This team swept Blais' team, which doesn't mean much.

Game of Thrones

If I were a neutral observer, I'd say that WM is the better team so far. Not that our boys are dogging it--they aren't. But Michigan is really working and anticipating.

An awful slide like that will certainly help cause a coach to lose control, but I don't think lack of control caused it.

Best team poorly coached?

Eaves has to have better control than that. Has to.

Works for me. 3 on 3 is entertaining, but it's not the game they play.

In the end this is all about dykswinging, so they should just pull them out. Have each team designate their guy. They'd have to require that guy to log a minimal amount of ice time, of course--say 3 minutes, That would open up one roster spot on each team for a regular guy with ordinary hockey skills but a python in his breezers. Probably be a crowd favorite, and his three minutes on the ice would be entertaining.

The hits were bad. Even most Badger fans agreed, especially the Wittchow hit.

I played in the wooden stick era, and guys would add curve. The test I saw used on the ice (Canadian rinks, I think) was seeing if a dime could pass under a straight edge between the heel and the toe. That's not much curve, but those are olden days. Not much toe-dragging with straight blades.

Was he standing next to Karl?

Jake was giving Adam props last night, which seemed strange.

Thank you, Goon.

Poganski is really playing big. Surely you didn't think the team would never have off nights. The Circus had lost 6 games at this point in the schedule in 1987. The boys had a soft 1/2 schedule and have a long way to go, but they have been extremely consistent

Only dropped one in the pairwise. Lucky: you probably drop that much just by playing CC. Though it is pretty obvious they are not the same team we played last fall. SCSU can attest to that.

Yeah, come to think of it, things were pretty gummed up last night.

We haven't seen many soft goals so far this season. Three tonight.

Wow. Blais gets swept by Western Michigian, swept at home by Denver, and now beaten at home by Miami. Hot seat in Omaha?

We know you're frustrated, but really?

I don't mind Hammer, but he's obviously not loaded up top, Cliché prone. Tonight virtually everything is about breaking scoring droughts.

Hammer and Jake must be burning one--they got the giggles.

That's just for the bunnies.

Pretty hard to argue against that group. Jones was one of my favorite pure defensemen we've had.

Boy, when you look at our lineup to see how they we will fill injury holes and you see those 6 Dmen, you realize how loaded we are on the blue line. I don't remember a 6-man crew this good. Maybe better 2 or 3, but not the whole crew, IMO.

I hope we don't get gutted this summer. UND always reloads, but a lot could happen.
