Wins the game before it starts......Yes, Pyke is the current leader in the Virg Foss +/- award standings.

A little Friday morning trivia. Without cheating....who currently leads the team in +/- with a +7. Here is your help, Blake and Berg are tied for second at +5.

Extremely interesting times if the team loses on Saturday and misses the playoffs. Chaves will have to make some kind of comment to the media as the pitchforks will be out after a 6-5 season.

Just a reckless play. Mark Parrish was on KFAN this morning talking about it. Your stick can be a weapon....it stays on the ice.....you have swords attached to your feet, they need to stay on the ice. Every hockey player has that responsibility, regardless of level.

Yeah that's pretty much it.

Okay, @farce poobah has got me thinking of new sandwich combos at the Pep, but lets see what we know about the Hawks.... ~Lost their last four games. ~1-3 on the road ~Swept at home by the mighty CC Tigers last weekend. (Did @Godsmack watch?) ~Lead in points by Mathew Barbolini who was their MVP last year and also their most improved player. This has all the makings of a TCOS, but Ludvig and company stole one last year at the Ralph, so lets not count points before they're had.

To be that young to enjoy that.....to be that young......

It's all about making sure that Ludvig's former team doesn't gain a point at REA this weekend. Anything less than a sweep is....... @Goon....

Playoffs start this week against Illinois State. Let me check their... Ohh it's a playoff game for them as well, as they sit at 6-4.

The senior class at UND has not lost at Amsoil in their career. Crazy. I was happy to see Bast out there in a top four d pairing for Duluth. Glad he's somewhere where he will play, and play a lot. Sandy may have his work cut out for him with this group. Not much all weekend for Biondi or Spicer. And Thiessen should be in the running for NCHC goaltender of the week. He's the reason last night wasn't 6-0.

Ludvig's first three game winning streak of his career. And his buddies are at the Ralph next week.

Good road performance. Ludvig didn't have to be spectacular. Nice job green.

Possess the puck. Gain the zone. Pass it back and forth. Use two d men on the PP.

My opinion. That's the wrong call. What I wouldn't give to hear Ciskie right now.

I don't think it's a major.

Puck off the post. Puck management has to get better in our zone.

Gotta start simplifying things guys. Possible review coming on puck off the post.

Now if Ludvig just doesn't get scored on we are fine.

Power play looked good there.

Dogs are feisty tonight. I like it.

UND is the better team. Don't be happy with 3 points. Dominate puck possession and win 4-1.

Are they currently undergoing a locker room remodel? #tents

So we're 6-4 needing to win the last week of the season so we can end up on the road in the playoffs. In the playoffs we won't be able to stop the run, while our offense doesn't attack at all but plays the field position game..... I've seen this episode before haven't I?

I thought Minnesota exposed some of Duluth's weaknesses defensively. Took a great goaltending performance to get the tie at home on Saturday night for the dogs. Feels like a split, but we could sweep for old time's sake......
