Re: UMD 2010-11 Season
Agreed . . . it will be curious to see. Hopefully the team rallies. I think UMD still has better all-around talent and should be the favorites to win. I think this kind of adversity is good and only pays off at the END of the season. I know it's kind of morbid, but I was hoping someone would post a picture of Tara's eye!
That was a very scary few minutes.

The Bulldogs are pretty stacked for talent. I think they'll be just fine without Irwin and Larocque in Bemidji.

Re: UMD 2010-11 Season
Binny, Joe- I'm pretty sure it's just the Canucks. The team will have the following weekend off during the 4-Nations cup itself. I think they'll be fine too. Look at what they pulled off last year! Sounds like some of the younger players are being expected to step it up, regardless. Does anyone know if the American's have a gathering before the cup? Wondering about Wisconsin vs. Minnesota without Knight and Duggan. Wisconsin is so dominate but those two are clearly fantastic for the team.
I tell you though- The Swedish Sensation of Wingberg and Holmlov looked GREAT this weekend. And Audrey Cournoyer keeps firing away. Add some Wong & Willy in there and we'll be golden. As long as Tomcikova isn't super amazing (again), they'll get the puck in the net.

All I can find is Bemidji's audio feed at http://beaverradionetwork.com/teams/womens_hockey.php B2TV isn't covering another Bulldogs game until the Ohio State series.

It's still hard to believe Winberg's only a NCAA Sophomore.. she dominated one of the UConn games, putting 10 shots on net but not getting one past the goaltender.. and she's always got the puck.... I think she's the new Tuominen of this team as far as that goes.

Re: UMD 2010-11 Season
I visited with Maria R and Laura S at UMD Monday pm. Laura showed me some pics of Tara Gray's injury. When she slid into the the boards, she hit head first and the lower right side of her helmet was shoved up. It gave her lips and right eye bad bruises. Her right eye was area was swollen shut. Also strained neck and shoulder muscles. Also suspected a concussion and undergoing tests. Kevin Pates posted an update in his DNT blog today. Tara is out indefinitely!

I forgot to mention that she also got a bad cut across the bridge of her nose from the face guard.

The Canadian roster for 4 Nations lists her current team as Montreal in the CWHL.

John Gilbert posts another nice story on the WCHA website with interviews with the Bulldogs top line of Irwin, Holmlov and Winberg: Irwin, 'Olympic Line' Spark UMD's Strong Start

John Gilbert has always been a great writer (and 'hockey guy') dating back to his days with the Minneapolis Tribune when he covered the old North Stars and Gopher mens' team.

Re: UMD 2010-11 Season
Gilbert frequently covers the lady 'dogs in his weekly column in "The Reader." I would urge those in the Duluth area to look for the free paper. A couple of weeks ago he declared that it was time for area hockey fans to "grow up" and embrace the high quality game that is D1 Womens hockey. I agree.

Re: UMD 2010-11 Season
I really liked Gilbert's article since he supports my belief that Haley Irwin is one of the best (if not THE best) player in D-1 this season!!! (Gopher fans will simply love his comparison to Krissy . . .)
Plus it's just nice to read about WCHA teams . . . it would sure be nice if USCHO did a bit more coverage of the best conference in the women's game.

Maybe it is just perspective, but it seems that 70% of the USCHO articles are about WCHA, 20% about ECAC and 10% about UNH and BU!

I would kind of a great with that. Though I would probably streak through ECAC in the above quote and replace it with Harvard.

Re: UMD 2010-11 Season
Anybody head over for the Bemidji Series? I'm guessing not since we were all picking our new seats for Amsoil on Sat morning. I only listened on the radio.
Definite kudos to BSU for working hard and earning a win. With Gray, Irwin, and Laroque gone, it felt more like a leadership issue than missing skill. Yeah, Haley is a sniper but the girls did it without here (and Jocelyn for that matter) most of last year. And with so many girls taking a lot of shots, you have to tip your hat to Zuzana. She's a brick wall. Seems like she's got a good defense helping her out, too.
Gray is such a great leader, I think that was the biggest part missing for the game. Penalties like "too many on the ice" on Friday seems silly for this level of play. I hope she's healing well. With the 4 Nations break, that will give her a little extra time to get back to normal.
Thank god for the split and a big Wooo-hoo to freshman Gillanders for her first goal. That's gotta feel good!
