Thanks for starting a new thread Saints#1.
Here is last night's recap from the Grand Forks Herald: http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/article/id/279260/
It's sometimes interesting to get another team's view on a game.
Well, I figured I would start my first ever thread (at least I can't remember ever starting one before). Anywho, Can Carey and company carry us to Lake Placid and possibly even beyond? Let the discussions begin![]()
What matters most as far as getting to Lake Placid will rest on whether the D, the PK and goaltending that showed up last night will be what we see for the rest of the year or whether it will be the D, PK and goaltending that showed up at RIT last Saturday.
FWIW, I think the Careys are going to do what the Careys are going to do. What matters most as far as getting to Lake Placid will rest on whether the D, the PK and goaltending thaf showed up last night will be what we see for the rest of the year or whether it will be the D, PK and goaltending that showed up at RIT last Saturday. If it's the former, we'll be in Placid and maybe beyond. If its the the latter version, maybe not. Right now, We're getting offense from everywhere, not just the Carey's. Wick is playing huge. I think Justin Baker is # 1 or 2 in the nation in scoring by D-men. Bayreuther is #1 or #2 among Freshmen D-men nationally. Doherty's line is scoring. (Doherty came really close with a nifty move last night). The third and fourth line freshmen are popping 'em in.
Everyone expects UND to come out flying tonight. I'm not so sure. What struck me watching the game and the post-game interviews was how completely shaken and beaten down their coach and captain looked and sounded. The Souix are rocking a lot of injuries. I like our chances again tonight.
Ok, can someone please tell me how UND's 2nd goal counted? I watched the UND broadcast and it appeared to show the puck hit the cross bar and never went into the net. The UND announcer even said the folks in the truck said it hit the pipe. How did the refs review that and call it a no goal on the ice and then call it a goal? I've seen a lot of things in college hockey, but that one takes the cake.
Boy was the officiating **** poor.

I just could not tell on that reviewed goal. At first I thought it was definitely in but then not. It was definitely not definitive. It was telling that the guys in the UND TV truck, who had better access to the replays than anyone, thought it was a no goal. I dont know if the officiating was poor or just tight. They did throw Tambeliini out early in the game for trying to take out Carey-- so it was not completely one-sided.
The better news, even though we "only" end up with a split, was that the team looked like it was firing on all cylinders. Wenninger looked really good. He was completely screened on the third goal. Good thing the D got it together because we really need at least a split with Clarkson.
Also worth noting that Justin Baker and Jeremy Wick played absolutely huge in both games. Patrick Doherty showed some incredible moves close in and his line coukd have easily had two to three more goals.
Also, Greg Carey did a really nice job with his between period interview. Good Hobey stuff. That and the UND announcers could not shut up about him. What I loved more than anything was the respect and the fear the UND announcers developed as the weekend wore on. No "EZAC" commentary likely to come out of Grand Forks anytime soon.
Does anyine know if this set is recipricol? Will UND be coming to Appleton? With the reallignment, they ought to. Got 6, any clue on that?
You're very welcome!It is definitely interesting to hear how the opposing teams felt about the game. I find it odd that hardly any credit was given to St. Lawrence, who played a great game. Everything was about UND and how awful they played. Oh well, such is life, we will just have to keep at it tonight. After the article it's not looking like tonight will be easy. I expect UND to come out and take it to us, hopefully we play well enough to keep it interesting.
The UND Audio guys said (after the review) that the puck apparently hit the center of the net and came out quickly. Whatever, I hope they got it right. Speaking of right, we played great out there and really dominated UND in the 3rd last night. Just need to carry that momentum over and finish this road trip over-.500.
I just get a sixth sense that this split at UND is going to be the springboard that propels the Saints on to great things this season and beyond. I hope it starts at Cheel.
. That's funny about Brett Hull. Their video guys said Carey's release was like Joe Sakik - which seems more apt to me.One of the UND Audio guys last night commented that G. Carey's release reminded him of Brett Hull's. As for UND coming to Appleton, I doubt that it will happen because 10,500+ fans per game as opposed to 2,000+fans per game means much more $$$$. And, yes, the EZAC chatter has been rather quiet of late - silence is golden.
I don't know if this link will take you there. But once you get on the UND webpage for their athletics/hockey page, you can see the replays. I have to say the UND recaps and hi lights are among the best I have seen. Not only do you get to see it in great quality but they have replays and often add in slow motion. Great stuff and they do a wonderful job with it. I watched the replay several times and it is really, really, hard to tell if the puck hit the back of the net, or, the crossbar. The announcers do allude to the guys in the truck saying it was the crossbar.
None the less....it was what is was and time to move on. The highlights did show the boys put on a good effort in the third with Doherty having the best chance near the end.
Back to conference play and thanks to UND for great coverage.
