YES PLEASE! Take me out of my misery and keep walski out of the net during the game.

i'll suit up and take them all on... seriously though, I'd do it. I get angry enough in the stands and am ready to climb over the glass.

haha... maybe they felt bad and decided we need their help! lol (i know... it's not that funny)

I would also like to say it's my personal opinion that if frattin doesn't start to do something he should not be on that line with trupp and gregoire, in fact i don't know if he should be in the lineup until he can DO SOMETHING. i'd rather they put someone else there because i see good things from those 2, but they are missing the third piece. Yes, please play fienhage.

I think everyone at the Ralph now agrees with that statement. Everyone was excited to see Eidsness get put in the game.

Besides Dylan Olsen, does anyone know any other recruits that are here this weekend? I heard there was a bunch in the press box tonite.

Just got home from the game. My thoughts: Well... the last 2 minutes were very promising. If only we had scored sooner... The high points: when Eidsness took over (loud cheers), when Davey Toews drew the CFB call and got the kid ejected, and the last 2 minutes. I'm hoping this was a learning experience for the coaches that eidsness should be our goalie. i have no doubts about that. Looking forward to tomorrow. hopefully we can score some goals a bit sooner. Everything else sucked.

Apparently Dylan Olsen is on campus visiting this weekend... I don't know much about him, just that we're recruiting him and he's here...

So, yes. Alaska is pretty, apparently. But, when people crack jokes about it, I think it has more to do with the fact that it is WAY up there, kind of by itself, all alone. Basically, it's a totally different world. North Dakota is a a bore. If there wasn't hockey here, I'd probably struggle to survive, to be honest. So, that said, people from Alaska live in their own little delusional bubble...haha. it's all in fun i swear.

in regards to trupp, i think leave him on the line with gregoire and toews and he'll get going. he was with frattin and malone before and those two just haven't done anything this year... keep him with gregoire. As for toews, he hasn't played much so far, so I'd expect him to get going somewhat in the near future... it might take a while since he has played like, what 4 games in the last 7 months or so? The 3 of them on a line have a lot of potential.

Earlier in the week, I asked Duncan about his take on his linemates and why the combo works and one thing he said that stuck out was that they were creating a lot of opportunities, but needed to be better at finishing. I think they accomplished that this weekend.

ignoring the negativity in this post. SIOUX SWEEP...(I'm sending the team a get well soon card...lol -- it will help haha)

Despite the 7-4 score...It was a good effort...very good. I'm proud of the boys. They did everything they could do given the circumstances. I don't know a lot of teams that would have the heart to just go out there so short handed with players and compete like that. I'm glad they flew fienhage in... that was a good decision. I say never leave an extra d-man at home. EVER. Especially considering we were already short before we left. Looking forward to next weekend! We're coming around! I can feel it...

Miller is inconsistent. When he plays well, he's great, but when he plays bad, we're screwed! some guys i can't always tell when they have an off night, but miller i can tell right away. that's my beef with him. He could very well be sitting in the press box every night in my opinion b/c of his inconsistencies. We are searching for consistency after all.

um...harrington and davidson? I'm purely speculating. I know both didn't make the trip to mankato a few weeks back. I honestly have no idea, but that would be my guess.

DITTO!

You know... if you think about it, with low expectations, you'll be even more excited if those low expectations are exceeded Personally, I won't be surprised either way. I was hoping finley would be back b/c let's face it... chay needs him. so it'll be interesting to see if we can finish on some of our scoring opportunities we've had. because they've been there, we just can't complete them. cc's brick wall, bachman, will be tough to crack though. we shall see. Oh, and if jason gregoire wants to continue to score goals, that'd be excellent.

Chartier is also a good buddy of jason gregoire's. He ended up in lincoln because jason and his dad asked the lincoln coaches to give him a look and I guess he impressed them in camp. He's 17, so stll could develop some. Potential's there I think.

The more memorable one was the one with trupp and gregoire on the same unit. I don't remember who all was on it. I do know that they need to keep those two together. Trupp assisted on both of gregoire's goals this weekend. As for Kozek --I'm sure it's tough to decide who is going to be on the units. I'd take it up with someone who has some influence on that decision, b/c i sure as hell don't.

I think the coach's know who the best powerplay guys are. And Martens should have played in the saturday game. I will keep it zipped who I think should have been up in the press box. Also, Kozek is great... and he can score goals. But that's it really. Truth be told he doesn't get many assists, he just gets goals. There's only so much room in the powerplay. I wouldn't be surprised if we see him there at some point in the future though. Of course, this is all just my opinion.

Hextall's a decent player. But yes, don't know about the top line for him. Toews I think they are trying to figure out where he fits in. He has only played 2 games. Defense should be a focus in practice this week... because it was awful in the third period. We don't have a brick wall in goal yet to bail us out like we did last year. Oh, and Miller needs to be more consistent if he wants to be in the lineup every night, i don't think he played well tonight.

words can't describe how much i love jason gregoire.... he definitely came alive this weekend. he's definitely the standout of the freshman class thus far. hopefully his classmates will be able to get something going in the coming weeks as well...

i think there's a few that could use a benching... Also, I don't care what some say, I CANNOT WAIT FOR FINLEY TO COME BACK! Like him or not, his experience is needed on the blue line.

I agree... the officiating was AWFUL. we also noticed how often wisco complained to the refs. maybe they started to feel bad for them. (ok, maybe not lol). Anyways, there were some horrible calls... hopefully the boys can bounce back next weekend.

I was wondering the exact same thing... the only thing i could think of was that someone shoved it down their pants or something or if they were wearing a costume they could have shoved it somewhere.
