Get on it, Speez!

Tucson? Geez, I can think of a ton of reasons why I wouldn't want to live in that ghetto crap-hole of a city.

I'd be fine with ASU joining the NCHC, even if it was temporary. It's going to take many years (decade?) before there would be enough PAC12 teams to start a D1 hockey program. You need plenty of infrastructure + millions in donations to make the jump to D1...and that's assuming that they already have a hockey program to begin with.

I'm ALL for this. Simply because that would make an easy 30min drive to see the Sioux in person when they visit ASU.

Why decommit and then still take a visit? That's weird. If you don't like the place after your visit, then maybe decommit (if that's your thing).

That all changes next weekend with the much-hyped #1 vs #2 in the PWR matchup between Mankato and Tech! I'm sure a few TV stations will be trying hard to get that matchup televised.

I actually thought that Murphy had 2-3 excellent scoring chances. He just needs to capitalize on a few of those if he wants to be put in the lineup consistently.

Impressive run that Tech is on! I could see their first loss coming next weekend against Mankato or 2 weekends later against Duluth. I wouldn't be surprised to see MTU #1 in the polls this week with UND #2.

We can sure hope so!

I think that is just what "dynasty" programs do.

That's what my 1yr old says. Just yell for your mom and she'll get right on that.

Really? Yeah, I'm sure the coaches and captains are all just sitting around picking their noses before the games. These guys have played a boatload of games in their careers, it's not like they need a Herb Brooks MOI speech prior to every game in order to "get up" for it. Miami simply executed better in the early part of the game. Enrico must have told them to stop picking their noses sooner than Hak did tonight.

BSU outshot them 36-22 but came up short.

Excellent win for Duluth and the NCHC.

Simple question(s).

That's from Schloss' blog. Good to hear that Mac is skating/practicing again.

No MacMillan? No LaDue? No NSchmaltz? Ouch. Getting a bit brutal.

They'll have them on the Coaches Show with Dave Hakstol too. I believe that airs on Wednesday each week.

It's get much tougher the rest of November though. Home against Miami On the road against SCSU Home against UNO If they can come out of that stretch with only a couple more losses or less, I'd be very satisfied.

5-1 Final Sweep in Madtown. Undefeated on the road thus far. Good weekend!

Leading the nation in shorties. We've got to be up there in dman scoring as well...

Another Dman goal! Ausmus! 5-1

Both Schloss and Jayson on the live blog said that LaDue's injury is nothing long-term.

Man did Union hit the skids. They won 5 straight to open the season and now they are on the brink of losing 5 straight.
