Considering any loss after tonight will be to a team lower in the PWR it may not bode well for our tourney chances.

I use it all the time...only to about a 20% success rate!

It's really not on him to motivate the boys at this point, though. They have to find it within themselves considering what's at stake. They played pretty hard last night, so I don't think motivation will be a problem. CONFIDENCE, more than anything, is what this team needs. One of my favorite expressions is "next goal wins." I think if we score first tonight we will score often.

By my count this team is now 0-3 in games where they have a chance to clinch something of significance. They've scored 4 goals in those games, with two of them at home against lower-ranked teams. They better find some goal scoring quick for the games that now matter.

I agree.

We're three points clear of the Pens. Good to have our "destiny" in our control (if one can truly control something that is destined to happen). As Badger Bob would say "a great day for hockey!"

Because our PWR is dependent on more than just our winning and losing.

Exactly...get all universities (or at least the western schools) to have a "gentlemen's agreement" to never bid with off-campus sites. Problem solved.

Ha, that goes without saying!

One would think it almost has to happen given the lack of bids for the 2015 regionals and consequential award to Compton Family Ice Arena. It would be funny if everyone just said "screw-it" to the neutral site policy and just submitted home arenas. What would the NCAA do then?

IIRC, that team was something like 13/13 combined on the PK against BU & BC.

He did one on with Katie Hale, or was I just imagining it? I seem to remember the phrase "we'll put this one behind us."

That's BS and excuses. "National Coverage" wasn't even on the radar when I was in school and our crowds rocked.

I think this is a better road team. Let's face it; those of us who travel to watch these guys are more inspiring than the home crowd these days. More gets written in the papers about the road crowds than how tough our fans were on the opponents. Anyway... SCSU probably deserved the Penrose since they were 3-1 against us. Let's face it; in the old WCHA it would've come down to head to head. We were only in the drivers seat due to a new tie breaker scheme. Regroup and start a new streak!

Way to go Zaniac!

Camera angle is off just enough to show both the crossbar and the goal line, so it isn't perfect. The puck popped the twine just behind the post. It didn't look like it crossed the line simply due to the angle of the overhead cam. The overhead angle is only "true" if the puck is on the ice.

By my count that's the third penalty we've taken in the WMU zone.

Yep, really picking it up now.

Maybe I'm just ornery because I'm not really liking what I'm seeing so far from our squad!

Well, just as fire Hak ran its course, threads derailed by the same re-hashed webcast complaints gets quite annoying.

Midcontinent did deliver HD to us a year in advance of what they agreed to, so maybe we shouldn't b*tch so much.

My guess is he'll be in the Springs tonight, since even if UND were to win tonight we won't know the result of the CC/SCSU game until about an hour afterward. No sense presenting a trophy to an empty building.

Got ours yesterday!

Unless it happens to be the third-place game at the NCHC tourney and you somehow still miss the NCAAs...
