sorta made a good point there . . .

Grimaldi is a team player, so he will give it everything, but I think he is also aware that he has to show he can handle the physical game for the next level. Can't say P Kane hits much, but Rocco knows he has to prove he can't be pushed aside.

This team still has a long ways to go. But they have faced some very good teams the last 3 weeks, and that will help.

Just as soon be a man short when their goalie is pulled.

I think they just pissed down their leg.

Watching this game makes me wonder how it would look if we played BC. And another thing I think of watching this team is how lucky we were to have Ryan Duncan and how he could bury the puck when he got a look.

Grimaldi playing well tonight at least

By that time, yzer will be a gopher fan.

I don't miss physicality, but they're wasting speed they have. Seems like they are always passing to a stationary target.

You may be right, and it sure looks like this team is often a step late getting to the puck, but I think it's just as much about our guys always reacting to instead of dictating play, and that is not necessarily form lack of effort. They haven't found a style or scheme that fits them yet.

I lost my credibility long ago--you just lost the last of yours.

It could easily be said that Blais has laid an egg at UNO.

Were you living in Mongolia at the time?

Something like that. They have a little bit of a different talent package than Hak is used. to. Before the season started, many were thinking this might be a BC-like team, smaller but quicker with some good hands in the mix. I personally think it is a challenge for Hak to establish a scheme and roles that match the roster. He is not exactlyh a loosey-goosey kind of guy. But there are a lot of people on this site with far more hockey knowledge who will disagree I'm sure.

this isn't a Blais thing. He has done very little at UNO.

We're all gonna die

Big time expectations after we'd seen them play a couple of months their freshman year. They have speed, but it doesn't seem to be coming to the top in the system they're running.

Is it a defensive strategy when our guys glide the last few strides to the puck when it's anywhere along the wall? We seem to let the other player get first control then try to neutralize him, but it doesn't always work that way and we seem to be chasing a lot.

The bubble seems optimistic about now.

4 on 3. Time for some good chances and sustained pressure.

This team has the potential to be an up tempo team, but they sure get beat to pucks a lot.

Still wondering about that comment? Think A Beautiful Mind.

Gotta disagree with that. We've had plenty of talent (and speed)

The thing that has always frustrated me about our breakout scheme is how looooooong the Dmen hold on to the puck before they pass up ice, and then the forward has a guy all over him.
