Sioux/Denver

Recommended Posts

Based on the USCHO recap, it sounds like Berkhoel had one heck of a game against Ohio-Miami. Let's hope that he used up a lot of those great saves against them.

Denver thinks the big ice will work to their advantage.

The Olympic-sized ice rink played to Denver's advantage.

"We've had a lot of success on the big ice this year. There are not too many teams that can keep up with us here," Caldwell said.

USCHO also noted this:

Big Time

Of the four teams in the West Region, Denver has the most luck on Olympic-sized rinks. The Pioneers are 6-2-2 this season on 200x100 sheets, while Miami, North Dakota and Holy Cross combined for a 7-8-2 record.

Berkhoel vs. Jordan Parise might seem like an advantage for Denver, but nobody should forget what happened the last time these two goalies dueled.

UND's record is 4-3-1 on Olympic-sized ice. Did the two losses to Wisconsin and one loss to Minnesota have much to do with the big ice? Two of the three losses were by one goal, so I don't think so. We'll find out tonight if the combination of Olympic ice and high altitude are tough on the Sioux.

Finally, the dead atmosphere of last night will probably be replaced with a home game atmosphere for DU. The Sioux will have to play with a lot more enthusiasm and desire than they did last night.

Say what you want think what you want but tonight's game is going to be both good & tough. Also i would also like to stress if the "FIGHTIN SIOUX" play like they did against Holy Cross then we're going to be in for a long night & lord helps us all. So "GO SIOUX & LET'S TAKE THIS ONE & GO ON THE ROAD TO BOSTON & TAKE BOSTON TOO.

SIOUX FAN SINCE 1973 :lol:

Interesting goalie stats.

In three starts against Denver, Jordan Parise has allowed 4 goals (1.33 GAA) on 84 shots (.953 save percentage) and is 2-0-1.

In three starts against UND, Adam Berkhoel has allowed 12 goals (4.00 GAA) on 75 shots (.840 save percentage) and is 0-2-1.

Of course, everyone knows that Berkhoel is the superior goalie. :lol:
