Thoughts after Omaha -- What the NCHC should change
Snake replied to The Sicatoka's topic in Men's Hockey
Ideally, I'd like to ditch the shootout...the PWR doesn't recognize them anyway. But, if we have to have them I'd be in favor of going with a 5-point system. As for the booth official, I'm guessing it would be something that would have to come down from the NCAA, but it would be interesting to see the NCHC pioneer it with a couple exhibitions. I just wonder how Andy Murray would deal with one less person on the ice to complain at. -
They brought Subban up so they could send Svedberg down for a conditioning assignment. Niklas hadn't been getting any playing time and they wanted to get him a couple games in Providence to knock off some rust.

To his credit, Zane held down the fort pretty well from 5 minutes into the first through the end of the period. And I think he only lost his stick once last night! :-) -

Yep. By the time Mac got to the puck in the corner after knocking Ortega down, the nearest Omaha guy had only made it back to the top of the near circle. -

Sorry, but all five Omaha skaters were on the far side and there was no threat. Mac cross-checked him on his way to the puck. Just go get the puck. -

But why cross-check him? -

But there was no scramble on this particular play, and the puck was nowhere near the crease. The puck was slowly rolling to a vacant corner, and if Mac hustles over there instead of hitting Ortega he gets the puck and clears the zone. Gotta be smarter than that. -

Sure, I get it, but the player has to be the one in control and not give an official the opportunity to make a bad call. Ortega was not even a threat to get the puck on that play. The puck was reversed softly to a vacant corner. Go get the damn puck Mac! -

That's why this one stings. They battled back only to let a lapse in discipline cost them points. -

A penalty is a penalty. Maybe we shouldn't make questionable plays in non-scoring situations??? -

Blame the stupid lack of discipline, not the refs. What team in their right mind gets down 5 x3 in OT? Disappointing because they worked hard to get it tied and got nothing to show for it. -

Do they play any defense in the B1G?

He was away from the boards and hit from behind. If that's not 5 I don't know what is. -

Does this years('14-'15) forward group deserve more credit?
Snake replied to yababy8's topic in Men's Hockey
It's difficult to assess, because when I look back and see a guy like Matt Frattin listed on the '07-'08 team, I think of the Matt Frattin from the '10-'11 team, even though he wasn't nearly the same player. Same could be said for Trupp and Malone. I like our current group just fine. For me it's been a while since I felt this confident about lines 3 & 4. When we can put 21-13-14 out there as our 3rd unit and they control play for 90 seconds it's a pretty good indicator of the level of talent on the forward group. The ability to work hard is a talent in its own right, too. -
Why all the ASG hate? We all know there won't be any defense, but nobody forces people to watch it. I watched both the skills competition and the game with my kids, and we enjoyed it a lot. Sure, it wasn't hockey in its purest form, but that's not the point. My girls ate it up! I'd say overall it was a very positive experience for me & my girls, even though it was more of a sideshow. The one thing I will say is watching the skills competition on DVR is the ONLY way to do it. Too much BS to fast-forward through to get to the actual meat of the broadcast.

University of North Dakota Hockey 2014-15 season
Snake replied to Frozen4sioux's topic in Men's Hockey
This ^ And why is it such an injustice for one guy to vote us #2 when the KRACH and PWR currently agree with him? -
I realize Minnesota is struggling and in the danger zone in the PWR, and I take as much enjoyment as anyone in the current state of things; but you'd think Sioux fans would be the first group to understand that there is still a lot of hockey to be played and that teams still have time to right the ship and save their season at this point. While they certainly can't afford any more slip-ups in their conference games, Minnesota has a pretty good opportunity to help themselves at the North Star College Cup this weekend.

Hey-oh! The other day, after giving her bedroom walls the final coat, I asked her if she wanted to sit and watch it dry, or go watch the Bruins. Her reply was "That would be like watching the Red Wings, let's go watch the B's!" Again, quite insightful! Edit: Copyrigt Goon, all rights reserved.
