DU "Wins" 3-3 Tie with Mankato

The Good, The Bad & The Ugly...

When is a tie NOT like kissing your sister? When you are outplayed on the road, never have the lead in the game, fall behind on three seperate occasions, and score the tying goal on the Power Play with less than two minutes remaining. Nice effort on a night when it wasn't going DU's way.


The Good
Ryan Dingle "The Franchise"
The Power Play - 3 goals
The "Stats" Line
DU's Penalty Kill (Nice improvement) - No Goals
Matt Carle - Another Goal
Adrian Veideman turning into Brent Skinner on the PP (2 assists)
If DU win tomorrow 3 pts would be HUGE this weekend
Dingle's Clutch Goal with two minutes to go in 3rd Period
Trailing three times and coming back each time
Holding Mankato to ZERO shots in OT, including 1 min. of shorthanded
CO14ers never gives up on DU even down 3-2 with the clock ticking

The Bad
Offensive Balance
Clearing the the zone
If we tie tomorrow 2 pts. would be OK on the Road
Not winning the third period
Puck Swami's poor attitude

The Ugly
Outscored by Mankato 3-0 at even strength
Mankato's 1st Goal
The whole 1st Period
If we lose tomorrow, 1 pt. would be horrid
Mannino "Bandwagon" Saves selling his season tickets if DU had lost
