I agree. Nothing Matej could have done on first goal. Second goal was a bomb. There are times as a goalie when you're in the perfect spot, out of the paint, on the angle and the puck just beats you, like when a baseball player hits a great pitch out of the stadium....you tip your cap. I hope Tomek getting pulled was more of a wakeup to the group than a wakeup you're playing bad Matej.

Completely agree about Gornall and Smith being in the lineup. When Jost comes back those two need to stay in the lineup. My player of the game was Peski.....wow has he come a long long ways.

Berry post-game interview on pulling Tomek: "We can't be worried about hurting feelings, it's team first."

So Hyrnkiw gets the nod tomorrow night? Sounds good to me.

Let's not let Hyrnkiw get lost in this comeback. Solid effort from him. Great game from Gersich. Could have 4.

Line responsible for both goals....Olson-Simo-Smith. Grinder line comes up big.....now Boeser or Gersich need to win the damn thing.

First start for Matej......my ohhh my.....

Used to pencil them in to a top four finish at state every season, weird not seeing them in the top four of the EDC.

No Jost means a guy like Wilkie has got to step up. No more snake bit excuses. He will likely get the chance to be in the top six forwards, so he needs to get on the score sheet. Tucker Poolman likely to see 30 plus minutes each night. Big weekend for the three Freshman defensemen as well.

Question for those with knowledge of Grafton/PR: What is going wrong up in Spoiler country? Numbers? Best athletes not playing hockey? Looks like they won't be at state again.

It's got to be playoff mentality from here on out. Don't want to throw too much on the table in January, but the boys need to find that extra gear this weekend and get at least 4 points. (Cue anything less than a sweep is unacceptable) The team was really good the last time they played on the Olympic sheet, and it would not surprise me in the least bit if Friday's game is a 7-1 affair. Gersich going to have a huge weekend. Got a feeling.

Are we putting numbers and names on the back of these Mafia?

Put me down for two as well sir.

Fair grades for the d corps. I'm worried sick about next year. Losing Ausmus won't hurt, but losing Tucker after this year and having Colton Poolman return as your best lockdown defenseman of a group that has been below average as a whole? Ohh boy. Who do they have coming in? Bast and Kierstad?

Come on, I wanted an atom bomb post, or a rioting Simpsons post.....

Thoughts: -D core in shambles.....Gage now hurt. -Cam not at his best.... -Liked what I saw from Gornall -You create your puck luck. UND got zero, but did they deserve any? The road is the best place for this team to be now. Get out of town Wednesday and just try to piece together a game Friday.

Bruce Ciskie trolling on twitter....yup, it's officially a butt kicking, and all the vultures are out.

No kidding? Or do I need to pick up a newspaper?

All that's left is for drunk hockey guy to come on here and gloat. Or did he get banned?

And overcame a major injury to score a goal after getting checked last night.

On a positive note CC should have swept UMD in Duluth.....so we got that going for us....

Yup. You can say all you want to fire a team up, but it'd be like Frazee yelling at his d men after giving up the Bina goal.

Shaw with his second assist of the night. 4-0.

They miss Stecher and Drake. Yeah Gage is the captain, but Stecher and Drake were guys that held everyone accountable with the high level they played at.

Pionk looked like he wanted to throw the jack in the box on Pogo, but couldn't stop. Pogo lucky he didn't get a five.
