  1. I mean, Mankato has typically propped up the conference when it comes to non-conference for years. We lost our top 9 scorers either through graduation, leaving early or going in the transfer portal in addition to all 3 coaches, the hockey ops and strength and conditioning coach. To put the player in context, the 3 that went to wisconsin have 23 goals and 65 points. As for the rest of the conference, tech shat the bed. BG had a police investigation a week or two before the season. Nmu lost a few guys and are badly underachieving. Msu is still in 1st place (Granted we have a couple games in hand, so that plays into it. Just goes to show how important one or two teams are in non-conference results.
  2. Weird game, I never felt like bsu was really in the game though. Lots of outside shots. First goal was a Maverick player being checked into the goalie and laying on top of him while the goal was scored. The tone was set there. Between that, an extremely good cross ice pass, a breakaway goal and an empty netter, the goalie didn't play badly. Msu just took advantage of opportunities
  3. There is a 2 ton chip on the shoulder.of these guys. You could hear it in some of the quotes from Sam Morton this summer. That dude is the definition of a leader. It's unfortunate that all our Pairwise building Games are at the beginning of the year because I see this team like the sandelin teams where they build throughout the year and peak at the end. I'm not predicting a national championship, but I do believe they are going to get stronger and stronger as the year goes on.
  4. I.mean, we were 0-14 on the weekend. Now, I will say, you can definitely see there is a lack of chemistry that's just going to take some time. It will get better. I'm certain of that.
  5. There are a few that have them, but not many. I've always thought it would be awesome to have a stadium full of cowbell ringing at once. I can only imagine how annoying it would be.
  6. Strangely enough, I thought msu played better this last weekend than against scsu. Defense was very good Saturday, Friday got away from them when they were taking risks to get tied back up. That UMass team will be top 5 by the end of the year. They are super talented, but Carvel is going to need to cut them down on the needless clutching and grabbing. They are so talented, they don't need to do that stuff. That being said, they gave us chances with a ton of penalties. our pp was just awful though. You will likely see a more uptempo team than msu had under hastings. Msu skated well with UMass, but the chemistry.just wasn't there. Lots of passes behind guys, a ton of missed one-timers, and no one crashing the net. The goalie was leaving juicy rebounds, but no one there to put it home. You can tell it's a team that is still growing together. It's a team that lost the top 11 scorers, it's going to take some time. it should be a fun series. I'm not sure how fast a team can pull together.
  7. Not true.....its different with him because it's a covid year or it's only one guy or some other reason that conveniently applies to them but no one else. https://twitter.com/DanMyers/status/1659934731222368257 Make sure to read the replies
  8. I have to admit, that was my pre-Maverick days. I was a senior in high school and hadn't even been introduced to college hockey. So, I guess I've always hated you guys.
  9. Am I gonna have to hate you guys too? My list of "Teams to Hate" is growing longer by the day. Dang, we should have had another title contender this year. This sucks.
  10. He did do a ton. The facilities are sooooo much better than before. Got fan support behind our team (not coming to see our opponents). Built an operational structure that is built to win. I'm not going to say that I'm not disappointed in the way he left because I am. I just hope strand is as good as people think he is and it's almost a larson/scsu situation where he takes us another level. I wouldn't be surprised if he was mercilessly booed if he ever came back though. My bigger concern is that college hockey is becoming like football and basketball. Those cesspool are something I want no part of. I firmly believe the sec and big ten are going to destroy college sports as we know it and I'm not sure that's a good thing.
  11. I'll tell ya. I think Hastings hurt his legacy in Kato with all of this. Just the few comments I've heard have not been all that flattering. Everyone respects what he did for us and understands the business side of it, but lots of people holding on to some hard feelings.
  12. I thi k im developing a genuine hatred for the big ten.
  13. I'm guessing you haven't been following along with the msu stuff. Purely a joke. I wish no ill will on the kid.
