What is holding in the MVFC?

Stupid play by our kids.

Attack mentality.....TD 9-7.

If Bubba is indeed coaching a three and out here with a good punt is in order.

Boy, you have to call OPI on that "rub route" play. Not good there stripes.

You've got one of the best QB's in FBS....I hate punting on possessions where you just move it out to punt it.

Through his hockey career Swanson has gone as his center has gone. He can thank Cole Knuble, Plante, and Fisher for his Force years.

100% I think the problem this group has is the defensive risk you take with Swanson with Zellers and Reschny. I like Rickwood, but he's not skill wise what Reschny is. Once you get into games with Western and Denver that group will get pounded defensively. Unless you say screw it and you guys are a line we have to have to make us successful in the long run this year and next year etc. Duluth has gone all in with the Plantes and Shaugabay, maybe that is the way to go and you live with the growing pains. James-Rickwood-Kernan Swanson-Reschny-Zellers After the way he played last night I think Josephson is figuring life out. I'll hang up and listen....

Rickwood

Watched game highlights and of course every goal Duluth scored was due to a mistake on our end. Goal 1: I get you want to outnumber teams on the power play, but we handed them a 2-1 with four guys low in the corner all on the wall playing below the puck. Goal 2: Turnover, and then a great film moment about compete and backchecking. If you coach a youth team show that clip to them. What not to do with tracking guys coming back. Goal 3: James takes a roughing the passer penalty at their blue line, and Shaugabay and the Plante's do the rest on the PP. Goal 4: Liv playing noon ball at the ymca....2-1...game. Hanson standing front and center, and nobody touched him. We were also super lucky to get to OT after we threw the puck away in our zone with under ten seconds left. The fire Jax thread may have started if we didn't get that one to OT....

Well look at that, Sam Houston playing Louisiana Tech in front of...the band....and maybe their girlfriends on a Friday night. Can't be more than 2,000 there, teams included. Light crowd at REA tonight due to the big holiday, but there were more people there then that FBS football game.

You just aren't going to win games when you've got guys with letters making dumb decisions late in games. Strinden doesn't shoot it on the 2-0 low, James takes a neutral zone penalty to make it 3-1, then Liv in OT trying to make a summer hockey play, then doesn't get back and get the guy's stick after Homer made the save on the 2-1. I don't think Homer is the guy at all, but he wasn't the reason they lost. Duluth has three guys that will beat you that you need to be aware of, and low and behold each of the 4 goals had a Plante involved in it. I thought Josephson took a step tonight. Big short handed goal and assist late.

Ummm, that can't be on him.

That's completely on #4....terrible play.

Team gets a point after trailing 3-1 late. Lets steal one in OT.

For the love of god....we cant throw the puck around like that late....God almighty....

I can't believe he passed that....man...

LETS GO!

A good question to ask yourself with those three on the ice. Who is my guy? And do I have his stick? Awful d zone there.

Bad neutral zone penalty and its 3-1.

Zellers becomes a pylon in the zone, and its followed by more flies on !@#$ and its 2-1. Plenty of blame to go full circle, starting with the turnover on the other end.

Rolling puck too. Nice play by 8.

Some of our d men are a 2-1 waiting to happen.

I don't think they'll call it a major.

The conference USA/MAC teams are the teams that get plucked as the early season schedule filler tune-ups for the power 5 teams so they can say they played an entire 1-A schedule when it gets down to the new playoff scenario. And when they are booked you get your FCS vs. FBS games, which are your FCS superbowls. Legit FCS teams are at the top of all those conferences, hands down. I'd even say UND would probably be fine up there. There is literally zero chance any of their conference games end up on a legit network on a Saturday. So they are playing on Tueday/Wednesday/Thursday nights on ESPN2/ESPNU to fill time pre college basketball season in front of 6,000 people and the highlights won't make ESPN because they'd rather talk about the WNBA and Ohtani. Yeah, NDSU should move up to that. How busy is the Fargodome on Tuesday or Wednesday nights?
