Tommy.....

Boy would crowd noise be nice.... Good start.

I figured Ness would be in. It was a matter of Albrecht or Kunz.

Indiana State showing how tough the road can be in the MVFC. Yotes in a dog fight. Excited for today.

Season starts in two weeks. Hope the assistants can step in.

26 is Radke okay....

I think you've got to split up 17 and 9 on the PP because both of them are guys you'd want to be the focal point. I'd go: 22(L)-28(L)-9(R)-18(R)-7 (L)with 28 my net front guy, and 7 operating up top with 9 on his off wing wall. Other unit: 17(R), 26 (L), 14(L), 27(R) 4 (L) with 27 as my net front. Put 17 in his Duncan spot and work an overload concept with 4 and 17 and let 4 use his bomb of a shot if teams over play 17. I think having 14 on that off wing wall in give and go looks with 17 would give teams fits as well.

32 was in his comfort zone last night, nobody scoring for him and his team giving up four breakaways. He has been as advertised. Just a calm presence in the net that doesn't get super out of position. As the d grows together he could have a great season.

I think you could see changes tomorrow for Albrecht and Britt. Albrecht got the bench in the 2nd and Britt didn't play a ton in the third after he did take a shot at the end of the first. We need more from Gaber. A play that defined his night was in the third with a low-high play where our d man got the puck to the net and there was a rebound and he's doing a fly by almost behind the net with a rebound where he should have stopped. It's October. A great time to be humbled and look at areas where we just didn't have it.

We've got to get more out of our top guys. A good early butt kicking for the Green team. We've got to bear down on the chances. Close was very good, but We've got to pick corners and not kill the logo. Better team won the game. See how we respond tomorrow.

Lucky its only 2-0. Our goaltender has been fantastic. Minnesota is just so good in the neutral zone. I think we've got to get the puck deep at the blue line. Their d men are really good.

Get your lines straight now and play in their end a bit. Dodged a big bullet.

Top unit on first. Draw something up Karl. Starts with Blake.

Good period. We got a bit cute at times but fun to watch.

Same forwards huh. Nice to have a guy like Emerson that can spot in if someone isn't going.

If they could throw in the green breezers and green helmets.....

100%. Great showing last weekend against NDSU, now we don't look back and roll into the postseason. If we want to be seeded we need to win the rest of our games. This will be a good test, and a game we easily could lose. This game will be a great indicator of where we are at as a program. Have we taken a step, or was that lightning in a bottle and we are hoping like hell for 7-4 and a road trip somewhere?

I think we will get a good look at how good of a goaltender Close is. He's got a ton of game experience, but I don't think he's ever had to steal a game for them with the talent that they've had. How he handles things will go a long way towards Minnesota having a good weekend.

I'm anxious to see how Minnesota handles the crowd driven push by UND right away. I'm envisioning UND coming out fast and physical, the likes of which Minnesota hasn't seen to this point.

I wondered why the Browns were hanging with the 49ers. No Deebo or McCaffrey.....may not play next week. It's the keep me interested in the season mode.

The Vikings win the battle of last place teams.... 2-4. Who we got next? Crap.

Appreciated. It's amazing the number of other fans excited to see NDSU fall. Glad your yotes got them in Fargo.

Still? I thought we weren't a big deal to them?

Love that he plays angry. Will likely take an over aggressive penalty or two, but having him between 17 and 18 is huge as a puck grabbing center defensively. Time will tell if he or Ludvig is the portal grab of the year for UND. (You too #20....you too).

If anything I think we did NDSU a favor. I think they move away from Miller at QB. A lot of my friends who wear green and turd color clothing have called for the other kid.
