UNDER REVIEW talks about the good and the bad from last nights game.
Sioux Yeah Yeah! Calls the win Huge. I agree that it was a big time win.
According to Brad Elliott Schlossman the Sioux are really beat up on the blue line.
This is the WCHA on the win last night.
North Dakota 3, Colorado College 1
The Fighting Sioux got three goals from three different players as they defeated Colorado College 3-1 in Colorado Springs. Darcy Zajac scored the game's first goal 10minutes in and UND led 1-0 after one. The Sioux extended their lead to 3-0 after two on goals by Brent Davidson and Brett Hextall. Bill Sweatt broke up the shutout with CC's only goal with under two minutes to play. Brad Eidsness made 29 saves in the win for North Dakota. Richard Bachman stopped 26 shots for CC.
Orwick's Huge Win in the Mountains.
Uncaged on their first loss of the season. The Tigers are having trouble scoring goals this season. With the players they have returned and with the new rules you think the Tigers would thrive under that system.
Eye of the Tigers described UND's goals as "dirty". Dirty Goals win games in my opinion. Nice to see the Sioux with some grit.
Here is what Adam Wodon from College Hockey News has to say on the UND win last night.
Here is what SabresProspects.com had to say on two of UND's players.
In NCAA play, Brad Eidsness made 29 saves as visiting North Dakota defeated #1 Colorado College, 3-1. Eidsness, who moved to 3-2 on the year, made many great saves to earn the W and should be back between the pipes when the two clubs play it back on Saturday. Freshman defenseman Corey Fienhage did not travel with the club for the weekend set.
Hey Goon. It's still early, but I honestly think this is the beginning of a really nice run for Eidsness in the Sioux nets.
ReplyDeleteThere's always work to do, but with a good head on his shoulders and a commitment to getting better, you have to like his chances.
It was good to see him in the World Jr.A Challenge last year. I often wonder where hit sits among Hockey Canada's goalies in that 18-20 bracket. We know about Allen, Sexsmith, Pickard, etc., but I'd hope that he is/was at least a blip on the radar.
Yeah, Chris I really excited and like what I have seen from Brad Eidsness so far.
ReplyDeleteI would hope that Brad would get as many starts as possible this season to prove that he is going to be the go to goalie for three more seasons.
I have been hoping he is going to be sitting on the bench behind a little used senior goalie that is more or less a third stringer. So far this has not happened.
I like your blog it is a good source for up and coming Sabres.
