Good point. As dismal as CC's pp is, I believe they scored at least a couple on us back in January.

I think the grind of the long season had caught up with CC goalie Josh Thorimbert. If you look at his stats, they aren't impressive, particularly over the past couple of games he's played (3 in the first five minutes against UNO and I believe 4 last Friday against St. Cloud). That said, he's a solid goaltender who hasn't gotten much help from his D men nor offensive help from his forwards and centers. Kinda hard to win when your team averages at or below two goals a game. Key for UND is to throw lots of pucks at him.

I was leaving the CC game and talking with a friend of mine who said he didn't do a post game with Hennessy... I found that hard to believe and as it turns out, it sounds like he was incorrect.

I hear Hak wouldn't do a post game interview. What's up with that?

4-1 now. CC with early pp goal.

Oh, sweet! Congrats to the Green Wave!

Off topic but can anyone tell me if EGF won the state hockey tournament?

6-4 SCSU

No doubt...I'm ticked.

3-1 SCSU

Crap...1-1 just like that.

1-0, CC! Game just started!!!

Thanks!

I wonder how Tambo is doing?

Well, I'll be at the World Arena on Saturday so I'll be more than happy to present SCSU with the second place trophy so that Fenton can be in Grand Forks to present the boys in Green the Penrose Cup!

I hope you all are right in CC taking a game this weekend against St. Cloud because up until last weekend you're right-they had been playing pretty good hockey but then they laid two eggs against Omaha, Friday in particular was really bad. Saturday, a better effort until the last minute of the 3rd and 55 seconds into OT....they played scared.

1-1 UNO with a pp goal.

1-0, CC 35 seconds in.

It's as if UND has accepted that they don't have any high flyers like in years past so they've simply out-worked and out-hustled teams instead. I like it.

So I didn't get to watch the game last night but in watching the highlights of UND's goals, it sounds like St. Cloud was lazy in front of their own net. Is that a fair analysis? If so, I would imagine a better effort from the Huskies tonight. Hopefully UND will be prepared for the push St. Cloud will give.

The game reminded me of the Broncos in the Super Bowl-hit in the mouth early, with no response.

Ok, I gotta post here and take my lumps. In Omaha for the CC/UNO series. Ugly right out of the gate; CC gets scored on 11 seconds into the game, team gives up a shorty a few minutes later, and Thorimbert gets the hook after giving up a third soft goal. 6-0 beat down but at least the Omaha fans were gracious winners.

I did troll on the SCSU forum and did find that it sounds like Andrew Prochno is going to be out but he's the only one I could find.

My St. Cloud State co-worker came up to me today at lunch and stated that UND will likely sweep them because they have two key defensemen out this weekend. Naturally, when I asked who, he refused to tell me. This is the same guy who was sandbagging a few weeks ago and told me that some of their key players had been suspended by Motzko and that he (my co-worker) was throwing in the towel on the season. On blind faith I posted what he said here and true to smart UND fans' fashion, some of you checked and could not find where there were any players out for suspension.

I like your comment about it having been crunch time for the past several weeks since their poor start. If anything, this stretch could-and should-make them battle-tested come playoff time.
