Gotta go with Bruce. He's never wrong.

Not only that. Losing a game at this point can be a lesson and a motivator. As long as it's not a goalie confidence thing. For instance, you beat the other guy to the puck not only are you likely to gain possession, you're probably not going to commit a penalty. I like the way these boys are coached, but they were getting beat to pucks in the third, whether they were playing conservative hockey or they just didn't have the urgency Omaha did.

It would be nice. And I assume they are digitally recorded instantly.

Civil justice system as well. Boorish behavior is bad enough; boorish behavior that causes injury should be dealt with harshly.

Any site with a large corporate base will have a significant attendance advantage. Turnstile count--not so much.

Now stay healthy tomorrow and no game DQs

The boys played so well the last two weekends, and making sure they are healthy going into tournament time has got to help make those decisions conservative ones. I'm sure Berry places first priority on the medical experts, but when it's borderline, he will no doubt err on the side of long term health. Plus, if you are an elite program recruiting future NHLers, you better have the trust of players, their parents, and the NHL teams that you will protect the long term health of your players. Yeah, I know--that's all very obvious. But every once in a while a guy has to try to sound smart. Which never works.

Congrats, Goon, on your nephew winning National Player of the Month for Feb. You gotta be proud.

After only one year, I could tell Berry was not a guy who could get it done in the NCAA tourney.

Thx. They must do turnstile counts as well.

Is "attendance" attendance or tickets sold? No way the gophs have been filling 78% of seats. Is there?

These must be difficult times for you.

You mean because the team lost more talent in the off season than any other in the country and they were picked in the middle of the pack in the NCHC?

No, but it's the willingness to give it a shot that's cool.

No small matter, that.

Not me. I think there are some very important existential questions Sanderson should solve before he leaves. Do you think he is prepared to say what the meaning of life is, for starters? He should figure that shyt out now, while he has philosophy and lit professors available to help him. Oodles of money and puck bunnies galore will be of no use to him on those matters.

A lot of shiney faces after from face-washing?

It will be very interesting to see what game UNO brings this weekend. They must have played well last weekend.

Eeyore, you donkey!! Where you been? ,

This is true. A lot of fans from every base seem to need to be either ecstatic or pissed. Their team either wins with a great effort or loses because they did not put forth full effort. This team could get dumped in its first regional game. Even so, though, I think it's clear they care about winning and are playing close to their maximum potential. Can't expect much more than that.

If that happens Sandy will have to move in with gfhockey at his grandma's basement. Never would have thought that possible two years ago.

That's all fine, but they are still grindaz.

Sanderson seems to be a great kid and an obvious NHL talent. But it looks like the other players play with more urgency in his absence. More players are taking responsibility for the end result. If true, that's not his fault, just human nature. And it is fairly common in almost all sports, IMO. And these boys were missing 3 top talents, as you say. No question the rest of the team played with added intensity. Hopefully, they can learn from that.
