Game Notes:

Period 1: Couple of offsetting penalties early on.
Period 1: 3:07 MSU-B 1, Monroe CC 0 (Fluke goal) Mitch Jore; Asst: Tyler Wood
Period 1: Two more offsetting penalties
Period 1: 7-3 shots in favor of MSU-B
Period 1: 10:37 MSU-B 2, Monroe CC 0 Tyson Friesen, Asst: Eric Schultz, Brennen Holloway (Powerplay goal)

Kuntz (Monroe) and Didychuk (MSU-B) are both terrific as goalies in this game, but seem to have contrasting styles. Webcast announcers say Didychuk is real laid back and non-chalant while Kuntz is very animated and "all over the place." Both get the job done.

Lumberjacks Fall to Ile des Chenes 7-3 (2-22-08)

The MSU-B Lumberjacks know they are a bit overmatched by these last two regular season opponents, both AAA Senior Canadian teams because they are stronger, older and far more experienced. Some of the players have seen Division I College and Pro hockey experience. But the Jacks feel they can learn something from these veterans and improve their game by playing them in preparation for the NJCAA finals coming up in New York in just a week's time.

Then Bismarck scored a short-handed goal and two minutes later they were up 6-2.

Lumberjacks much more aggressive in period 2.

Shattuck St. Mary's 2, MSU-B 0 at the end of period 1.

There was no scoring in the third period. The first period was fast-paced and very aggressive by both teams, as was the second period until a fight broke out mid-way through the second period. The third period was calmer until the last couple of minutes when tempers once again dominated reason. Three MSU players were ejected from the game as was one Lumberjack. There were lots of penalties on both teams beginning mid-way through the second period and lasting the rest of the game.

Botno Braves JV Shut Out Crosby Comets (1-29-08)

The Bottineau Braves JV team had a field day Monday night as they defeated the Crosby Comets, 5-0, a team they had barely beaten in overtime earlier in January by a score of 5-4 (OT). The Braves raced to a 2-0 advantage in the first period, adding another goal in the second period and two more in the third.

In Crosby's defense, they had an arduous journey even getting to Bottineau Monday night as temperatures dropped, the wind blew harder and the snow accunulated in near-blizzard conditions. But, as one Crosby fan commented, "Hey, it's winter in North Dakota."

I didn't catch who achieved the goals for the Braves, but it was nicely spread out. Anderson recorded 30 saves for the comets while Aaron Wendel pushed aside 14 saves for the Braves.

JVs Slip By Crosby 5-4 in OT (1-08-08)

The Bottineau High School Braves JV team snuck by the Crosby Junior Gold team 5-4 in overtime Monday night in Crosby. The Crosby Comets knocked in an apparent goal with seconds to go in regulation, but after discussion between Crosby coaches and the referees, the goal was disallowed.

The Braves had a hard time finding the Crosby goal early in the overtime period and bounced one off the pipes before scoring in the sudden death overtime. Sorry--no report on who scored the goals or the time of the goals. Anyone want to help me out.

Unofficial reports had Michael Kornkven and Aaron Wendel each getting 14 saves as they shared goalie duties in their expected rotation.

Braves Lose Opener 10-2 (11-20-07)

The Bottineau High School Braves lost their season opening hockey game 10-2 to the Antler River (Deloraine and area schools) Devils Monday night. The Braves came out sluggish while the Devils seemed to be hitting on all cylinders.

The Devils took a 2-0 lead into the first period break and extended the lead to 5-0 midway through the 2nd period before Joe Handeland scored a goal on an assist by Trenton Metcalfe with 6:43 left in the period.

That closed out scoring in the second period. Antler River built their lead to 10-1 before Bottineau scored again with only 1:55 remaining in the game. This time Metcalfe scored the goal with Handeland getting the assist.

Both Bottineau goals were short-handed.

Lumberjacks Drop Second Game (11-18-07)

The MSU-Bottineau Lumberjacks lost to the Shattuck-St. Mary's team for the second night in a row and by nearly identical score. Saturday night the Jacks lost 7-2. Friday night's score was 7-3. The Jacks drop to 4-2 and look forward to playing the Minnesota Flying Aces Tuesday, Nov. 20 at Jamestown. Faceoff is at 7:00 pm.

Braves Tested at W. Region Scrimmage (11-18-07)

The Bottineau High School Braves traveled to Hazen Saturday to meet Williston and Dickinson in pre-season scrimmage action. Because it was a scrimmage no scores were kept in the two twenty-minute-period games. But if scores had been kept Bottineau would have dropped the Williston game by something like 4-2 or 5-1 and lost to Dickinson 5-0. (Parents have a hard time agreeing on these things.) Not too much should be made of scrimmage efforts, however as coaches are trying out younger players and mixing things up a bit to find out what works and what doesn't. All-in-all it was a good workout for the Braves and they came away with positive feelings.
