No question DU won the Friday game but what transpired Saturday is a joke.
What happened this weekend is going to fuel the fire when Denver makes the trip to Grand Forks.
The refs made a joke of what could have been a great game. UND came out buzzing and controlled the action for the entire 1st period. Then, the refs were sending UND players to the box for the rest of the game giving DU a power-play for what seemed the rest of the game. Some of the calls were waranted, but many were not..and there were a ton of missed calls on DU throughout the 2nd and 3rd periods. I have to give it to Gwoz, he has the refs in his pocket. He has a "chat" with the refs after the 1st period and suddenly his team is on the power-play for darn near the rest of the game. I hope the NCAA looks at this game and see's how poorly it was officiated!
I have always disliked Minnesota, but DU has become my most hated team and definitely my most hated fans...well, the few fans they have.

The trick on the power play isn't scoring the goal, its delivering a flat puck to the weak side player who has an good look at the net. They also open up the ice for everyone else.
Great defensemen are so rare in college hockey because most kids with excdeptional talent & skating ability play forward in youth hockey.Last edited by dggoddard; 11-22-2009, 09:34 AM.

I didn't get to see the games this weekend due to a sudden family obligation that forced me to travel back east.
I guess I need to go away more often.
While a four point sweep over Sioux is a rare and wonderful thing, it sure sounds as though the Pioneers benefitted from great goaltending by Chevy on Friday and some from unusual officiating on Saturday. I don't think I've ever heard of six penalty straight calls on one team -either UND didn't adjust to the tight officiating, or some of the calls had to be unwarranted, or a mixture of both.
Either way, 4 points is four points, but perhaps the second win feels a little more like a steal. I did see the you tube on the Sioux's waved off game tying goal, and I don't think there is much to complain about the call there.
UND is a different team with Genoway in the lineup, and I'm sure this adds more fire to the January games.
For the Pios, this series is likely to be a huge confidence boost as they get their key players back.

I still think you should stay there Todd. It really gives you a good feeling of the culture of that part of the world.

Originally posted by co14ers View PostHa. I hope you can get there. We should have a pretty good group of guys, some who've you've already met. Hopefully Dirty will be there to fund my drinking.

Originally posted by Old Pio View PostI'm not in a position to comment on the academic rigors faced by UND hockey players, but I can pass along this annecdote: Bill Fitch (who coached the Celtics to an NBA title and took the Rockets to the finals) coached at UND. And he told me his duties included teaching a class attended by the entire Sioux hockey team: ice skating! I'm guessing they did very well in that class. I'm sure academic hankey pankey of that sort is in the distant past.

If I'm there, you'll for sure have to fend off vicious attacks.
