This Weekend Match Up.

Lost Weekend.
Last weekend is over the Sioux were swept in Anchorage putting up a goose egg in two games in the win column, incidentally it was the second time they have been swept in a two game series this season. While I didn’t listen to Friday’s game (I went deer hunting Saturday and had to get up early) it was apparent that the Sioux had issues both in goal and took some untimely penalties at crucial times. Saturday I had the misfortune of both watching the game via the UAA Internet broad cast and I also listened to the broadcast on the radio. In my opinion the Sioux played well but failed to get much needed good goaltending but also failed to bury numerous opportunities in close when they had the chance. During last weekend’s games UND’s top forwards T. J. Oshie and Jonathon Toews seemed to be snake bitten and missed many glorious opportunities.

While some have and had a hard time scoring goals, but it’s time to move on and focus on the task at hand, get wins and gain momentum. The Sioux hockey team needs to score goals in bunches and keep the Tigers off the scoreboard. The game starts from the goaltenders out. The Defense must get in the shooting lanes and keep the front of the net clear so the goalie can see the puck, pick up the rebounds and cycle the puck.

Lammy to Play?

It appears that Lammy might be healthy enough to play in goal this weekend in the series against the Colorado College Tigers. Phil suffered an undisclosed lower leg injury in practice during the week of the Mankato series and has been on the shelf for the past 6 games. Tony Grieco has played in his abscence and had mixed results posting a 3-2-1 record with a .880 save percentage and a goals against average of 3.68.

Brad is reporting via his blog that Philippe Lamoureux should play in this weekend's series against the C.C. Tigers. http://www.areavoices.com/undhockey/

UND coach Dave Hakstol said Wednesday that he expects Philippe
Lamoureux to be available for this weekend's series against Colorado
College. Lamoureux has been bothered by a leg injury he suffered a month ago in practice. He's missed the last six games, which have all been started by freshman Anthony Grieco. Hakstol said he hasn't decided who will start this weekend.
