North Dakota Pregame 1/23

[Jim Hyla]

A couple of recent articles in the IJ about their problem with the Sioux nickname. Cornell Foe Has Nickname Problem and Decision on Nickname delayed. And another article about Scrivens mask from The Post Standard. Here's hoping we play better tonight.

Score updates would be most welcome; daughter is playing the flute, which believe it or not takes precedence over listening to the game.

1-0 NoDak (Malone) after 1

[Robb]

1-0 Sioux after 1.  They scored 5x5 about 1:33 into the game, and it's been tilted in their favor the whole period.  We had 2 PPs, but never really got anything going.  Sioux's aggressive kill gave us fits.

Sioux finishes the period on PP, about 1:30 of PP time left to start the 2nd.

ND 1 Cornell 0 End of the first.

Cornell 29 Columbia 16 6:00

2nd underway.  Cornell going to the PP about 7 mins into period.

[Robb]

And back to the PP we go.  Toews's second penalty in a row.

Um.  Never mind.  Gallagher takes a dumb interference to negate the PP right away.  4x4.

[Robb]

back to full strength momentarily, then we can't count.  PP Sioux.

[Robb]

Something in the water.  Sioux can't count to negate the PP.  We'll get about 1 min PP after the 4x4 expires.

[Robb]

UND takes a penalty with 7 sec left in 2nd period, period expires.  Still 1-0 after 2.

[Oat]

Our PP is absolutely awful...  And UND is the fourth most penalized team in the nation...

[Robb]

UND really presses "hahd" on the kill, according to interview with Devin.

It looks putrid.  NoDak is doing a great job of extending the box and pressuring the puck holder.  Our guys have no time.

[philmaywalt]

short-handed coming up again.  This has been the only time we have looked good.
