Union does have a very good webcast, from the camerawork to the play-by-play. So many camera crews just don't get it right with hockey.

What are you drinking, joker?

Waiting for my man, Gornall, to step up tonight. Grind and hustle down low, force a turnover for a goal. Just maybe bag a hat trick.

Have to give Union the edge on this one. Hope for something else.

And at least one assist per game.

Tell me a guy who remembers his mom that way won't be a great back-checker. Seriously, Tyson brings it on the ice, and now we have a little better idea of what he brings off the ice.

And most of us really value Miami's presence in the conference.

I've seen a lot of hockey players who have great hands who also have a very good short game in golf.

I wonder if he's a good golfer. That skill often transfers to a great short game.

Maybe, but I'd love to have him.

Sure as hill isn't our strength of schedule, is it? I don't see us losing by more than 2 if we lose. Will probably be close, though our D better be good.

I'm not sure I understand that comment--I'd be a lot worried. According to the PWR, they are better than we are and will be favored, especially in their barn and without Boeser and Jost. Or are you worried we will get our arses handed to us?

And I'm sure you could have scored 40 if you'd wanted, being the generous guy you are.

I hope you don't have kids who play sports. We've all seen that parent. I also hope I never have to sit by you at a game. We've all seen that fan. btw Tell us your name and where you played organized hockey, and let us be the judge of how good you were.

Now that one hit home, dang it, Goon.

We may have scored 5 Friday, but several of those goals would not be in the net most games. Most nights, we are not 4 goals better than that team.

I think most of us see it that way, Hovey. To go deep, they will need Cam to be locked in--without that, it cannot happen. But that is not an unrealistic hope.

True as well, Cratter--there is that side of it. But the part of college hockey which makes it special to me is not that part.

It's a game. Played by kids. They may make the tourney, they may not. But they will do their level best, and I'm going to enjoy the game and their effort whether they get there or not. And that's not settling for less; it's just recognizing what a good game this is and how fortunate we are to have this team to cheer for.

For a joke, it sure lit up the red lights on the christmas tree. Must have been the profanity.

Fark it. I'm becoming a gopher fan.

One thing I noticed on the PP tonight is that when the D did get the puck they did not move laterally with the puck to create shooting lanes. Just about every shot from the blue line was blocked.

It's not all UND. WMU is big but they can skate. UND without Boeser and Jost is no more talented than WMU.

Agreed. We should be grateful we have players of that caliber and will continue to have them. We have the talent to win this game without Jost, and It will do some of those guys good to know they can.

I hope you are right. Their weakest link appeared to be in net. I just think Cam kept us in the game in the first and we got some long goals last night. I have to say, though, that I think our coaches would be seeing red if our boys let down after getting behind as theirs appeared to do last night.
