With a national tv audience and a packed house I'm not sure how this could have started any worse. Duluth gets two goals before the game is three minutes old then Josh Archibald is called for a 5 minute major for checking from behind and given a game misconduct.
Faulkner's first goal could have been prevented. A giant rebound came out to the slot and Brown put it easily into an open net. His second was a pretty good move from DeLisle to beat Faulkner high on the stick side.
Still unsure about how serious Archibald's hit was. The ref that made the call was the one furthest away. On the five minute major UNO finally caught a break and had the final rush end in a shot that caromed off the goalpost with an empty net.
The Mavs really only had one serious scoring chance and Montpetit ruined the only power play chance when he got called for obstruction 39 seconds into UNO's power play. Unsure if maybe the crowd and the sellout got the boys nervous. It's probably more than Duluth is #1 in the nation and playing like it.
