The Sicatoka

Hey, they have two banners, er, I mean "Nattys". (1954, 1985). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RPI_Engineers_men's_ice_hockey

< Narrator > The sounds you just heard were of at least a half-dozen cell phones bouncing off walls in Grand Forks and various forms of profanity preceding the name "Oxbow".

https://und.edu/student-life/esports/ And there is a link to the Varsity team there also ... a BS in video-games, whodathunkit.

Just adding a key emphasis ... 2/3 of that ain't do so hot on that this year.

Careful ... (and then The Sicatoka turns to look at the Masters from RPI on his wall ... )

Omaha's GF/GA is 78/120. You're going to see some unfavorable plus/minus with that split.

You missed the words "Cult of". By being so "out there" on Fakebook she's made herself a public figure.

Ooops ... you admitted it.

It says more about 6 and 24 (and maybe 4) than about 2 than we care to admit.

The snarky-cynical answer would be: To get it on tape for his "family advisor". Otherwise, burning him out on PK makes little sense.

A week ago 9, 17, and 22 were each -9. 9 and 22 held serve and remain -9. 17 is now -11. Are we going to talk about Gaber's defensive deficiencies or will that draw ire from the "Cult of Momma G".

The NCAA FCS selection committee would be much harsher regarding a loss to a mid-pack BSC school than to an FBS, so I disagree. But yes, 3-0 solves all the concerns.

I'd say it clicked for him that third season at Brooks ...

Did the incoming guys lose a critical year of development to lockdowns? (See: four below goal line.) Do the coaches not see this lack of fundamentals? The coaches need to step back to "Hockey 101" training it seems. You know ... coach.

Well ... Sidorski basically has been ... and when he was picked up via portal I did not expect that. I expected 4, 6, and 24 to be better and 2 to be modeling that fine Wall Street suit nightly.

Our last "depth add" skated top four last weekend ... not sayin', just sayin' ...

@Sodbuster Kleven: About 00:04 on the clock he just casually chucked the puck from the defensive slot to the NE corner half wall with Bulldogs still in attack mode. It's like he thought there was even less time left than there was. If he wanted to dump it he should've gone "south"; or, he could've just skated it to the half wall to maintain possession and control. Poor situational awareness.

You're right. And thanks for reminding me to switch to my computer glasses and not my everyday glasses. Going from 8 in 58 to a PPG pace ... something clicked.

Can I hope he's Tucker P 2.0 (late bloomer with good mobility)? But to still be available at age 20.5 is reason for pause. He put up 94 pts in 58 games in the AJHL last year. And he's 6'4" but only 190. https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/561395/tanner-komzak

Based on what I was told, affirmative. He is now the oldest recruit in the pipeline (by five months over Benoit).

Frankly, I hope this thread is on a monitor in a fancy leather-chair stadium-seating room somewhere in REA and the team is reading it together. I'd love to hear them try to refute these points.

Things I just didn't like Saturday: Kleven ended the first period four seconds early (and the whole arena gasped). That's what you call an omen. Blake is trying to be a one-man band. Does his stick not pass ... or shoot for that matter. Our sticks are not heavy on the puck. A cool breeze garners a take-away. Our passes are short, soft, and late/behind. Shoot the puck. Everyone, just shoot the puck. Right now it is OT and any shot is a good shot. This team lacks fundamentals: four below your own goal line? There are squirts laughing at that.

We don't play games at game speed. We are wholly predictable on breakouts from the defensive zone. How many times Saturday did a D take the puck behind the net ... and wait. Wait for the forwards ... during which time UMD got a full line change and the center ice (call it what it is) trap set up. That didn't happen last year because in that same time last year the one man breakout named Jake Sanderson would already be entering the attack zone. And you're missing one other factor: Leadership.

Are you sure about that? "Incontinence issues" may be involved with you two. Personally, I'd take the "high ground".
