“Embrace the suck” - military slang = To consciously accept or appreciate something that is extremely unpleasant but unavoidable. in other words, appreciate the efforts of a group of young men, trying their hardest to not disappoint. In no way should you expect your self-esteem to be measured by something in which you have merely an observers perspective. In other words, you shouldn’t expect to be able to beat your chest for something done for you…

I can’t help but notice the similarities between this board and Nebraska Football Twitter. All the teams that get trash talked on here suffer the EXACT issues, and have for years, that you guys are predicting in the future. Recruiting, location, coaching, etc. Settle down kids, embrace the “suck” as they say!

Sorry, thanks!

I believe the tie was Omaha on Saturday night.

Ok, I am going outside the guardrails here… either call them the ‘Jimmy Wimmies’, or, the ‘James Dames’. I’ll see myself out…

From Neutral Zone: 2 years ago-ish… Jayden Jubenvill #3 (F, L, 5’11”, 165, Parkland Rangers Midget, 06/19/2003)- Jayden is a smooth skating defenceman with elite puck-moving abilities. His stride is fluent, and he makes getting around the ice look effortless. His edge work is smooth, and he pivots well when transitioning from offence to defence or vice versa. He is serving as the team captain this season and he played on the top defence pairing. He also played top power play minutes where he quarterbacks the power play. The ’03 has quick puck movement and he did well to get pucks on net tonight. He picked up one assist on the man advantage after his shot on net was not cleanly handled by the goalie and a teammate was quick to pot the rebound. His offensive instincts are superb, and he is a threat to put up points in every game he plays. He still has the smarts and skating to be responsible in the defensive zone and he is quick to get back into the play after offensive zone turnovers where he is caught down low. Jayden should be a treat to watch all season long and he has really rounded out his game compared to other seasons we have watched him. Grade: A (3.25 *)

Operative words ‘great passes’. Maybe others could try that! Who knows what could happen!

And don’t forget they tied LIU the week before they came to the Ralph!

I think to some degree it’s possible, yes. Reading the board at times seems like a rollercoaster. Everyone gets their opinion, but I believe it’s never as bad, or as good, as ‘the posted opinions’.

Sanderson covered a lot of sins.

By the pxp? I like the “suicide puck battle” and the fact that on every rush he tells you the direction…

Kleven’s goal was awesome. One goal isn’t exactly collapsing with a 3 goal lead with 6 minutes to go. They’ll be fine.

Don’t think I’ve watched a worse feed in 7 years. Could barely watch, let alone listen to the series. ESPN+!!!

7 goals?

Actually, I have a different perspective on the weekend. Like I said, I don’t think UNO is a “bad” team. Young maybe, but not bad. The Friday night game went in our favor, but heavily weighted by a marginal goaltender interference call and a major penalty on 17 whilst you could argue he was acting in self defense because he was fighting off two fists and a stick at the time. Tonight, 2 bars and a post in the first period. It very well could have been a much different outcome. The jury is definitely out on them, but time will tell. I just say this because everyone seems to believe the team should have wiped the floor with them. I happen to think the NCHC play is going to be more interesting than usual. As for the Sioux, I think they have the all the pieces, they just need to play to their potential.

I have watched them, they’re not ‘bad’, just young. I said it before. Unfortunately for them, they lost their entire leadership group this past year. Several juniors and seniors as well as both quality goal tenders. They didn’t really get much in the portal, a big mistake on Gabinets part. He will need to learn from this. They sit two years from competitive, and that is if this freshmen class hangs in. These days who knows…

These refs suck.

Very nicely put together…

You forgot to have them brush their hair and straighten their ties…

Name thief to boot!!!

Oh god, the team has a bad period and the board comes apart. Can you just imagine 6th place in the NCHC? There would be pitchforks and torches moving in harmony across the plains... Shouts of "crucify heeeeeem!"

I know, but sometimes watching the board is more exciting than watching the game!

I was thinking the exact same thing, without the extra "o's"

Funny how such a simple tactic might gain such a large advantage. That, and how about the linesman actually drop the puck instead of goading face off men into violations so that they (the linesman) can again be the center of attention.
