Did we get a shot on net on that OO?

Whatever happened to taking the body once in awhile instead of waving our sticks around?

With our lousy PP it doesn’t even matter when these penalties even out.

So let the guy walk in on the goaltender. Give him all the space he needs. I thought we had a defensive minded coach.

Yes Rieger definitely should be in the mix somewhere.

1. Penalty kill was not very good last night IMHO. Got caught out there way too long and weren't as aggressive as usual, except the one time when we gathered like a bunch of mites along the boards and left the guy wide open in front of the net. Maybe the Bulldog PP is just that good. They certainly moved the puck around and got us chasing and when we couldn't get a clear we ran out of gas resulting in their PP goals. 2. As others have noted, we just don't have many guys who take it to the net this year. A lot of shots from the outside but still not alot of tip opportunities. UMD did that very well a few times last night. 3. As usual we come out of the box in the first period like we are recovering from the flu, or a hangover. Better as the game goes along. 4. I can't fault Cam as much as others have for last night.

Duluth looks so much better than us. Especially on our nonexistent power play.

Listened to iHeartRadio tonight in Denver since it wasn’t on NCHC.tv Hennessey is a first rate radio announcer and the side color on what’s going on with the team and the league is so much better than the Midco TV rubes. Any real information is nonexistent with them. And Katie’s hair drives the wife insane.

One has to question whether this team will qualify for the tournament this year. Looked like Omaha has more top of the line players than we do and for now they should be ranked higher than us. Much higher. Have we lost our recruiting edge since Hak left? Are the current players deaf to the coaching staff? Will the new AD know anything about hockey? Seems like a lot of questions around our proud program.

Troy Terry from DU is going to play for the Olympic team and miss two NCHC League series.

Yes Rieger earned a spot IMHO. With all the guys who aren't playing that well, why not.

Strong second on Travis Roche and Nick Naumenko. Matt Greene, McWilliam, Smaby, Schneider. More of my favorite defensemen. And some body you guys never heard of: Jim Cahoon. Centerman and Montreal Canadian draft choice from early 70's. F

Jost is now riding a bus around the AHL on a rehab assignment. Been injured since beginning of season. We shall see if he ever gets a chance to get strong enough for an NHL career.

Thanks just watched it. Was at game but didn’t see the play. Absolutely can’t believe what was called after looking at the replay. I agree that player was already injured and couldn’t take any kind of hit. This league will eat Monty up eventually and NHL would eat him up in a week.

Can somebody post a replay of this hit please

He would invariably say that when playing UND his Gophers better strap things on tight because they are playing a team that comes out every time with a purpose and a mission. Always something like that. I think he respected us greatly.

Amen

Borgstrom needs to be looking around for where the next hit is coming from.

Monty and his team have a very superior attitude. But they are highly skilled and it will take an old fashioned hockey game to soften them up.

Bad words and finger pointing.

CHN reports that Motzko and Monty had words in the handshake line Saturday night.

Kawaguchi not ready at this time. Seems too slow to me. Not sure what he was supposed to be but seems like very average at best prospect.

Very selfish play on JTs part. No room for this in Sioux hockey. JT needs some serious time in a suit
