St. Cloud @ UND

[fightingsioux4life]

St. Cloud comes to Grand Forks for a key NCHC series. The Huskies are still in the mix for NCHC first round home ice, while the Fighting Hawks have a chance to clinch no worse than a share of the Penrose Cup with two regulation victories.

St. Cloud can score goals, but can also give up goals. If UND can play solid team defense and stay out of the box, I see two regulation wins and a share of the Penrose Cup for the home team.

What happened to Adam Ingram? I remember him being a highly coveted recruit. Seems that he has really regressed since his soph season.

Sweep the leg.  Playing for the league regular season championship.  Mbereko will get CC at least one point against Western right? Right?

How fun would it be to see Livanavage (#4), skate the cup in front of the Lawson lunatics though?  If you don't know what im talking about you haven't been paying attention.

Unger has been the better goalie. Mbereko should be done for the year let Unger finish the season.

Anything less than a sweep next weekend unacceptable.

Haven't seen CC play much other than against us.  Going on last weekend's results and Mbereko making 38 saves in a 4-1 win at Stearns County Concrete and Hockey facility I'm guessing he's going to be the guy against Western, at least on Friday night.

Gotta get Unger his reps but at this stretch I’d be going with the more experienced Mbereko. I’m wondering if Mbereko has been dealing with a nagging injury the last few weeks as well. He left that Saturday UND game rather abruptly midway through the third period and I didn’t have the impression it was due to poor play. Unger gave up 6 goals on Friday at St. Cloud but man, his teammates certainly didn’t give him much help. They looked much better defensively on Saturday.

Pretty decent drop off in points after their first three of Gross, Burnevik, and Hall.
Gross has really exploded this year after two good seasons at SCSU.  Wouldn't be surprised to see him sign as a free agent after the season, strike while the iron is hot.
Burnevik has the really good shot.  I remember Thoreson is their punk...he'll be the one agitating and trying to draw penalties.

Hopefully the boys can take care of business.
