Watched the MU/MSU game tonight. Very sloppy game, lot of hitting, poor goaltending, not much skill on display. Wasn’t impressed with either team. Not NCHC caliber.

CC out. Too bad.

No. 6th.

Sioux 4, Mavs 1. Persson in goal. Another 3-pt night for Blake. Snipes by Berg, Blake, OMac and the Captain.

We can’t let up tonight or tomorrow, as a loss would hurt Pairwise ratings immensely. We need to maintain a top 4 rating through the playoffs to preserve home ice in the national regionals.

Starman stated it well. Western throws a lot of shots at the goal but few are grade A chances. Sioux shots are quality shots from close in between the dots, the kind that result in goals. Sioux also have more snipers than Western. Western seems to rely on greasy goals and rebounds - that’s their style of offense. Persson wasn’t tested to the degree the number of SOG’s might suggest.

Western still above the cut line after this loss. A win tonight gets them in I think for certain. Even another loss tonight they’ll be better than 50% odds to get in. They stand at 74% probability now.

Goals from all four lines last night. Gotta love the relentless balance in this squad. Something you don’t see with Boston C or Boston U.

I don’t even know what that means.

Maybe I’m being overly optimistic to counteract all the bed wetters on this board.

If the playoffs started today we’d breeze through rounds 1 and 2 and into the FF. #3 in the PW ain’t too shabby. Just sayin’.

Nice seeing DU getting smacked by Western. Pretty much shoves them out of Penrose competition.

Whatever Dillon Simpson had the D boys doing against DU needs to happen again tonight. We sucked in center ice last night.

I agree. Seemed like a lot of shots were targeted just inside the post or trying for bar downs but were off the mark. This team has a lot of snipers but twisted wristers from close range don’t always need that kind of precision to beat a goalie.

Exactly what I said about Blake. Winners have higher expections than last night’s performance. Sometimes a win isn’t win.

I think Blake was disappointed in the team’s play as well as his own. His expectations are high, as they should be.

Hoby needs to play on Saturday.

True story. Ludvig worst player on ice tonight.

Yes the D has been bad but the goalie needs to anchor the D.

Ludvig’s positioning has been so bad. Like he’s got lead in his skates.

Person stinking tonight. Doing nothing.

Miami PK aggressive

Person not sharp tonight.

10 seconds into PP. Nice.
