Analysis – The University of Omaha Nebraska lost it’s first game of the season against the Wolverines. Dean Blais’ team got the split, they had won only once in Ann Arbor before this weekend.
The UND Fighting Sioux swept in Maine by the Black Bears. To quote College Hockey news; the Sioux go back to Grand Forks humbled. Humbled yes, but there is a lot of season left. No mention of the disparity in the number of penalties called against the Sioux on the weekend, Maine Black Bears 19 Power Plays and UND Fighting Sioux 10, officials have been fired and or suspended in the WCHA for bravo sierra like this. Letter sent to Hockey East Commissioner, I doubt that I will get a response from him. Told him it was one of the most one sided officiating jobs I have ever seen in my years of watching college hockey, this one even topped the debacle in Denver last November. I am serious when I say that I think head hockey coach Dave Hakstol and the UND administration should think twice about going east again until the officiating is discussed with the Hockey East commissioner. Imagine if Maine had come to UND and gone through the same thing, seriously, it would be considered an incident.
The UMD Bulldogs swept the big slow lumbering team from Alaska Anchorage with a 6-0 shutout win on Saturday night. A nondescript no name goaltender (Aaron Crandall 2-0-0, .50 GAA and .977 SV%) gets the win and the shutout for the Bulldogs. Seems like some coaches can recruit legit goaltenders.
Colorado College and Minnesota State University Mankato (MSU-M sporting some ugly uniforms I might add) lost a tight checking game to the C.C., the game got ugly at the end as Rylan Schwartz was given a five minute major and a game disqualification for a dirty leg check on Chase Grant. Before someone jumps down my throat, yes I did watch the end of the game it was on channel 27 Midco Sports in Grand Forks, ND. Schwatz will sit out the next game the Tigers play for his efforts.
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish show that that Boston College Eagles are human as the Fighting Irish win 2-1 in South Bend on a goal from Calle Ridderwall.
