I fricken hate it when our dmen try to breakout into the pressure. Use your partner fellas.

You get a +1

Hak just said they want scoring out of that unit? By garsh......we need that line to steal some shifts and set a physical presence..... Hahahaha......Hak knows way more than me....what am I saying....

He is talking about the goals Zane gave up on Friday.

I can't believe you take a hitter like Rodwell out of the lineup on the fourth line. The fourth line gets softer with Drake.... Game three, the tough choices get made by the coaching staff, thats why they make the big money.

Boy were there times when Deano wanted to jump on the ice and kill the kid. Dave didn't have the best of careers at UND. Had the illness, dealing with the passing of his mother.....and some of his on ice decisions didn't sit well with the head guy.

Officiating didn't win the game for Minnesota. The better team won.

After Rocco scores tonight I'll be in super uncharted waters!

First time I've made it to round four....and of course its by default.....

It was a legit penalty call, and it didn't help that you had a full arena screaming into the officials ears about two seconds earlier for a call. Normally you would try and even them out, but that wasn't the case. After the Minnesota coach went crazy his team didn't get a penalty called on them......coincidence?

I just require five more wins this season. Thats it. They can win tonight and take a huge crap right in the middle of the ice in St. Paul......Just find a way to win this game....then four more.

Pretty much what I was thinking. It didn't do his defensemen any favors because they had to make a quick transition with no backchecking help because of the play. There are times to be fancy, and with three minutes left in the third period in a tied hockey game is not the time to get cute. Simpson was probably screwed either way. Not going to put him or his knee injury at fault. Although if he's hurt and it will affect his play he's got to sit.

Rocco Grimaldi will score a goal tonight.

Rowney broke the cardinal ten foot rule. You don't turn over the puck anywhere within ten feet of either blue line. He tried to make a pretty play instead of getting the puck low and it creates a rush the other way. Seniors need to be the difference tonight. Last game in the building should be memorable for the right reasons.

Rocco needs the puck to go off a defensemen's butt and in the net. Or he needs to dump the puck in on the goalie, have it take a stupid hop and bounce in the net. Goals are like grapes, they come in bunches. Hopefully we see the grapes this season.

I think Clark should be back in there. The goaltending wasn't the issue last night. This is my lineup for tonight, take it for what its worth: Kristo-Knight-Rocco Mark-Rowney-Parks Mitch-Gaarder-St. Clair Rodwell-Pattyn-Jim or Chyzyk I have no clue with what to do with the d pairings, but you have to find a way to get Panzarella into the lineup for his physicality.

Will do our best to be there. The door prizes and such should make for a jolly time.

Good points. What type of defenseman is a Bubba defenseman? Do we need trees or do we need quick puck management guys?

Gosh, and to think I felt bad for Tech....... Play last night didn't warrant a win.

I thought after sweeping Omaha this group maybe had what it takes. But after that weekend we've seen some sloppy hockey. Being totally honest, there wasn't a point other than that where I got overly excited about their play. PS: Very classy post, nice to have civil conversations with opposing fans.

I for sure thought it was a goal. But after watching Brad's video and this video it isn't a goal. From the overhead the puck goes over top of the crossbar, not under neath. From the live feed the puck bounces up. I know it doesn't matter, but interesting bounce of the puck.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8iDSxaBZWI Quick apology to the officials last night. After slowing it down that apparent first goal by Tech did not go into the net. It hit the top of the net and bounced back over and out. This thread will die quickly, but I was pretty critical of the officials.

No sleep for me tonight, but everyone please travel safely if you are going to the game tomorrow evening, weather looking to be extremely fragile. Hopefully we see a determined group of young men tomorrow evening. I guess hope they feel as sick as some of us feel, and none of us put skates on this evening. Regroup and go get em tomorrow guys.

Agreed. Tech has been the better team both nights. Would like to see a different team out there tomorrow. Definitely a disheartening past week of hockey for this team.

Way too many easy outs for Tech.....way too many.
