Someone who feels compelled to brag to strangers how much he makes probably isn't making it.

Is that you in the white jersey?

I think it would take more than that to get the sweep, goon. Cam will have to stop some odd man rushes and we would need a few bounces or deflections. The D's "game" just isn't what it was last year. They can definitely do it, but if both teams are playing their game, it will take some breaks to win them both.

Frenchy's. Now there's some memories. 2:00- 4:00 a.m. breakfast at the Hwy Host across the street.

I especially recall one gopher toss (sometime in 90 or 91), when somebody lobbed it out there and it made a nice long, slow, bloody slide toward the goalie before stopping about 8 feet in front of him. It was like it got quiet until it stopped, then the place exploded. Everybody was packed in at the Old Ralph, and it was pretty intense, as most here remember. Even in 1990, which was obviously not a banner year, though they had some serious offensive talent.

I would add that Bowen is really playing well. His speed and hustle are really contributing. Jost is the obvious big talent on the ice, but this freshman class is showing up to play, IMO.

Friend of mine was a badger chucker. He came from a farm and would throw them in the freezer spread eagle when he found one. They were easier to duck tape under his coat that way. He got busted once but didn't get banned for some reason. They knew him, though, and his courier days were over. It was a lot easier to pull off at the old Ralph with the students filling the lower seats by the glass on one side. Like a duck blind for chuckers.

He is. Complete hockey player.

;Young, fast and starting to gel. And well coached.

Because UND still has some flaws that raise their ugly heads from time to time. Mostly on D. .

I thought Boeser worked harder on D last year. Maybe it was having Schmaltz and Caggiula on the line.

this Hawks team is especially vulnerable to quick teams.

That's an angle I hadn't thought of.

I really like what Bowen is showing, though.

I agree. Of all the ways Berry could have gotten Tomek in a game, that was not the time, IMO.

Feel bad for Tomek, though. He needs some confidence, and he got thrown into a bad situation. .

A Blais-coached team would never give up 6 at home. Oh wait . . . .

I guess the bad ice joke missed its mark? Just trying a little comic relief.

Bad ice.

Had it not been against the Hawks, I'd have said it was a good call.

Good to have you posting here, MAC, and it's good to have Miami in the NCHC. Yes, hoping for an exciting series. One ending with a TCoS.

It's been very good for me. But I'm a very nice guy and deserving of such things.

Michigan has only won three in the last 60 years, two since 1965. Half a century. Michigan's hockey greatness is an archeological dig.

I'm sure you're right about that.

I'm sure you are right on that.
