What a difference a week makes. Last Sunday we blew threw Western and were all cute and undefeated...and now we need a win like I need a 2020 reprieve. Put Gooch back with 18-16. Judd hurt so who knows about other lines, and not sure about Frisch.

They need a slump buster.

Our BASKETBALL team is beating NDSU.....crap I don't know anyone's name....

Berry's definition of battling and mine are different.

So.....loss....tie.....loss. Why don't the other teams in the pod have to play so many games?? Ohh they do too?

5-3. Get Scheel off.

I think its a good goal. Goal on the ice.

What now idiot??? Under review...

I think Hrenak touched that.

Is there any chance Mismash scores on this?

I'd give Feeny the last 5 minutes here and have Scheel ready for tomorrow.

I think we took a penalty there too.

5-2. Thats about right.

Jasper with Senden and Hain makes sense. That line has been good. Roll three.

Right call, no goal.

Catch a bleeping pass..... Adams....Jasper....my god....

Kawaguchi all alone can't finish.

And thats it for Thome.....

Thome wants that one back.

I think the coaches keep 29-22-17 together. Then again, anyone can play with 22-17. Hain and Senden are great together, gotta find the third guy. Cole Smith mentality please. Didn't get on the score sheet, but 21-14-28 was for 60 minutes our best line. Might have been Keane's best game. Don't have a finisher on that line, but they can grind away shifts in the offensive zone.

We move on to SCSU. Hopefully that guy that wrote the epic brain injury/Caufield to prison post last season stops by....maybe not. They still have a Brodzinski, and their goalie Hrenak has been there forever. How you replace a guy like Ahcan remains to be seen. They won three in a row to start. Then lost to a Western team with crappy goaltending. Three points would be nice.

That second period last night was fantastic. Minus the physicality part (which I don't think you will see much from this team), that was Sioux hockey. They bury their chances and its 3 or 4-1 heading to the third period. Scheel reminds me of Zane. Just air tight and then a softie. I didn't get a great look at goal #2 he gave up so I'll give him a pass on that one. If you asked me if I'd take 3-1-1 through our first five with Denver twice and Duluth with a Western sprinkled in I probably would take it most times, but feeling a bit upset at this point.

Yup, well said. Fantastic job by those three (19, 3, 15) in a tough spot and a long change.

Thoughts: -Scheel is so good at times and then one slips that just makes you wonder. -Moore had a solid game. Nice job by the rookie on the back end. -That second period was fun to watch. Made Duluth run around a bit, which you don't see that often. -Senior forwards have to step up. Adams, Kawaguchi, Mismash. Adams and Kawaguchi had superb chances in close that have to end up in the net. -Hopefully Hain is alright? -Nobody feels sorry for them, get the boots back on for SCSU on Saturday.
