Yeah, he is doing good things, so hopefully he and Kernan can get their first goals so they don’t have to think about it, and can just let the offense come to them.

Just the extra experience with being about 1 year older across their whole roster than us is an equalizer, then you add in their goaltending, and it is going to be a tough weekend like usual.

I would think Bob has to somehow find a way to at least keep the team from becoming apathetic and giving up. With a young team, if they aren’t at least improving, that makes it more difficult to rebound the next year if those young guys aren’t at least developing. Then you need guys to commit to staying, when it has become all too easy to search for greener pastures. We saw with UND that the vultures from other teams are getting into players ears trying to get them to bolt. Thankfully, other than Boisvert, the guys UND lost were addition by subtraction, but if Dylan James and Livanavage wouldn’t have stayed it could have been a mass exodus. Do guys like Mooney, Ziemer, Ludtke, etc, commit to stay or bolt to Michigan State like a lot of National team, among other players have? This kind of adversity tells a lot about the coach and even more so about the players. Will be interesting to see what happens from here on out.

It wouldn’t be so bad if that hadn’t happened other times where they could have run clock and paid for it by allowing the other team time for the comeback. They were most likely to be up by two scores, whether it be a touchdown or field goal, so might as well run clock.

I’m not the one complaining, as I don’t care one way or another about a “tradition” copied from our rival. The people that are appalled by the salute should take it up with the coaches or the Ralph if they have such a problem with it.

…and you do realize that it was copied from Minnesota, and they apparently only did it after a sweep. That is why they mocked us doing it with a win and tie. Again, gopher arrogance! Someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but I think I have seen them do the salute without a sweep now.

Again, you don’t have 13 players drafted without talent. There are probably 8-10 players on their roster that we recruited. Tell our coaching staff that Minnesota doesn’t have any talent they would probably laugh at you. Did we have no talent on our roster last year when we finished the second half of the league? Most players don’t make a huge impact their first two years of college hockey if they come in young. Our team last year even had some of those guys that had a few years of college under their belts. Things going on behind the scenes, lack of chemistry, and player/coach issues all played a part. Don’t know what’s going on in Minnesota now, but I still would bet you see a handful of players at least see some NHL time down the road. Remember how Pinto and company dominated Minnesota in Minneapolis with their young defense in 2019, then those same guys for Minnesota became cornerstones in making a run in the NCAA tourney.

Agree! It’s bizarre that people are so opposed to players saluting fans that showed up. Almost a gopher type arrogance, which was once exhibited by either Woog or Mazzocco questioning our stick salute once when we beat and tied Minnesota. If we want to get real arrogant we can say we should only do a stick salute when we win the big one.

Are you in their inner circle?

Doesn’t matter, from week to week and game to game, a lot of our fans will say we are the worst, or how great we can be, depending on the outcome. Just look at the threads of each of our losses.

Yes, made the big saves when we needed, but also didn’t have to move across the net to make a bunch of saves, making him able to square up to the shooter. Much improved defense with sticks in lanes.

Yeah, now you can’t mock other programs for saluting their fans!

It doesn’t help when you get the ball back with a chance to take the lead and you abandon the momentum of shoving it down their throat like they did on the touchdown. Sometimes I think the OC isn’t thinking about winning, but showing a bunch of different looks. How about going with the momentum and showing the offensive line the confidence you have in shoving down their throats?

Without an emoji there are plenty on this forum that will take it as gospel and run with it.

I meant where he fits in the lineup as a center.
