...and we're off!

2nd Period Summary
I guess I'm not really sure what to think. I'd still say MSU looked better than UMD that period, but for about a 10 minute stretch in the middle of that period, the Mavericks were absolutely lost. They were outworked, outplayed, outscored and outshot. They rebounded, if only a little bit, and by the end of the period, MSU and UMD were on the same mediocre level...

MSU out shot the Bulldogs for the period 11-8, and are ahead for the game 21-13.

They just added an assist on the Hanson goal to Kilburg, meaning he has now equaled his entire point total from last season in just 10 games and two periods. We'll see if Hanson's goal can kickstart this team's offense as many thought it would. After his goal, the Mavs didn't have many quality chances, but had a stellar power-play towards the end of the period. The puck hardly got out of their end, but Duluth did a great job of shutting down shooting lanes.

Here is the scoring summary so far:
1st Period Scoring
MSU - 5:43 -- Davis (Galiardi, Kilburg) (1-0 MSU)

2nd Period Scoring
MSU - :28 -- Hanson (Bruess, Kilburg) (2-0 MSU)
UMD - 8:23 -- Carroll (Fontaine, Fulton) (2-1 MSU)
UMD - 9:29 -- Garrison (Schmidt) (2-2)

3rd Period Scoring
None

Overtime
None

MORE TO COME...
