  1. 1. I have been a vocal critic of Lapoint in the past, but he is definitely NOT our weakest defenseman going into this weekend. No way that I even consider sitting him.

    2. Forbert and Simpson need reps to get better, but they both got man handled last weekend. Second half of a potential championship season means no excuses...I don't care if it is their first rodeo. Rotate those two for the rest of the year until one steps up.

    2.B. Developing Forbert and Simpson is very important for the program. We need to continue being the best college hockey program for NHL development if we want to continue getting the top end talent. The program is superordinate to all.

    3. Lammy. Wow, I would not ever, ever consider benching Lammy. Lammy is a team guy and an energy guy. You need that type of player to keep things loose and keep guys motivated. Lammy is a pure role player, and he plays his role perfectly. He isn't out there to make sick plays or score a bunch of goals. He's not even out there to hit. He is out there as a changeup and a grinder who doesn't quit on anything. To quote Hak: he practices and plays like he hasn't made the team yet. Enough said.

    4. Blaiser. Will get a warm welcome. He lived in the community for 30 years and brought us our last titles. I will always revere him.

    5. Trupper. Agree that he is just awesome and fun to watch. If he were 6-2 205 he'd be in the NHL.

    6. Pony Express. I agree that our top line is as physical and skilled as the most physical lines and the most skilled lines in the country. No pun intended here, but we need to ride them the rest of the year.

    7. Health. Gregoire back is huge. He is a big part of our special teams, and is our best two-way forward. He is such a smart hockey player and he has good hands. Paired with Knight, the line becomes a killer for opponents d corps to manage. Especially if you are putting your best defensive and most physical D out against the Malone line.

    8. Hexy. Also a team guy. I am not exactly sure where he fits though. I actually like him on the energy line as a scoring threat rather than on a scoring line as the agitator, but Hak knows best. I'd like him with Lammy and Davidson as the energy line.

    9. Cichy. Either Michael is hurt or has somehow displeased the coach in practice. He was getting special teams time earlier in the year. I'd consider trying to play him with Knight and Gregoire just to see what would happen.

    10. Kristo-Nelson-Rodwell. I want to see this scoring line 3. Young, skill, and speed with Rodwell's physicality. I like this combo.

    11. Marto-back to D with his (life) partner Lapoint. Collectively they are the experienced d pairing we need.

    I agree with all your points, but feel the need to add one. Eidsness needs to get some playing time. For all he did for us the past two seasons he deserves another shot and we probably will need him to be at the top of his game at some point this season.

  2. Mankato games have been shown in the Twin Cities on Comcast before...kind of the same way we get the Bemidji games here, looks like cable access production but who cares as long as you can see the game...

    Forecast now saying 8-12 inches...ugh, I do not want to miss the game or Mettlers!!

    According to my on screen tv listings, both games will be on comcast (local access) channel 13 in the northern suburbs.

  3. ha. Wouldn't that be fun?

    Side note, anyone know if the Friday game will be on at Senser's? I don't get CBS College Sports... though I'm thinking if I called Comcast

    maybe they'd be able to get that on my TV by tomorrow lol.

    If you called comcast they could have CBS College Sports on your TV before the call has ended.
