    While Saunders' performance was quite amazing, getting a win while being outshot 58 - 17 is a story that's more embarrassing than anything i.m.h.o.

      SOG is the single most over-rated stat in the history of sports. I remember UNO chirping about out-shooting Quinnipiac 112-62 yet getting swept the weekend before BSU went down there and took 3 pts., and all I could think about was how UNO's shots when they came up here were all from the outside and not very threatening at all. The old, UNO out-shot BSU, but BSU out-chanced them. I mean, we even talked about it at length on College Hockey Tonight, where a coach can preach that any shot on goal is a good shot on goal (and there is some truth to this), but if almost every sog comes from the blue line or the corner, how much does that help? Just something I've noticed about UNO...

        RBI and wins for a pitcher are overrated. SOG does need a lot of context.

          To continue this tangent for a moment, baseball has at least about a dozen other major statistical metrics that can help one judge players/teams/games. In hockey, if someone can't actually watch a game and only looks at a box score (and can't even read a story or talk to those involved), they are left to assume that SOG is a good measure of which team outplayed the other when that isn't close to true. That's why, IMHO, SOG is far worse than the stats you provide for baseball where the same (just looking at boxscores) is true...

            There's plenty of work on better hockey metrics, but that's newer and less-recognized.

              Here's a local Forest City, IA article on Doug Ross... complete with his new home address!?!
              http://www.albertleatribune.com/2011...the-new-coach/

              And about UAH Hockey coverage this year... virtually non-existant. Apparently The Times takes the approach of win or we'll ignore you... They weren't even listed as playing in the what's going on this weekend section of sports a couple times this year for HOME GAMES!!! The BBall team is winning so is getting ALL the coverage. Completely disgusting...

                  And Waldorf is in Forest City, Iowa, while they are going to play their games in Albert Lea, MN. That is 35 miles one way. I know at UAH you don't have an on campus rink, but this is a hike.

                  Mason City, which used to host the North Iowa Huskies (USHL) and then the North Iowa Outlaws (NAHL) is also 35 miles away. I guess they will be traveling for home games and practice.

                    That's not quite as bad as Mississippi State's club team playing and practicing in Decatur, AL, but it's close.

                          I was checking to see if the game brought his save percentage above .900 (no, it's .898) when I noticed that EMPTY NET has played in 16 games.

                            Nice CHA jacket, although you'd think they'd hook him up with some Waldorf stuff.

                                UAH is raising all the banners for 2009-10 and 2010 fall sports tonight at the basketball games at Spragins. This means they'll hang banners for the 2010 CHA win and making the 2010 NCAAs. Saw a number of players at Saturday night's games as, for once, they weren't on the road.
