I would ammend this by saying you want to be in the top two to avoid having to play on thursday and possibly having to play 3 games in three days. which is stupid as no other conference does this I beleive.

89-90, they have the longest current streak. und has the second longest i believe.

we would also own the tiebreaker over them as well.

nothing that happened on sat night changed my opnion of what I had sat morning. minnesota is still by far the better team, I do feel our chances of winning the cup are out the window, we are struggling right now and I do not want to see minnesota again this season. only thing positive is we didn't get swept but on the other hand we didn't get a split either. you have the number one team down by two goals with less than 10 minutes to play and can't win doesn't say a whole lot for a team that is supposed to have the potential to do "special" things this season. a 4-4 tie doesn't mean you hang with the best, alll it says is you can't beat them. I see a 7-5 finish the rest of the regular season and that assumes we sweep the beavers.

which library does hakstol hang out at? does booing the team at the ralph count?

just a lttle side not on this, should quinnipiac and minnesota finish 1-2 in the parwise BC could very well be shipped out west. but that is for a conversation about 2 months down the road.

anything less than three points isn't going to cut it in the race for a top two spot in the league.

positives to come out of this weekend. we didn't get swept and looks like we move up in the pairwise as bu and notre dame are pissing around more than us.

and avoid giving up two bad goals in the first period.

IMHO UND is not very good right now since they came back from break. you are right in that titles aren't won in january, but they can be lost. anything short of a win tonight and for all intense and purposes we don't win the cup.

we need scoring ,not protection after the whistle.

hak must be feeling under the weather and it is clouding his judgement.

this has more to do than with what happened last night. look over the last few weeks, look at the types of goals he/they have allowed an x factor goalie doesn't let those types in game, after game.

if you keep the RPM line together it needs to be rocco, but hakstol refuses to do that.

for the first time in his what eight years as coach I am questioning the abilities of this staff. we are a team stuck in the mud and supposedly had this defense coach come in to shore up the troops which instead has turned our defense into a joke and no sight the "annual second half surge" in sight every looks so forward to. this is slowly turning into a debacle and I have little desire to watch the mariucci massacre tonight. like I said earlier at this moment I am ye of little faith.

like I said it neatralizes that line even before the game starts. I'm sure minnesota's confidence went up up even more, not that it needed to anyway.

we had chemistry before the break with mark mac on the top line and rocco, rowney and drake on a line. but after x-mas hak decided to blow everything and looks like we killed all chemistry we had and now we're are stuck hoping for our favorite squad to play a perfect game to have any chance at a win. what a great start to the second half.

not if your betting on minnesota

our top line has been neutralized even before the game starts with macmillian on it, he was brutal last night. and yes I am ye of little faith tonight.

only lineup changes according to undsid-gotherberg starting tonight and st. clair replaces gaarder on fourth line. mitch mac stays on the top line, whatever.

unless the score is in our favor

as for the title of this thread I'm going to say in the words of lee corso on this, not so fast my friend. we might as well start gothberg just to see what he is really made of cuz we're gonna give up 3-5 goals tonight no matter who starts tonight.

gothberg, st. clair and panzarella were the players who didn't suit up last night.

you can't bring everyone unless it is a non-conference series.

i don't think odonnell made the trip.
