I like the look of those lines.
That 3rd d-pairing will give us a glimpse of next season's defense...as the four in front of them are probably all gone.
Farmer sitting is a surprise.
I would guess we'll be behind at some point this weekend. And I wouldn't be surprised if they drop a game.
I'd love to see a couple of statement games for us though. Get the swagger back a little.
Agreed.
Asking any team to go 10-0 or 9-1 when they play the top two teams in that span is asking too much, let alone being a team that hasn't swept a conference opponent all year.
Autobid is the best bet at this point...try to play into the 5th/6th spot in the NCHC to avoid going to SCSU or DU in the 1st round.
Then cross your fingers.
Looks like we have a winner.
I feel bad for 6. Kid needs some playing time if he's gonna be getting some big minutes next season.
Unless the coaches already know that he's gonna be getting those minutes at another program.
Good news, Schmaltz will be back:

Also a bit on Montgomery. Wonder what the heck kind of injury he suffered. Hopefully he can make a comeback either this season or next
I'd love to see a sweep this weekend, but this team just can't close out a weekend.
Case in point, the home Miami series in November.
Throttle them on Friday, 7-1. And then lose 4-3 on Saturday.
Speaking of Perron. He looks small and shifty. I like it. Pair him with Blake and Gaber (should he return) and they could do some damage as long as they could play the defensive side as well. Our core group of younger forwards should be very good over the next couple years...if the coaches can figure out the goaltending and defensive woes, we could see some good teams.
