I believe it's still in tryout phases in MN so I will wait until games start before I answer that definitively, as I paid zero attention to the Elite League this fall. Haha. I think the first batch of games are around Thanksgiving weekend.

I'm gonna guess we don't see Panzarella this weekend unless we run out of d-men too...

They've taken kids Schmaltz's age before (Jason Zucker, Jack Campbell recently come to mind), I just don't know how much he's on the radar for that team this year. I personally think he should be with the kind of international success he has had. If not this year, next year for sure.

Exactly what I said, that they have no clue about how travel is "out west." He claims with our 3 million plus in ticket profits last year that we should fly everywhere apparently. Apparently not flying to Omaha was doing our student athlete's a "disservice."

I'm currently arguing with a BU fan about why we'd take a bus to Omaha when we make soooooo much money in ticket profits and can afford to fly. Yes. Because BU fans know so much about 7 hour road trips like this one.

Agreed! Call me crazy, but I'm going to guess all those boys find winning fun. Suggesting they're not having fun is just crazy talk.

Rude people.

Rude.

Oh, I will be at the game on Saturday, so clearly this means we will win Haha.

They beat DU in back to back OT games so you could argue those games could have easily gone the other way as well. *and I think you mean Saturday/Sunday since there's no game Friday

We definitely would lead the league in penalties with them here

I've turned the page. I'm mentally preparing for Omaha now. Feel free to join me!

Would you feel better if I told you Omaha is last in Penalty Kill? And looking at power play, statistically every team except UNO and Denver have worse power plays than ours. In league play, only 3 teams have PP percentage in the DOUBLE DIGITS.

We are near the bottom of the league in penalty minutes. Omaha, on the other hand...

That is a good joke.

Coming on a message board after a loss to a good team to say the team sucks is not being very supportive. Choose your words more carefully. You can be critical and still have faith and be supportive. They struggled this weekend. That's all you can say 6 games into the season.

"Fans"

No.

That a Slash = "Good defensive play" according to our TV announcers.

Are you for real?

My webcast logs me out every 2 minutes, and when it's not doing that, my wireless internet decides it doesn't want to work. And then the HDMI cord we bought was faulty, so we crowded around a laptop trying to watch a game. This is bothering me today.

2 years, ago: game 2. We lost to Boston College.

No. After MN Elite League, a lot of guys get in a few games before HS hockey season starts. I'm gonna say that is the case here too.

I don't know why more Minnesota people don't hate Boston College... Oh, must be because BC always tend to leave their big boy breezers in Boston more often than not when they fly west to play some hockey. EDIT: I'm still bitter about BC never having to come play in a West Regional because Jerry York whined about losing to CC in St Louis 3 years ago.

I'm happy about going to Omaha next weekend because it'll be the cheapest road trip I've ever been on. Having friends in Omaha has it's perks. No hotel costs!
