Canisius is hemorraging too. Six guys already have gone pro. Okay, okay, they were all seniors.

I certainly do. Watched the game in person. Plans were to drive home after the game ended but it kept going on and on and on ... Lake Placid is a great setting for hockey.

That's alot of recruiting mistakes - or perhaps coach ego. Or maybe he's doing the Mike Eaves roster construction method (half the roster is seniors once every four years, and that's the year you go for Hardware).

Probably to beat the traffic. PS. +1 for a great setup line.

You are underestimating the arrogance of U-Minnesota and U-Michigan hockey fans.

Thanks. I have it on mute while also watching the UND game. I've made fun of how bad their attendance has been this season but tonight Mariucci is quiet as a graveyard. Time for U of Minnesota to just put hockey out of its misery.

What's up?

As it relates to JBD, I'd like to think the "clear his head" line was code for "he has a nagging minor injury that we're going to let heal up before the playoffs start".

I think we match up better vs Western Michigan than Denver. Plus Todd Anderson is retired, so our odds of a road win increased ever so slightly.

Herald coverage of Kennedy has been pretty one-sided against. I can't help but be suspicious of their political motives.

While the game is 5x5 (and the score is even), we look pretty solid. We can't get into a special teams battle with these guys.

I thought it was a horse bleep call on Rhett. If that's a cross check, then it should be called 150 times per game.

Watching the last 10 minutes of CC vs Western Michigan. CC really looks good, creating many good scoring chances. WMU getting nothing. Still 4-4, late 3rd.

Another Friday night with good team play. Really well coordinated, covering for each other and reacting to what your linemates are doing. With a lead, we actually look pretty good. (Conceding the first goal is a different story.) I'm not happy that UMD got away with a couple minors that should have put us up 5x3 late in the game. Reffing the scoreboard - argh. Congrats guys! Lets do it again tomorrow.

Well both, but I was thinking his coaching is what we miss now.

I think our goaltending misses Goehring.

Can anyone explain to me why UMD's arena looks half full? (pretty much every game it seems that way)

On the positive side, it seems we've got a powerplay threat: Kawaguchi from the Ovechkin spot. Now we just need to consistently get him the puck.

Next man up.

I'm glad they looked at the hit on Gardner. In live motion it looked like a possible head hit.

CHN live box says 7-6 Western

Our next three games are against ranked opponents, so we'll be fine. We just have to convince the team somehow that the next four are against ranked opponents.

We seemed to be a little less predictable in the offensive zone. Maybe my imagination, maybe its just what Western was giving us, but we looked a little more willing to concede possession to try for a scoring chance. (For example the old fashioned centering pass .from behind the net .. which almost always goes through traffic.)
