Andy Bagott had a neat blog post today with a few tid bits in it that are worth reading. Big loss for the DU Pioneers, Colborne is a big talented forward that hopefully be playing in Boston next season.

Line men: The Bulldogs aren't real deep up front, but their unit of senior left winger Jordan Fulton, sophomore center Jack Connolly and junior right winger Justin Fontaine looks pretty lethal. They've combined for 50 shots on goal in four games, led by Fontaine with a WCHA-best 23. Connolly (4 goals, 5 assists, 9 points) and Fontaine (6-3-9) lead the league in scoring.

That will hurt: Denver will be without center Joe Colborne indefinitely after the sophomore suffered a broken finger against Ohio State, an injury that required surgery. Colborne was a first-round NHL draft pick of Boston in 2008.

Travel alert: Preseason title favorite Denver heads to Minnesota, where coach George Gwozdecky is 5-8-1 going head-to-head with Gophers counterpart Don Lucia. Meanwhile, Wisconsin plays at Minnesota State-Mankato, where the Badgers are 1-7-2 since Mike Eaves took over as coach in 2002.

Stat of the weekend: Minnesota center Jordan Schroeder, arguably the best all-around player in the WCHA, didn't register a shot on goal during a 4-0 loss to North Dakota. [Wisconsin Hockey Blog]

Sounds like Gopher goalie Alex Kangas won't be getting as many starts as he has in the past. Looks like Patterson will get a few more starts.

Outstanding for the Gophers was sophomore goalie Kent Patterson . Lucia said he had planned all along to split this series between Kangas and Patterson, and after making 31 saves Saturday night, that will likely continue.

“That’s kind of a week-by-week [decision], but obviously Kent, the way he played tonight, earned himself more playing time,” Lucia said. “That’s the way it should be, performance should dictate play.” [MN Daily]

There was some question where the UAA games being televised and where they would be shown. Brad clears it up with this [blog post].

The games will be carried live on all Fighting Sioux Sports Network cable systems, including Midcontinent Communications and all other independent FSSN affiliates. (This means all Midco stations will have the games).
