I'm ok with expectations being low again. Worked well for us last year. Frankly, we shouldn't need the any motivation to play well, but maybe the underdog role better fits this team. *sigh* ... I don't know,
Finally played with some urgency after going down 3-1. Damn shame it took that long because we have found a bit of jump. Lots of pucks to nets. Need to bury a rebound. Come on boys, dig deep.
Fair enough. I'm done arguing about it. I think it does for momentum, chemistry, confidence and oh yeah, the potential to get the No. 1 overall seed and avoid a stronger match up.
I may be in the minority here, but, I don't think so. They were Big10 tourney champs (wait, is that a good thing? ) last year and if it weren't for us, were probably a Frozen Four team. I think he gets one more year.
Lol give me a break... Your team was supposed to win the league last year and grossly underperformed. You want Blasi to win it because he finally got them to play like they were supposed to?
Outside if of the stats for the Richter, I think it's a huge plus that Zane probably gets the most exposure of any goalie in the country since we're on TV/NCHC.tv nearly every week. Everyone has a chance to really get a sense of how good he really is.
