With our luck we will sweep a couple of the harder teams then lose to Omaha and CC, then have to face the prospect of facing those hard teams again in the Frozen Faceoff to make the tourney.

...and we know how St. Cloud and Minnesota State swallowed up all the extra UND fan's tickets in Sioux Falls.

And sometimes it works the opposite way. I remember Nolan Patrick saying he always wanted to play for the Fighting Sioux, yet when push came to shove, he ended up playing for Brandon.

So they are going to put the 4 old video boards in the 4 corners of the upper deck?

So are all the banners above the ice surface now? The rendering shows some up above the student section in the upper deck. Maybe the scoreboard will obstruct the view of some of the banners.

Couldn't tell if we were outshooting them or not though.

The obsession isn't one sided. Don't ever recall people complaining that the football team never used the old logo on their helmets.

We hear post game all of the time about having passengers and selfish penalties, however I don't recall guys sitting for those issues. I'm sure it has happened at some point, but I recall guys continuing to take dumb penalty after dumb penalty with no consequence. I was heartened when Mismash sat the second game against Canisius only to find out it was due to injury. Way too much talent there to continue to operate with little intensity resulting in lazy passes and not bearing down on chances. Hate to single him out, but that seems to be the most glaring based on what we saw from him early last year when it looked like he would be the next star forward we are missing, someone who takes the team on their shoulder down the stretch of close games, preventing disasters like Canisius.

Paul LaDue with the game winning goal for the Kings today. Maybe he should be playing more since they don't seem to be doing much otherwise.

Yes, where is Schlossman when you need him? He sure put it out there when the record was good, but the last few years it seems 50/50.

He's not exactly ripping it up in Minnesota High School hockey with his size. Will be interested to see where he lands and how much he produces his first year.

That is the huge concern. They came out of Christmas last year in decent shape as well, only to lose a number of games they should have won. This is the second year in a row where they have lost pairwise ground after Christmas. Say what you want about how Hakstol's teams started, but they improved almost every year after the break. Now we seem to regress after the break. That flat out shouldn't happen with the younger teams we have had.

Who'd have ever imagined we would be comparing ourselves to Boston College in the negative sense, instead of "why can't we be like Boston College"!

Actually, 0-3-1 against Bemidji and Canisius.

He’s a piece of work!
