Listening to the postgame with Jax and reading between the lines, Tyler had to wait on the sidelines while they chased a few blue chippers. I'm guessing Martone was one of them. It says a lot about his character that he is willing to do that and earn his spot every game.
I get it, if I had to put money on it I think they'll win too. It just makes me nervous is all. Younger team, missing key players, after holiday break. We had these duds under Hak too
I'm worried because even missing some guys I think they are literally the biggest games of the season. Of course we SHOULD beat them. Mercyhurst is the worst team in college hockey and even allowing a Robert Morris like goal to go to OT would be a disaster. On top of that we're coming out of the break with no students in the stands. If this isn't a trap series, I don't know what is.
Sounds like there's a potential to be missing A TON of players for the Mercyhurst series if the WJC guys all made their teams. (this is a good problem to have by the way)
The final game in Switzerland is December 31st and Friday vs Mercyhurst is January 2nd. If a doomsday scenario where everyone makes their teams and some crazy winter weather stalled the guys coming back from Switzerland we could be without:

Dang, I was really excited for that. Worked at the old one back in the early 2000s so it's got a lot of nostalgia for me($5.25/hr but you get free movies and concessions!😆).
If someone came in and did all the updates that were promised, the place would be packed.
Couldn’t take anyone serious in the 2nd half of last season that was lobbying for Hobie to play over TJ. It was clear who the better option. I understand wanting to start the development but Hedquist wasn’t that guy
