Analysis
It would be an understatement if you said last night was a wild and crazy night in college hockey. There were seven games that went to over time. The UMD Bulldogs finally proved it was human as the Bulldogs lost a game in over time to DU Pioneers. The UNO Mavericks came back to earth as they lost to BSU Beaver 3-0. Miami University was beaten by the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and finally, it looks like the goalies had a rough night as B.C. Eagles beat the BU Terriers 9-5.
Minnesota 2 at Minnesota State 3 – I don’t know what to make out of the Gophers this season, one weekend they are beating the Wolverines of Michigan the next week they are losing to the Mavericks. Apparently a snow storm in Mankato really had no bearing on attendance as 4000+ showed up to watch the Mavericks beat the Gophers. Maverick forward Adam Mueller scored the game winning goal at the 6;29 mark of the Second period as the Mavericks held on to beat the Gophers . [Puckato] and [Goal Gophers]
Nebraska-Omaha 0 at Bemidji State 3 – Do you see a pattern developing here? Dan Bakala shutout the UNO Mavericks 3-0, the Beavers also won two games in a row by shutout (3-0 X2). The BSU Beavers have won 4 games on the season and three of them have been by shutout. This was the first time all season that the Mavericks had been shutout. You can also bet that the BSU Beavers had better be ready for UNO Maverick’s best effort tonight because if we know Maverick coach Dean Blais today’s pre game skate will not be pretty and he will have his team ready for the rematch.

Denver 5 at Minnesota Duluth 4 OT – If last night proved anything, it proved that the UMD Bulldogs who had been sub human in overtime going an impressive 5-0-2 in extra hockey session. The DU Pioneers finally proved that the Bulldogs don’t wear an “S” on their chest or capes and that they are capable of losing in overtime. [RINK and RUN] and [Let's Go DU] and [Runnin with the Dogs]
Wisconsin 1 at Alaska Anchorage 2 – I am sure that a certain UAA fan blogger soiled himself as the UAA Seawolves senior forward Tommy Grant scored at the 19:51 mark of the third period to finally beat the Wisconsin Badgers in Anchorage, Alaska. It was the first time in 12 games (11-0-1) that the UAA Seawolves had beaten the Wisconsin Badgers. The Seawolves with the win last night are now currently holding sixth in the WCHA. With twelve teams in the league this season if the season ended today the Seawolves would host the C.C. Tigers. I know it’s early and let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

Colorado College 7 at Michigan Tech 3 – After starting out the season going 3-0-2 the MTU Huskies lost for the seventh game in a row. With the win the C.C. Tigers even their record to 7-7-1. Tiger’s freshman Jaden Scwartz continued his torrid pace as he add 4 assists on the night to bring his season stats total to (9g-13a-22pts). [Eye of the Tigers] and [Mining Gazette]
