I'll concur with what others have said. This team just plays different when Thome is in the net vs. Cam.
It's Schweitzer taking over for Kvelevog all over again....

We had a forward playing D, but in that situation he wasn't going to get beat wide so he wasnt getting to the net. Cam needs to read that and be ultra aggressive. I didn't see any CC trailer or F2 coming in so no chance for a drop pass empty net goal. IMHO Cam misread how aggressive he should have been in that instance or figured Mismash was going to get beat 1-1 so he played it passively.
I was thinking about who the goalie will be tonight. I completely agree it should be Thome, yet I have a weird feeling Berry gives Cam another go based on “senior” and short leash last night.
Its getting to the point with the PP that they shouldn’t even have units....just do what the Russian WJC coach does and roll his 4 lines and call it good.
I hope it’s Rieger instead of Johnson. I liked him with Smith and Simonson on the checking line when Olson was out.
No Ludvig so your centers are.....Rhett, Bowen, Simo....Adams again I’d guess. They need Jones to get healthy.
Can’t imagine they’d come out flat Friday....week off.... big game.....lots and lots to play for......
Need at least 4 points to give them a tiny bit of breathing room before two weeks on the road. That Denver sweep of Duluth was huge for this team’s home ice hopes.
Agreed. That being said Plant really needs to get evaluated by a doctor with no university of Denver affiliation. The kid runs into Smith in Denver and has to be carried off the ice on a play that happens all the time at all levels......
Seeing the names Panzer and Spicer brings back some old Ralph GFC state hockey memories. I'm guessing the Panzer kid ends up at UND if he put up four points against that group.
