Stecher has come out of nowhere. Defense is the toughest position to play coming in as a rookie and he looks like a veteran out there. The sky is the limit for him.
Being a coach of the game for nearly 30 years you hit the nail on the head. Hockey is not a complicated game. Hard work will beat talent if talent doesn't work hard.
Fully expect Miami to be ranked #1 after tomorrows poll is out. They crushed Ohio St. and with Lowell losing to Sacred Heart I gotta believe they will be sitting on top. No question the boys need to stay out of the sin bin if they want a chance. The so called experts picked them to win the NCHC for a reason. Great early test for the squad. I would be happy with a split.
Cags is what Fighting Sioux hockey is all about. Skill,grit,being physical, and teamwork. Loved him as a freshman after his first game and love him more now.
Mattson drives me nuts. I really thought his freshman year he would be the next Genoway. I think he has almost regressed since then. Not good hockey sense.
Reffing was brutal to say the least. They made the WCHA officials look like they knew what they were doing in the past. Way to ticky tacky. No flow to the game waht so ever.
