The Ruck brothers have 7 points between them tonight and done for the night for a skirmish with 8 minutes left. Both are closing in on 100 points on the season, one with 98 and the other with 97.

We’ve had our problems with Bemidji State.

He did that earlier this year. Can’t remember all the guys on that line, but Josephson was a key at center.

Makes you wonder if the Wild encouraged him to go that route, as last year it appeared he wasn’t interested in the college route, or maybe he had to take care of some transcripts to meet eligibility requirements.

So many great players with access to Major Junior players, so top teams are bound to get their share. Hopefully we are in on even bigger names.

I show 10 DU players started the season in the NHL, and 13 UND players. Plus we have guys really producing like Blake, Nelson, Schmaltz, Pinto, Boeser and Sanderson, with the forwards either already at, or pushing for 20 goals. Other than Buium, which guys coached by Carle are making a huge impact? Brink?

Gotta love the support Duluth gets playing a rival in the playoffs!

Will be interesting to see if Gross and Burnevik run it back another year at St. Cloud or take a crack at the next level. I’m sure there is interest to sign them, as they are a formidable duo.

Just hope UND players are disciplined enough not to take a selfish penalty that could end their season.

What about “give it a rest” don’t you understand. That’s right, your comprehension level is minimal, so everything. Nevermind.

So we must be due to be bad for a long time then?

Agree, but in overtime you don’t even make that play to begin with, because even though it might not have been a major it was surely a penalty they should have called to begin with.

How many straight years have we had a winning record?

Why do you say that? Recruiting to there is similar to here, especially with Carle as coach.

Don’t want to see Sandelin whining about lack of calls next week, as his team has had so many calls go his way in his home rink.

Duluth scores in the final minute for the second straight night and gets a power play in overtime for the second straight night to possibly win on a power play again.

How do you leave Zam Plante alone at the net again?

They missed a nut check a couple weeks ago on Duluth as well.

How can you be an announcer and not know you can only look at a missed penalty for a major? Those Western announcers act like Western is a blue blood the way they go on, even about the attendance for a series on spring break where there are a lot of empty seats.

So fair weather fans like yourself?

I’m hoping for a Section 8 sweep of Minnesota state titles for the second straight year.

I have a feeling Bergeson is going to be a stud for Augustana.

This whole thing is a bad idea all the way around for that very reason, what will be acceptable and what won’t. Then it will get into the politics of any sponsor. Doesn’t make sense to go down this road.

Not our last national championship, but our 3 championships before that, we won both the conference and national championships. Sometimes it is about momentum and confidence. It is a fine line getting guys to realize your season can be over in an instance with one bad period, but sometimes a loss can hurt your confidence heading into the tournament as well.

I’m guessing the coaches know the numbers just wouldn’t work out with the future knowing Menghini will be the only Senior next year and you still have guys like Sanderson and ONeill in the pipeline, assuming both Ashton and Brock Schultz might be coming this fall. Bryn has probably been determining what we need to do to start evening out the classes, and been keeping tabs on each recruit.
