Maybe we could get Thome one of those things where the other team doesn't score a goal. Win first of course.

And now Merrimack pulls the plug on their season.

Definition of a trap game. Hopefully SDSU pounds on Western this Saturday. The Jacks can't afford another early loss with who they have left on their schedule, so I imagine they'd bring the physicality up a level on Saturday. No prediction until I see how Western hangs with the Jacks.

Everybody plays, last game before tournament time, lets roll. Should be the best crowd this group will see supporting them all season. Take it to Omaha, stay out of the dumb stuff, and put together a good performance going into the post season. UND 5 Omaha 1 Over under on Abate penalties is set at 2. I'm taking the over.

Good win. 3-0. Hawks leaving no doubt.

Like that. Thanks.

Guys. I love you. Don't be cute. Just score okay....

Otis with 8 carries for 133.

Love how angry Otis runs. Ball security to be addressed but he isn't going out of bounds.

OTIS!

Good half defense. Let's score to kick off the 2nd half.

Damnit Tommy.

Yeah, noticed that too. Should have been illegal motion.

Are they sure Otis didn't catch that?

I'm excited for five seasons with him.

There wouldn't be a dilemma if they let all the goalies on the ice all at the same time. Stupid rules.

I'm on the fence with this topic. If it was a two game series Thome totally gets one of the games. Saturday night likely. We all know Scheel is the guy going forward and he's playing well. Are we going to not let him see game action until March 12th? At the same time Thome has been a super team guy (ala Tobey Kvalevog) and my heart says give the guy one more game in the rink, he deserves it and is perfectly capable of getting the W in net. I'll back whatever the coaching staff decides to do in this instance. My head says Scheel, my heart says Thome. The easy answer is just start Feeney.

No way my wife comprehends a 5pm football game on a Thursday in March...... That being said...... Hawks 27 Yotes 24

Agreed. If you are going to take it there, you'd better be willing to drop em and take some punches until the linesmen step in. I remember Gooch getting tossed for that a few years ago. In college its a 5.

Will you be dressing in your GFC gear or your RR attire?

I'm thinking that he's back in the lineup and all parties move on. Lots of haters on social media. Took a long shift, bad bounce of the puck going over his stick, and its in the back of the net. Funny on that play that they let Tuch sit wide open all alone to tie the game up on the back door. Zach was in the right spot, just a bad bounce. I can't see another team taking that contract unless its the Leafs or serious contender looking for a role guy to solidify a third line. He does have a no trade clause, so he will get to choose exactly where he wants to go.

Zach Parise a healthy scratch for the first time in his wild career. Has always been a classy human being, lets see how he handles it going forward.

Gustavus just had to call both their men's and women's seasons. Be careful boys.

These days going forward are huge for the program. Anyone who has any type of close contacts with the hockey program has to be on high alert. Home, to the rink, home, to the rink. Can't imagine a positive test ending a great season.

I'm the last person that should be questioning decisions on the field, but do we not have to get Otis the ball more? Seems like he gets stronger as the game goes on. I'd like to see him with 25 touches at least in the run/short screen game. Maybe a reason he's had success is the staff has kept his touches down early in the games, and then pounded on a tired defense with him later?
