A clarification on the posting from a couple of days ago in  the WCHA championship game between North Dakota  and St. Cloud State:  I was trying to summarize a very high scoring, back and forth game into a sentence, and I probably should have done so the way I did with the BC-Maine championship game in Hockey East, and just reported that a ton of goals were scored, and who won the game.  This game between North Dakota and St. Cloud was really amazing, so I’ll add a bit more detail and clarify now.

My note sort  of started  commenting in the second, when North Dakota scored two, actually the fourth straight unanswered goal, and went up 4-2.  My note also went on to say the St. Cloud fought back (they scored  a goal in the second  to make it close, 4-3),  but North Dakota took control in the  third and scored again, making it 5-3 for the final score.  What I did not metnion was that St. Cloud took an extremely early lead in the game, scoring two goals in the first fifty-five seconds!  You don’t see that one every day.  North Dakota scored five minutes later on a power play goal, and then scored three additional unanswered goals to take a 4-2 lead in the second.  What a game!  Eight goals, four in the first period alone!

That’s it for now.  Stay tuned, and go Terriers!
