Read Romeo and Juliet, Act II, Scene ii, lines 43 and 44. Then have someone explain them to you.

I have to say I don't quite understand. We knew when this season began that we would have less talent at forward than we have had for a long time. We were average. So it goes the way most people knew it could go (not would but could), and we are falling all over ourselves trying to find blame. I understand disappointment, but . . .

I haven't seen games in person this year, but the game really seems to be slowing down for Kaw. Is that a fair statement for you guys who have been at the games. TV is great, but you don't see a lot.

Aside from trouble getting into the zone on the PP, this year they just don't have a puck possession player at forward. Major difference from recent past

Is this the weeping and gnashing of teeth thread?

Prescient of you.

Well if we'd scored first it would be worse. We'd all be moaning how we were going to blow a lead again.

this is really the ideal test for the team, given where they are. If they can't win here, they have no right to ask for favors.

When I think of real good defensive defensemen at UND, I think Matt Jones.

For every complaint that we don't attract high-end talent anymore, we need acknowledge that developing players so they can leave early (to a pro contract) will help make the program more appealing to high end talent. It hurts short term, but the benefits are surely there for future recruiting. Unless I'm wrong.

Looks to me like Hovey had a good point.

Mankato losing was a very big deal, wasn't it?

As long as our destiny is in our own hands, you can't ask for much more. We haven't played like a tournament team much of the time this seasonr, so having to prove ourselves this coming weekend is fair, IMO.

I hope we get DU or SCSU then. If we can't beat them next weekend there is no reason to think we can beat them in the tourney. And playing CC has little upside. They showed last year at times and again this year that they can be dam tough, yet beating them might not give us anything. All risk little gain with them. Bring on SCSU.

So playing CC or Miami next weekend would do us no good? We're also pulling for Denver and St. Cloud for next weekend?

If BC beats BU and we lose the first game next weekend can you tell if BC jumps us?

Maybe so, but I expected it as soon as he took the guy out. It's just a call they are apt to make now.

Last part of the first period carrying over to the second.

they were losing puck battles the last part of that period. Hope that doesn't continue.

how big was Cam"s save?

Cam was amazing last night. Weninger not so much.

They were outplayed for much of the third period tonight.

they played just as hard last week.

they had chances like this last weekend too, but couldn't convert.

Where's Sparky??
