he may have made the trip, but I'd be surprised if we saw him in any other role than as an emergency fill in on sat.

Bachman out for the weekend along with CC's top line?

with our pp struggling and cc's pk on fire along witht he fact we've had other issues scoring and bachman not allowing much over 1 goal a game-CC 4-1,5-2.

you still have your obama/biden sign up?

sorry. this is the same outfit that screwed us on the mankato webcasts isn't it?

anyone know if there will be a webcast or on tv?

BE should be in net both nights as I don't blame him for the loss on saturday as he wasn't given much help. that being said Hak said this numerous times over the past few years a teams best penalty killer is it's goaltender and BE still needs to develop into that. I'm much more concerned about the defensive lapses we had on Sat and Friday for that matter. Any chance that when Finley comes back to move Genoway to forward where he would be a much betetr help to this team instead of being a pylon that skaters just go around.

however the sign of a good team is to pull out a win when even when the other team looks more impressive then you. cc did that.

I don't have a good feeling about this weekend. CC is the No. 1 team in the country for good reason and some of our early struggles wil play into their hands. we'll need to score at least 3 goals to beat them and bachman isn't giving up 3 goals in a weekend. if DU struggled to score against them I can only imagine our problems. our pp woes could very well continue as cc has killed off something like 64 of 66 penalties so far. we will be lucky to get a point this weekend as you add our offensive woes and the fact we traditionally don't play well out there and this could be a very ugly weekend.

will this be something where they call a lot of penalties early in the season and then go back to their old ways? I remeber a couple of years ago there were some new rule changes implemented and it only lasted about a month. so we'll have to wait and see.

I'm cautiously optimistic about this series against the badgers. I would loved to say sweep but I think a spilt is more likely. it's just been our nature in the first half of previous seasons. I like the momentum coming out of mankato but we've struggled at home against the badgers recently and during hak's regime there have been numerous occasions in which we've come out flat and not matched the opponents intensity. hopefully that isn't the case this weekend as you know bucky will come out flying.

I've watched DU play 3 times this year and they look really,really good. They are the best team to date so far I've seen. Good thing we don't play them until January as it gives us some time to get our defense and goaltending straightened out because they can bring it offensively.

we're 3 for 3 on our last three pp's. let's hope that trend continues next weekend and we'll be very successful.

it's odd but I have one ticket available for fri night againstt he badgers lower bowl nine rows up behind goal we shoot at twice. anyone want it pm me.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned yet or not but Wisconsin's Ben Street could be out 3 months or longer with a knee injury.

this thread has gone down the toilet. goon said it best in his blog with the old saying "he that is without sin among you, let him cast a stone.....".

We get them in March too.

I'm glad we have this weekend off it will give the guys some more time to gel together as passes were still of a bit. I am very pleased with last night if not a little surprised as third period comebacks are not common in the Hakstol regime this only being the 4th I believe. BE IMHO earned the start next friday against the badgers. this was a start in the right direction and hopefully they can build off it. it might be early to say this but the two games against the badgers are going to be huge, we can't continue are recent woes against the badgers at the ralph 0-4-1 in the last five. the old saying goes split ont he road and sweep at home. we've done the road part(WCHA play anyway) now let's work on doing the home part.

WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DUNCAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

enough of the negativity(myself included) my heart says one thing my mind says another. I'll go with my heart Sioux 4-3 BE gets his first win.

how is a tax plan going to protect a business from a corporate giant?

as much as I like Duncan, I think he should have gone pro. after watching him this year so far through three games plus the exhibition-his stock is going to drop off the boards. he does look slow and right now isn't bringing much to the table. I hate to admit it but after seeing him so far his success was truly a by product of being with oshie and toews. I was always hoping he could do something by himself-so far I am wrong. maybe that will change in two months. why not move him down to a second to fourth line because he is not a top line performer anymore, sadly.

I can live with BE going through some ups and downs as long as he gets to be consistent. what I can't live with is no offense production from non freshman players and the defensive lapses that have led to numerous goals this season so far.
