True enough, but Lucia's first duty is to his current employer. If he had his druthers, they probably would travel to more NC rinks. Don't know that, of course.

UND FIGHTING HAWKS @ SCSU Huskies - Saturday Gameday
burd replied to AZSIOUX's topic in Men's Hockey
We all wear colored glasses, even when we try to take them off. I think UND fans are pretty good at recognizing when we are outplayed, all in all. Competitive, though. -

The Hawks got thoroughly beaten last night, and it would be easy to argue they outplayed UND on Friday. If I'm a Husky fan, I'm feeling pretty good about it. Right now, I'd say SCSU is the better team. That will change, hopefully. -

I meant that comment in a teammate kind of way, not as criticism. Looks like you understood that. -

You gotta let go of the refs thing, bc. We got handled tonight by St. Cloud, not the refs. -

I'd have to agree. You play dumb, don't expect any favors. -

That "finishing the check" contact is often unnecessarily late IMO. -

I don't think the first was necessarily soft. That's a tough deflection off the dman's leg -

Hawks eat gophers, don't they? -
Bemidji is where it gets tricky.

I kind of share this feeling. I'm really an H fan, knowing his story, but he's got to steady himself if he's going to carry us. One thing that characterized UW's goalies when Bill Howard was coaching them was solid positioning. They rarely seemed to be making acrobatic saves because they were so good at maintaining position. UND has had some great goalies too, and I'm sure Karl is an excellent coach, but it's probably hard to change a goalie's style when he's three years into college play. That said, H has done exactly what we needed him to do, and that's a great story.

Absolutely. And that kind of hustle by the "stars" affects the team culture in a big way.

In reviewing our goals, it's hard to believe Caggiula got so much room in front of their net. If he ever gets to the NHL, it's going to be a whole lot different lifestyle in front of the net. Getting a hatty in Cloud is a big deal. The thing that makes the CBS line so dominant is that all three of them can maintain possession and are also great passers. With the D we have, they can do their thing and not worry so much about getting caught in an odd man rush the other way. That line would always be poison for the other side, but I'm not sure they would be this dominant without those dmen we have behind them. Great game to watch. I hope the other matches with the better NCHC teams are this entertaining.

Looks like he has a nice glove and is quick. Not what you'd call a calm goalie though. You'd have to call him a winner, though, and that's all we can ask for.

Especially when we were losing faceoffs all night.

H sure flops around a lot out there, but the man gets it done.

It actually started out as Holey Roaming Empire, but they could never win the big one, so they changed the name. Wow, business ethics for 500 is a gamble. Good luck with that.

There are some very deep dudes here.

I'm changing my mind--I'm going with 808287. We can change, right?

I guess my all time favorite would be In A Gadda Da Vida. Discuss

I recall seeing a Bobcat game or two way back in the 60s. It must be a very well-managed organization.

It would be cool if they could produce pregame videos focusing on one or a couple players for each game. Trupp night would get the crowd fired up for his night. Diving back-checks, diving goals, rushing up the ice with the puck on his stick. I miss the guy like I miss Sparky.
-
I didn't notice, but I watched the video, and you almost have to be at the rink to evaluate that stuff. He forechecks aggressively, and on Friday night he made a Trupp-like backcheck play that probably saved a goal. But, like I say, I wasn't there to watch his play away from the puck.
