Tiger head! How annoying! As a CC alum, I’m embarrassed at that!

Oh yah, I was there and I was so pissed! Wilkie rang iron three times in that game alone and I believe CC got 2 empty netters in the last minute of the game. UND deserved to win but Leclerc stood on his head.

UND has struggled at World Arena the past two seasons, splitting with the Tigers each of the past two years. Two years ago, a really bad CC team’s only home win of the season was a 3-0 victory over North Dakota and then last year the two teams split their 4 games. CC is an improved team compared to last year but still not very high in the PWR so I’d say that series is as crucial if not more so than the Canisius series as conference points are also on the line.

CC backup goaltender Alec Calvaruso has left the program. That leaves just two goalies-starter Alex Leclerc and sophomore back up, Jon Flakne with just one period of playing experience.

@MafiaMan is typically thrown out on the ice toward the end of a game when it’s become out of hand and the team needs an enforcer. Think of him as a version of Ryan Reaves for Vegas.

Hopefully these next several weeks, the guys can heal up. Anyone heading to Buffalo for the Canisius series? My wife thinks I’m crazy for going to Buffalo in January (which I am).

I can hear the Pios fans now, “Gardner’s dirty....typical dirty North Dakota!”

DU’s playing a smart, efficient game so far.

Just providing play-by-play for those experiencing technical difficulty.

Looked like that goal was the result of a UND turnover along the rail.

I’m sure the folks at Let’s Go DU are tickled pink about Kierstad’s game DQ. Have a feeling DU’s going to come out flying tonight to try and salvage points, they’re in desperation mode too.

Vermont’s goalie is legit. The score did not indicate how well this guy played.

Yah, but then again, Berry didn’t have much to say when asked by the Grand Forks Herald if he had put the poster up on the locker room door either....

That song is oozing with cheese! I love it!

One of my favorite movies from the 80’s!

Then he can focus on his true love...basketball

“Paging Mr. Samberg, paging Mr. Samberg. Your jock has been found laying on the right faceoff dot in Amsoil Arena.”

I think @Oxbow6 was making a joke. At least that’s how I took it.

Probably was @MafiaMan. He can be a real sarcastic SOB.

I watched most of the CC/Omaha game until it was clear CC was going to win and I switched it over to watch the third period of the UND game. CC really came out aggressive and were flying. @MafiaMan will love this next comment.... WE were really skating hard and we were the aggressors tonight. Nice road win for us tonight.

I kinda missed Hennessey’s comment at the beginning of the post game show. He said someone tweeted a derogatory remark equating UND to a squirt team that was practicing on the ice earlier. Does anyone know who for Duluth made that tweet?
