1st week, they looked great. 2nd and 3rd week---not as good but the stripes down the middle look great. week 4---stripe gone and a large white blob on grey. You don't put primary white on lighter greys. Not a good look.

And now they look even worse.

F Michigan, "Michigan played 60 minutes trying not to lose and got away with it. If they played 20 times, UND probably beats them 17 or 18 times."....Barry Melrose Conversation with Barry as he was enjoying a Cigar outside the Embassy Suites on Friday morning as we were heading to the Twins game....didn't make me feel any better.

James is our best 200 foot forward and has been since the end of last season. Hopefully he can find his scoring touch but his speed is a problem for most teams and he is phenominal on the penalty kill.

I did not expect UND to win last night but expected them to keep it somewhat respectable against a team that isn't overly athletic and that will likely finish somewhere between 9th and 12th in the Big 10. I was prepared for something along the lines of UND scoring 65-75 and Iowa scoring somewhere between 85-95 with a 15-20 point spread so expectations are diminished for the time being to see if this was hopefully a one off game for us.

Similar to 2010 when we opened their new arena for them in the Hall of Fame game and they had to wait until the game was over to test their new Goal Horn.

As in all officiating "points of emphasis" they are null and void after Thanksgiving.

YSU quietly smirks and agrees.

He was upset that UND was behind but kept playing hard....he is a d-bag

I think our forwards being active in the d zone and available for outlets helps a bit.

Next to the nickel at the Heritage Center?

True. The Gophers made him a non factor in the semifinal game last year as he had to defend more than he likes to. He was with team USA at the World Championships last year and they primarily used him on the power play and when we had an offensive zone faceoff. He was outmuscled and beat for the overtime goals in the semi final and bronze medal games. He definitely needs to add some muscle but he is beyond dynamic with the puck.

If that is 5 I am assuming Celebrini needs to go back to the dark room for observaton?

bout half and half....at least two uncalled OPI

You can't throw a drop pass when you are shorthanded and have 3 guys heading towards the net.

Sad news. Loved watching her play. Just an absolute tenacious dawg on the floor. I know my cousins kids knew her and had her as a coach and absolutley loved her.

Spent a little time at the Cask & Flagon during the Frozen Four a few years ago. Pretty close to BU campus. Bleacher Bar(located in Fenway under the CF bleachers. is right near there as well. If you have a late night and are hungry, the South Street Diner is excellent but no idea where it is in relation to BU but we did eat there 2-3 times....usually around 2 am.

Love these. Maybe we could use helmet stickers....instead of Buckeye stickers we hand out Mike stickers to players who have big games or game changing plays.

Here is how I see the MVFC finishing up. SDSU 11-0, 8-0....NDSU(W), YSU(W), Missouri St.(W) UNI 8-3, 7-1...WIU(W), Murray St.(W), NDSU(W) USD 8-3, 6-2...SIU(L), UND(W), WIU(W) SIU 8-3, 5-3....USD(W), NDSU(L), Indiana St. (W) UND 7-4, 5-3....Murray St.(W), USD(L), Illinois St.(W) YSU 7-4, 5-3....Indiana St.(W), SDSU(L), Murray St.(W) NDSU 7-4, 4-4...SDSU(L), SIU(W), UNI(L) Ill. State 6-5, 4-4....Missouri State(W), Murray St.(W), UND(L) Missouri St. 3-8, 2-6...Illinois St.(L), Murray St. (W), SDSU(L) Murray State 2-9, 1-7...UND(L), Illinois St. (L), YSU(L) Indiana St. 1-10, 1-7...YSU(L), WIU(W), SIU(L) WIU 0-11, 0-8...UNI(L), Indiana St. (L), USD(L) How many playoff teams and who are they?

Not pile on but what the hell. End of half, 1st and ten at own 36 with 11 seconds and two timeouts left. Indiana State in soft prevent. Time for 2, maybe 3 plays and admittingly low expectation of getting points. 1st down and we run an 8 yard out to the sideline. 2nd down a pass over the middle for 30 yards and the clock runs out.....with two timeouts left I question the first down play as the whole middle of the field was wide open.

I would question why on 3rd and 7 we have to throw the ball 3 yards to a receiver or back and have them pick up the rest of the yards for a first down. Are those just terrible play calls or necessary? I would have hoped we could have a receiver run a 10 yard out pattern and then come back to the sticks as our QB rifles a ball to him.

If Tommy gets injured they need Feeney to be able to run the offense so they don't want to expose him by having him primarily run the ball which is really all they have done with Romfo in the game.
