Devils visit Hawks - ASU @ UND

[jk]

Had a fun time in attendance tonight.  Not even remotely the goalie's fault.  ASU has some slick offensive players and they made the most of their very few chances.  

4 and 18 were on the ice for both those second period goals.  18 is almost unbelievably gifted offensively for a person his size and age, but defensive coverage is not currently a specialty.

Not down at all about the squad, as they had a lot of jump and were clearly the better team.  Sometimes the other team (which, you know, has good players too, and they're trying too) has momentum and you have to weather those times.  That was the downfall tonight.  But this UND team is good, and they carried the play.

Back to back nights end of second period lapses cost them.

Didn't see what the draws were but not having Rickwood hurt a bit there I imagine.  

You can't get in the habit of getting hot goalied.  First time we've seen it this year.  Lets just be above outshooting teams something terrible and losing.

Sioux probably deserved a little better fate tonight but ASU's goalie was on his head and the couple lapses in the second period really had the boys chasing the game in the third.  Thought they probably would get the tying goal after Strinden scored early in the third but it was not to be.  Not going to blame Homer on those goals he gave up in the second; they were bang bang plays where we had some bad giveaways.  He actually made a great save down the stretch to keep ASU's lead at one goal.  Pulling your goalie once UND got the power play with 2 plus minutes left isn't a bad play; Sioux just got caught a little flat footed in the zone and their guy came up with the puck.  Hate to lose a game where Sioux dominated for long stretches but it happens.  Still feeling pretty good about our start this season.
