UND's top defensemen played big minutes in the series opener.

Jake Livanavage played a team-high 25:28. Freshman E.J. Emery played 24:20. Abram Wiebe played 24:09. MacDonald was at 19:42.

Rookies Andrew Strathmann (12:16) and Jubenvill (6:39) were typically paired with older players by defenseman coach Dillon Simpson.

I don’t know about tonight

[Parkers Pros]

Is this game on any non-pay sites tonight?

[SiouxFan100]

Feeling good about tonight 

[bcblues]

Let's play hockey!

[bcblues]

Well, PK right outta the gate

[siouxfaninseattle]

Not the start we hoped for....

[brianvf]

Nice early kill.

[brianvf]

PP time

[bcblues]

That was a pretty good kill. Mankato never really got the cycle going.

Now a PP

[brianvf]

Under review for possible major against MSUM

[brianvf]

Monty getting minutes on D.

[Oxbow6]

Mavs 1-0

[SiouxFan100]

I don’t like this playing from behind stuff

[bcblues]

We can't slack off the first period against the likes of BU, or it could get ugly fast.

[willythekid]

I'm guessing that Hedquist would love to have that first goal back but give credit to that Eisele kid, it was a nhl quality wrister...

[bcblues]

0-1 after one.

[willythekid]

Boy, if you have that open of a shot you need to take it... Mankato's D is pretty tight.

[RedFrog]

Offensively the boys look MUCH better tonight.  Much more controlled with lots of puck possession. 

Hedquist will want that goal back for sure.  I think it caught him by surprise. 

Can obviously tell when our 3rd D pair is out there.

[nodakgirl93]

Mankato is doing a very good job winning the loose pucks around their goalie. Passing is off. Too many passes. Defense got worse as the period went on. 

[Username Taken]

Not a bad period. Much more net presence than last night. Hobie not ready and not square on the goal against. 

[Oldguy]

I thought the boys looked a little better at chipping and disrupting in the first tonight.  But...shoot the f'n puck when you are in the slot!!!  Than cutesy stuff at the end of the period led to no shot on goal and a chance the other way.

[TwamleyShuffle]

The stream is much better tonight

...except that lame music just keeps repeating and repeating...

[scpa0305]

Another frustrating start. We def dont look like a very offensive team. Something looks off. Not a ton of flow. Passing is bad.
