DU 4 - Air Force 2 If this was college football, DU's weekend victories would have been pretty impressive. Unfortunately, its college hockey so its hard to get fired up when DU has a combined 54-11-5 record against both programs. DU defenseman Zach Blom lead the Pioneers with a goal and an assist against Air Force. The 4-2 victory was a little disappointing because these types of games are a great opportunity to load up on hat tricks and pad the stats sheet. Credit Air Force for keeping it close, but seriously 4-2?

DU 6 - Notre Dame 3 The Notre Dame game was a different matter altogether. DU rolled to a 6-3 vistory led by Brock Trotter's two power play goals. DU's two Penalty Kill units also racked up two shorties. Ryan Dingle, Matt Carle, Gabe Gauthier & Paul Stastny-last seen winning the National Championship in Columbus and collecting preseason accolades from the various college hockey media outlets, collectively had a big game against the Irish. The victory was just what the doctor ordered to keep the DU bandwagon rolling for another week.

Looks like the previously MIA power play unit is starting to put the puck in the net with two goals and just in time for the reunion with our buddies from Grand Forks.
