UNO @ SCSU: Unleash the Murray! Dec 4 and 5

Re: UNO @ SCSU: Unleash the Murray! Dec 4 and 5

Tedesco Jackson and Newell had really good weekends. Charlie did ok, was screened on the one just inside the pipe but the last juicy rebound was the dagger.

I know it made it 4-1, but I was surprised he was pulled that early. Maybe Motzko was looking out for his confidence? Is there any word on Peterson's injury or when he is expected to return?

Hard to see a scenario where we don't make the NCAA tourney at this point. Laugh if you want, but, I see it as pretty much a done deal, now, barring an utter and complete collapse. Splitsville the rest of the way, and, we're in, in all likelihood.

It is wayyyy too early for that. We don't even know the extent of Guentzel's injury let alone how Weninger will play during conference play. There are a boatload of good teams yet to play.

PS I thought for sure I would see 5 paragraphs about how Thompson lost the game last night. He does need to work on his shot.
I'll be surprised if Blais is still coach this spring.

Wait for it....

This was a monstrous series for UNO despite throwing away the game last night by playing Thompson in goal.

UNO now 3rd in Pairwise. They will be in that ballpark on 1-1-16, too.

UNO now sweeps ASU weekend after next at home (If Weninger starts both games they don't even score against us except but I think Deano is going to try and get Blankenburg some ice time) and wins it's exhibition game (at home) on January 2nd and awaits DU the weekend after that at Baxter Arena. Life in the Pairiwise realm is good, right now. Hard to see a scenario where we don't make the NCAA tourney at this point. Laugh if you want, but, I see it as pretty much a done deal, now, barring an utter and complete collapse. Splitsville the rest of the way, and, we're in, in all likelihood.

I didn't say it was a win. I was just reiterating the "point getting" games by UNO at the National Hockey Center.

A tie from 5 years ago is pretty important to remember. I'll never forget.

A tie is not a win in college hockey. Just sayin' He was probably referring to the NCHC.

Looked like we really missed Judd down the middle, Storm just isn't up to that level yet. Papa and Kuster should also add more depth and speed.

That's UNO's first ever win in St. Cloud.

No, it's not.

UNO 3, SCSU 0 on 11-12-10.

UNO 6, SCSU 5 on 12-7-12.

There was also a 4-4 tie on 11-13-10.

As a member of the NCHC, they won two games at the concrete center while in the WCHA

I wore my ugly rally sweater but I think it is defective. We looked pretty good the last two minutes passing and not shooting, we have it down pat now.
I think we had them on the ropes. I am not sure why Blais didn't pull Weninger BTW I CAN NOT BELIEVE he gave up two goals tonight. Both were pretty soft too.
He could have easily pulled him with 2 minutes left and safely won.

Oh well, we'll get them next time. At least I got 4 free tickets to the CC game. Weninger is a god in my book. The team that blocked everything down the middle and kept everything to the perimeter needs to know they don't know how to play on Olympic ice. Just give it up.

PS I thought for sure I would see 5 paragraphs about how Thompson lost the game last night. He does need to work on his shot.
I'll be surprised if Blais is still coach this spring.

Maybe he'll give us a couple tips on PK before he retires. Especially on the last one where all four of our players left the middle and parted the Red Sea for the Omaha player flying down the slot. If it was Lindgren instead of Reijola it would have been an easy save.

No matter how this ends up, the most goals UNO has scored since hanging 8 on SCSU on 2-1-14 and that was in the friendly confines.

Re: UNO @ SCSU: Unleash the Murray! Dec 4 and 5

This was all we needed out of this series.

Points.

Too bad our head coach didn't see fit to play our our #1 goalie last night, for reasons unknown.

So much for SCSU's power play dominance and UNO's dismal power play.
