Thursday afternoon links - crunch time!!!

I was thinking about the Fighting Sioux record against the SCSU Huskies which is 0-7-3 in their last ten Friday night games at the National Hockey Center, so according to the record books the UND Fighting Sioux haven’t won a game against the SCSU Huskies on Friday nights in National Hockey Center since the 1998 season. That is kind of unheard of based on how good UND has been since 1998.

So on the flip side of that equation, the Fighting Sioux have been an impressive and almost unbeatable 8-1-1 on Saturday Night in the National Hockey Center since the 1998 season. I believe that something has to give this weekend, Mike Lee has never won a game in two seasons against UND and he has been the better of the two SCSU goalies. SCSU senior goalie Dan Dunn has a 2-4-1 record, .887 save percentage and G.A.A. of 3.27. Sophomore goalie 10-10-3 record, .905 save percentage and a G.A.A. of 2.83

Sioux have dominated the SCSU Huskies

The Sioux have dominated the Huskies as of late, the Fighting Sioux have a 12-4-4 record in the last 20 games dating back to the 2006-2007 season. The Sioux have also won the last four games against the Huskies.

Sioux fans favorite hockey analyst Kevin Gorg was on KFAN during the yesterday talking hockey as well with the PA. Personally, I don’t mind Kevin Gorg because I like his take on the game on hockey. I can’t fault someone for being a homer or fan of their favorite team. [click to listen]
