Wisconsin will be leading the Big Ten after tonight.

That’s right, I guess I just wasn’t paying attention because our second half was postponed for another week.

Don’t know if it was a misprint or if it was changed because of Covid issues, but you would think the two perceived best teams in each post Pod division would play each other 6 times. Playing teams like Omaha and Denver 6 times each is a bit more daunting than Miami and Western.

Does anybody have the original schedule from the opening of the Pod? I thought Duluth and St. Cloud were to play each other 6 times.

Childish behavior? Read your posts in reaction to things you don’t like. Of course everyone else is childish but you are mature in your posts.

I don’t see St. Cloud losing to anyone but possibly Duluth. I could easily see us losing 2 or 3 to Denver or Omaha.

So our games against Denver are reshuffled to accommodate CC’s schedule, and in the process we will be playing Denver while sitting an extra week, instead of continuing on our roll?

Yes, that is what Scheel reacted to initially.

Even so, with under 4 minutes to go in a 2 goal game, I might tend to stick with a combo of Kiersted, JBD, Kleven, Sanderson and Frisch, rather than Rieger, who has been known to take bad penalties. (Who hasn’t this year though.)

How was he wasting time when he got caught from behind for the second time. He didn’t turn back to kill time, he got caught from behind and didn’t even force them to go back and regroup.

Looks like Kleven was hit from behind and we get a tripping penalty.

Do stick penalties go both ways, because Weatherby was clearly hooked on the hands and looked back at the ref.

Yeah, you could hear the coaches and bench just screaming.

Anyone see when Gaber was down after he was clobbered? You could hear the coaches screaming. Seems like league policy if a guy stays down that it gets reviewed, but sure would like to see that hit again.

Too bad the city tore down the old Carnegie Library downtown and put up a parking ramp.

Simple for me. I am not going to pay a lot of money to have to wear a mask, when I can stay at home and watch it on TV and breathe easy.

That’s what I saw too. Gaber not playing with Pinto was very noticeable.

Two shifts at the end of the period, and not one word from Heinert or Brandt. You would think our leading goal scorer would be noticeable when he isn’t playing, especially how active he is.

Funny, it turns out every single goal had two assists.

Thought it sounded very strange. I would guess the app will update it at some point.

In the CHN app it shows all 5 goals as unassisted. If true, when is the last time something like that happened with that many goals.

Portz named 1st star in his first game with Muskegon with 2 goals, 2 assists. Looks like Dane Montgomery played his first game with Waterloo in quite a while. I assume he was injured, anyone know the circumstances?

That's why I found it so funny when Ben Clymer was bragging up Minnesota before the Notre Dame series like nobody could skate with them because they had barely lost since the year prior before Christmas break. Funny how that coincides with playing non-conference games before Christmas and conference games after Christmas. And to think, he had made that statement about us rubbing it in just after Thanksgiving. Don't get me wrong, I think Minnesota is a very good team and has a defense that is top 3 in the country, but the way he made it sound, people would be lucky to skate with them.

Wonder if Ben Clymer is disturbed that Minnesota is “rubbing it in” , like he accused us of last year.

I completely agree. I even recall a few times where Mismash tried stick out his leg in reaction to a guy slipping by him. I thought how lucky he is that he barely missed. It is dangerous for both parties. I'd like to think that the coaches get on players on the bench when they see episodes like that both out of concern for safety of everybody involved and just how easily a five minute major and ejection can completely change the outcome of a game, and if it happens at tournament time, a season. Even if Chrona was trying to sell it, the officials look at intent as well, and Mismash looked like he thought being pushed gave him a free pass. Let's hope Mismash isn't as casual in regards to those issues in the future. He above all people knows how it feels to miss a good portion of a season because of someone's careless action.
