You like our chances better at the Target Center against the 2 best teams in the country?

If we don't win Friday, it may not matter much what we do on Saturday because we'll have to win the Frozen Faceoff to get in. I don't like the prospect of potentially having to beat Denver and Duluth at the Target Center to keep our season alive. In summation, let's sweep Miami m'kay? Then we'll at least be able to play for our season at The Ralph.

I'm with you BSV, I b!tch and moan when we're playing like last night but why bury this team before it's officially over? Theres no awards for being the first person off the bandwagon. God knows crazier things have happened in college hockey. Not to get too deep on you but it reminds me of the quote in Julius Caesar: "Cowards did many times before their death; the valiant never taste of death but once." And I can now check off 'quoted Shakespeare on SS.com' from my things I never thought I'd do list.

I think it's human nature to rest on your laurels after a season as incredible as our last. In that way, it does seem like some of the freshmen who weren't on that team are playing more desperate than the sophomores, jrs and seniors. Also, the teams that win those titles generally lose strong senior classes and/or NHL caliber players early to the pros. You won't hear the team using these excuses but they are still true. Lastly, I think(have heard) that there are a ton of players playing through injuries this year. Again, won't hear this out of the locker room but it could explain the underperforming.

Bachman was a hell of a college goalie and the 1st good one that came to mind. I'm unaware of who Curtis McElhinney so it would have been difficult for me to pick him

Congrats for booing a UND legend, I'm sure that'll give our team the boost it needs. He deserves recognition for his massive contributions to this program. No, he's not our coach anymore but I don't know why that means you can't respect the guy and his legacy. God knows Brad Berry and Dave Hakstol understood they may not be where they are today without him. IMO the guy earned the admiration he's given from our fans... he's also a genuine & down-to-earth guy if you ever talk to him.

Was that you on the floor in the Alerus?

Bachman

I can't imagine he takes kindly to getting sprayed by opposing players

Put the puck in the damn net... that is all

That's why I was asking where bsv was watching it

Why don't I see it on fsn north? Is it a different fsn?

He'll be out for the senior skate w/ both of them. Can't wait to see his baby pics.

I'd rather have a bunch of Stechers over a bunch of Joe Finleys...

Not sure I'll see another goal like that in my life

My wife has been saying the same thing when we watch games and I see it too. Agree with a lot of what you're saying here.

I think that game was 2 years ago... but agree that was nuts. Caggiula ties it up with a few ticks on the clock then Parks to Chyzyk for a shorthanded goal with OT expiring to win it. That was one of the most improbable wins I've seen.

Didn't sound like the point, you specified UND when you said haven't we done the same? And we haven't...

That's deep

Finally getting the respect we deserve. THE University of North Dakota!

They don't need wins and help, just winning their final 4 games would put them in. Possibly, even with a 1st round exit. But a little help wouldn't hurt for some breathing room!

Can't remember a time recently where we've been a 1 seed and got upset by a 4 seed in the 1st round...someone correct me if I'm wrong. It's tough to do that when you go to Frozen Fours regularly I suppose They've won the NCHC league title once and a Frozen Faceoff I believe. Sure SCSU has "won something", but it's usually followed by an implosion in the NCAAs.

A 1st round upset to Ferris State as a 1 seed?

Glass all the way full, what a great hockey game
