Ironically, they are #7 nationally as well as being #7 in the WCHA. They must be doing all of their "gooning" in nonconference games.I just noticed that the Dogs are 2nd from last in Penalty minutes this season . . . have they EVER been this close to last before??
I guess this year's group of Canadians adjusted quickly. Every year I look forward to watching the 1st year players adjust to NCAA Div I hockey. The Canadians need to learn how NOT to smash everything in sight, the Swedes and the Finns need to learn HOW to.
I don't think Thibault and Cournoyer are strong (or big) enough to knock down players like Hailey Irwin and Holmlov are Larocque already has 4 for 8 minutes since returning.
Sorry to hear that some of the Beavers are intimidated by her, if what you say is correct. In more seriousness, she seems to do better against the Gophs when she sticks to playing hockey. In the series in Duluth last year, she didn't have a point but made several trip to the bin. In the rematch down here she stayed out of the box, and both she and her team fared better.Hailey just looks at some people and they fall over!! Or, they fall over to get out of her way . . . (Especially some of the rodents!!)
Gotta laugh . . . Hailey just looks at some people and they fall over!! Or, they fall over to get out of her way . . . (Especially some of the rodents!!)
