Good to see the penalty minutes down, but when they start playing faster, more skilled opponents, they will be more apt to get those hooking, tripping and holding penalties. Unless they keep their feet moving and skate with them.
He should sit down with that guy who does color for Hennessey and explain why it is a bad thing to constantly interrupt the play-by-play. Especially when that play-by-play guy is Tim H.
Can I say it, though? There's just a little bit of me that misses that goofball Hammer. What does that say about burd and the game of hockey?!
Clean hits. And not much of the cross check, face wash, stick penalty crap that we've gotten from players who aren't smart or disciplined enough to avoid those things.
BSU has done well. I remember when UND was about the only D1 school that would travel there, and it's good we continue that, IMO. They have certainly proven to be worthy opponents.
It is encouraging. But two greasy goals--if we hadn't gotten those and they potted one, everybody would be saying what a pile of crap game we were playing. It's just really hard to assess play without taking score into account. I get that score is all that counts; I'm just saying we feel good when we're winning, and that affects how we see the play.
