Thanks. I didn't have all the timing last night. Massa made this amazing kick save while he was lying on his stomach. KETV showed it a couple times on the news. Anyways, I got the shot of the guy shooting it, then the next shot it was already off the foot and making its way towards the boards. If I had an $8000 camera like the OWH, there would have been a few more frames in between there to get the puck on his foot....

Thanks Greg. Yep, last night was awesome.

Ortega Earns NCHC Player of the Month Honor

Ortega is the first Maverick to be named national player of the month since November of 2012 when Ryan Walters won the award. Earlier in the day, Ortega also was named the NCHC Player of the Month, the second Maverick to be so honored this season.

Massa will not be available in goal this weekend and possibly longer due to another concussion.

Poor kid, that's not good. Bummer for the team as well.

IIRC, this is not his first. Hope he recovers quickly and has a good outcome.

As much as we need him and as well as he has played, I hope they take their time with this.

Really need to team to come out with more urgency than they have lately. Hopefully playing conference foes does that.

UNO moves into first place in the NCHC.

1st place and they did it with Massa unavailable. Something special about this year's Mavs.

Completely different than what we expected after watching the preseason game.

May be the biggest series of the year for UNO coming up Fri 1/30, and Sat 1/31 against North Dakota, who loves to bring a lot of green into town. Now that college football is over, if you've thought about attending a game, this will be the time to attend! I'm planning on going to the Sat game, puck drops at 7:07, anyone else thinking of going?

For this young group, this year may be the start to get ready to move into a new arena next year.

I am hoping they push 10k per game for that weekend. Good crowds this past weekend, 6500 and 7000, so there is no reason to think they can't get close to 10. During the post game Saturday night, Lester said he was hoping for 11 or 12 for ND.

Post by **Coyote** » Mon Jan 12, 2015 10:26 am

There may be 2k-3k in green though....

Good, it will make for a better environment. Sometimes I think UNO fans get complacent so it fun to get a loud group of beer drinkers from the frozen north to mix it up a little....

I might be wrong but it looks like the Friday game is on CBSSN and Saturday's is on NET1.

I would love to go but unfortunately my daughter's first b-day is Saturday.

I don't follow hockey as much as I used to, but it seems like UNO should be ranked a little higher.

No big deal, its a young team at a university that hasn't exactly finished the season well the past few years.

UNO Wins 4 to 1. Splits the weekend series.

And still in first place. Nice to have Massa back and to have a week off to prepare for North Dakota.

Time for UNO to crank up the marketing. This is unfolding as a pretty special season.

I hope they do well against NoDak. Can't stand their fans.

I have a friend that feels the same way. That being said, we went there for the UNO games on Thanksgiving weekend. With the exception of 4 people a couple rows behind us on the Saturday night game, we got treated great. All weekend.

The Saturday game against North Dakota has been declared a "black out" game. Encouraging all who attend to wear black.

I hate blackouts. It looks like Nobody is there on TV and in Photographs. I really wish it was red or white... Just like the new arena went with black chairs, really wish they went red.

That's a UNO thing. I contact Lawlor's on why they don't offer UNO hockey stuff in red anymore? They said it was UNO's request, did not want to be confused with UNL.....

And for the record, I agree, wish UNO had not made the decision to move away from red.

So the new UNO arena is going to have black seats?

An interesting game to do a blackout for considering UND is known to travel well and there will be as many UND fans as UNO fans at the series. The blackout will just make all the green stand out even more IMO.

It absolutely will. The green stands out in there on a non "Out" game...
