UNB slit the weekend, but won the key game showing everyone they can play tight D when needed. A bit sloppy on Saturday vs UPEI. Too many penalties, poor PK, poorer PP, a hot goalie and you have goalie #4 in the nets. Regardless - the game against UdeM shows that UNB can bring a tough game to the arena when they want.
A 3 point weekend for Nipissing vs #11 and #2. Not enough to stay in the top 10, dropped to #11 behind Acadia. They should be ranked higher - 3 loses in OT - they could be 10-1 and ahead of McGill.
Laurier got the spit on the road vs Lakehead. LKD has to do better at home vs last place in their division. I'm surprised they didn't drop a place or two.
