Gardner with a slashing penalty. I think that’s his first of the season.

We can play with anyone in the country.

Wilkie on crutches up in the stands with his teammates. He was skating funny on Tuesday against DU. He’s got a boot on.

Just tough. We have all this zone time and work hard but are lucky if we even generate a decent shot on goal, and if we do, no screen to take away Leclerc’s eyes or anyone home for the rebound.

He dropped an F bomb loud enough to be heard from Pikes Peak. He thought he got tripped and the ref didn’t call it.

Agreed... UND controlled zone time but never really tested Leclerc.

I thought the calls on Bowen and Adams were legit, especially Bowen’s. I don’t know how he could argue with the ref on that.

Any word in Wilkie?

CC came out flat and unprepared from the hop. I won’t pin this loss on Wilkie but man, he had a bad game. From his interference penalty a minute and a half in to his turnovers, it was not a good night for him but other than Alex Leclerc making some big saves, nobody for CC looked good.

Big game for CC and DU tonight at World Arena.

Two goals in 10 seconds.

And just like that, DU goes up 3-1 on Miami in the 3rd. Two goals in 10 seconds for the Pios. Jack Doremus who had 1 career goal now has 2 in 10 seconds.

I gotta make the scoresheet somehow.

I never would’ve saw US scoring 5 in the third! What I liked was how WE kept coming at Western even after WE popped in a couple early rather than sitting back. Nice bounce back for US! Edit: This post is dedicated to @MafiaMan

A few weeks ago, CC beat Duluth on a Friday night and then the next night, UMD came out like a completely different team. I have a feeling Sandelin wasn’t very happy with his team’s performance last night and tonight will be a tougher challenge. He has a way of motivating his boys but hat said, I hope UND responds in kind and sweeps Duluth tonight!

We blew a 2 goal lead-again-in the 3rd period. Here we go, another overtime.

Touché! That was a good one!

Wilkie with a bomb to put CC up 1-0 midway through the first period. It’s now 2-1 CC after one.

I was wondering about that! Nice that they slipped that in!

Oh, I know nothing about them. I looked up their website and it appears they’ve been involved in several sports arena projects. They want an open concourse concept which I am a big fan of. Edit: I should say, up until today, I knew nothing about JLG but from what I heard today, I was impressed with their preliminary designs.

They went out of their way to speak to the exterior and how they want it to not look like the typical square arena, that they want the architecture to compliment the neighborhood/school/state. Very preliminary and there will likely be many iterations over the course of the coming weeks.

I attended one of the several Robson Arena community meetings this morning on the CC campus and there was a small-but very vocal-group of Old North End wine & cheese crowd who definitely do not want a hockey arena in their back yard. The architecture firm hired by CC is JLG Architects and is based out of North Dakota and one of their reps, Adam Davidson, flew in from Grand Forks to speak about the preliminary designs of the arena. I was very impressed with the proposed design and layout but the question/problem they still have not addressed is parking. No commitments to build a parking structure at or near the new arena.

I’m just glad we no longer hang participation banners anymore. CC has a whole slew of them hanging in World Arena and I think that when I go to the Robson Arena meeting tomorrow, I’m going to strongly suggest they not hang those in the new barn. We’re the butt of DU’s jokes for enough reasons, no reason to give them yet another reason to poke fun at our expense.

Air Force scored about 35 seconds into the game to take a 1-0 lead over Canisius College.

Well, the coaching staffs for Omaha and Miami actually shook hands after tonight’s game.
