Princeton over-rated, or is Clarkson really hitting their stride, or both?
UW @ UND remains scoreless after two now.

Only following live stats but my impression was UND was dominating. All UND shots and Rigsby saves per the play by play. Not much O from UW.Only because the Whioux keep rolling pucks through the crease without hitting the net. Wisconsin is very fortunate that it's tied, because they're getting dominated.

Seen both play and suspect the latter is the more plausible reason.
Clarkson started strong, then hit a but of a rut, but have been dominant lately, scoring at will and keeping things tighter at the back. Tomorrow will be an interesting test for them vs a Quinnipiac team that I was very impressed with when I saw them play a few weeks back.
Don't think Princeton is overrated. They are better than last year. Having said that, this is their second lopsided loss of the year, the other was vs Harvard, but they have some impressive results as well. IMHO they will end up being a solid top half ECAC team.
Believe Team USA beat the Taft boys' team 2-1 in OT
EDIT: Yup, Duggan with the winner. Wish I had known about this ahead of time or I might have gone.
I was there for the Clarkson-Princeton game. Was absolutely no contest from the start. Princeton could generate little offense. Erica Howe's shutout had to be one of her easiest in her career. Clarkson's #1 line of Rattray-Gagnno-Styner were all over the ice and Princeton had no answer to their play. I was expecting a much closer game (Last year Clarkson won 2-1 in OT and Princeton gave them all types of issues with their speed).
HUGGGGGGGGGEEEEEE game today at the TD Bank Center with Clarkson-Quinnipiac. Wish I could be there. To me this game is a tossup and will probably end up 2-1 or 3-2 or could be a tie 1-1 or 2-2. I do not see either team getting anywhere near 7 goals.

Wisconsin takes 2 points with the shoot-out win. Yeah, North Dakota controlled large chunks of time, but Rigsby was up to the challenge. Turnbull scored the only goal on the last attempt of the game on a very nice move that beat Amsley-Benzie five-hole. Little surprised that North Dakota didn't pull a bigger crowd considering the opponent and coming off the win against Minnesota.
