Second ND Game Thread

Figured I'd try and keep it going.

Remember this game is 6pm CT. That's 7pm EST for those that need help with time zones. You know who you are.::bolt::

Yeah, you are now doing this the rest of the year.  ::banana::

So, what's the over/under on who starts in goal for game 2?

[Iceberg]

Should be Shane again. He actually played well tonight and was a big reason North Dakota didn't score more goals

[upprdeck]

he played well enough. the first goal was a snipe.. another was weak D letting the kid come in thru half the team and he was surprised

Gladly if it means we never lose again. I'll even start the games I'm going to.

NDak split with Q, our only common opponent...so does that mean that a win tonight and a split with Q (or a tie tonight and a winning record against Q) means that our pairwise comparison with NDak goes in our favor?

On the first goal, he got hung out to dry due to a poorly timed substitution of the back two during the 4 on 4. He looked surprised, as you suggest, on the second goal. It was the third that was the snipe.

All I can say about Shane is he played better than the NoDak goalie last night.

He did seem to follow the puck well, and not freak out.  There were a few cases where I thought he was out of position.  But I know nothing.

When he is on his game I think Howe is the best of the three, but he has been ill or injured and not looked great lately.

The NoDak forum is all over their goalie.  Apparently he is a 5th year senior transfer with great numbers at Bemidji last year, but has one of the lowest save percentages in the nation this year.

They feel if he plays again tonight, the coaches must have zero faith in their backups.

[Trotsky]

NoDak starting a different goalie tonight.

My intuition is we are going to get beaten pretty badly tonight, say 4-1 or 5-2.  But even if so, a great trip to NoDak.

One shift at a time, lads.

[Iceberg]

No Schafer behind the bench tonight

[Trotsky]

Props to the Twin Line all weekend.  Cornell playing with great confidence after that first 5 minute spurt by the greenies.

[Trotsky]

Stay outta the box.

[Trotsky]

I think that was deliberate, I would like to see head hunting, 5 + GM.
