I'm very likely reading too much into this, but during his mid game interview, Wolanin made mention of Omaha being a hard working team "regardless of their skill level." That struck me as a bit condescending to Omaha, and made me wonder if there's some sort of belief that the boys can just show up and win on their perceived talent. That's certainly not the case with this team!
Then again, I'm probably nitpicking, but I'm trying to understand why they seemed so...as Ben Holden put it...disinterested.

We seem to go though this every season. The staff tends to build from the net out, so we generally have issues scoring in the first half of the season. As the guys improve on and learn the details of the defensive side, they start to open it up a bit in the second half.
It's a heck of a lot harder to fix a leaky defense and win games in February and March.

How many more next gen record stats can we see for the huskies?
They're 8-0-1 when Jim Rich mispronounces a name.

We aren't playing bad. Relax people.

100% not a goal. Kiersted did not cause enough contact for Lizotte to end up in the back of the net.
The goal was legit....the penalty on Kiersted was a tad questionable.

Looks like he intentionally sauced and knocked down the puck in one motion to fake the pass to the middle before undressing the defender. Sick.

I've always seen our PP "struggles" as a result of the types of players we recruit. We've always had kids who are good to great two-way players...not the flashy ice-wipers who rack up points in the PP. Our PK is a direct beneficiary of that. Although we don't clip at a steady 30% on the PP, our PK is often a strength. Overall, our special teams grade out pretty well.

After every home series?
The way they start games it's every first intermission.

So if they salvage a tie tonight will they still have the annual players only meeting?

25 didn’t play last night to be fair...
But over the course of the season, yeah we should expect more from those three.
Oh, I'm aware he didn't play, but he needs to be better when he does.

Bad bad game. We were obviously much better. Upperclassmen need to pick it up. I’ve heard 19 is a lock to leave, at this point that is shocking.

43 minutes ago, scpa0305 said:The A is a very tough league. Both him and 14 have to be more productive. At this point I’m wondering why 14 is on the PP. He definitely deserves a very long leash but he has 4 points this year.
You guys beat me to it. 19, 14, and 25 simply need to be better. We've managed to get by on defense and newcomer scoring, but the supposed big knockers better start knocking.

Nah...He was half the player Matt Frattin was.

An argument could be made for Lee Goren on Dave's 90s-2000s team.
Travis Roche was pretty good too.

Based on time at UND, I'd definitely have Jeff Panzer in your centers list over Brock Nelson.

I keep thinking of the football adage "If you've got two quarterbacks you've got zero quarterbacks."
I hope this year's "depth throughout the lineup" mantra doesn't end up meaning "zero legitimate scoring threats."
Its still early though.

For playing the puck??
Yeah, bad call

I thought they started a tad slow, but really picked it up after the first. I'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt being a mere two weeks in and on a long road trip. It's not like they didn't learn anything last night, and if they (and we) trust the process they'll be fine.
I would've liked to see a PPG or at least less perimeter play and more of an effort to get the puck down low.
The 5 on 3 PK with the game on the line was a pretty big moment and they passed that test. AA had all the momentum after tying the game just minutes before.

They should just make a visor mandatory no matter how long you've played in the league and tell everyone to wear it properly.
Kronwall and Hagelin are others that come to my mind on this.

Buxton went through what a lot of guys do....I watched Jackie Bradley Jr. of the Red Sox really struggle, especially at the plate, his first two years. Last year he hit 26 home runs and had a career high for batting average. Buxton appears to have found his stride and looks comfortable in the batters box. I think they finally quit messing with his swing and let him do what works for him...as far as defense goes, the guy is lights out.
They "quit messing with his swing?" The guy used to have a huge leg kick/stride that they've tamed considerably. He's now able to stay back and not flail at breaking balls like he used to. I'd say a lot of the changes they've asked him to make are now paying dividends. He's been damn fun to watch!

Not physically ready to compete against NHL defensemen.
But he's only being asked to face Big 10 defenses this year, so...

WORLD?Name a better goalie in this galaxy.
Shame on me for having such a narrow view of these things!

Brilliant move (or non-move) by Sullivan coming back with Murray for game 5. I'm sure there was a lot of outside pressure to go with the best goalie in the world, but he made the right call. His team responded nicely.

So if Denver, UMD, St Cloud State, and North Dakota were all in the NCHC Frozen Face-Off at the Xcel Energy Center, it wouldn't be quite the same because the jersey patches say NCHC on them instead of WCHA? There were several years of no Gophers at the Final Five and the tournament didn't miss a beat.
As much as it pains me to say it....you can't ignore the contribution the Gopher fans made toward the atmosphere of the tourney. A good chunk of them still showed up even though their team wasn't there.

Yep. Seems like we were a little less prepared for the early departures than in years past.
The easy solution would be to over-recruit like some teams, but then we wouldn't be able to rip on them for it, so....
