Very nice

Driscoll did not play well. He had at least two chances to freeze the puck on the first goal but didn't do it. Obviously completely muffed the second goal. Shoot high glove or high blocker and he won't make the save. His sub .900 SV isn't going to get the team to the tournament. Let's see what the Swede can do.

The logo sucks. I don't like it now and didn't like it when it was introduced. PC Bull####.

I filled out a form today that asked my sex - I checked male. It also asked for my gender - I checked other and wrote in "Martian". Nobody said a word. I've been wanting to do that for a long time.

Why would we want to join the L10?????

A couple of observations. The team was shorthanded and consequentially outplayed. When will the coaches do something about penalties? The Jamernik crosscheck was just stupid - maybe a five or maybe not. Embellishment by the UMD player -uh, yeah. Worthy of a DU dive. But the net result was the far better team won. The UND team we watched tonight is at best the third or forth place team in the NCHC.

I think the hawks logo would look great......on the bottom of the player's skates.

Anything less than a split is unacceptable!

Kinda hard to agree at this point. The top line doesn't hold a candle to the CBS line. The Heavy Line of '15-'16 was far better than this year's version. Defense this season has the potential to be one of the top groups but after 15, 25 and 26 the talent drops off. Plenty of talent though. The next three weekends will be key. 3 and 3 would be acceptable. 4 and 2 would be better. 5 and 1 or 6 and 0 would mean @wilbur should buy me a beer.

I hate the inconsistency in posting the conference standings. North Dakota is on top with a 2-0-0 record and St. Cloud is in second with a 2-0-0 record. UND has 6 points and St. Cloud has 5. How can this be with identical records? Well go to the NCHC site and you see that the records are 2-0-0-0 and 2-0-0-1 respectively. Arrggh......

Is this a COVID thing?

I really didn't think Kleven's hit deserved a suspension but I'm shocked that Savoie didn't get at least a game. Terrible message that the NCHC is sending to the rest of the teams. Open season on head shots!

It looked to me like he got a penalty for being too big.

Best player on the ice.

I will admit that I expected a DU sweep. Very pleased to be wrong as usual. But having said that, there was a till a ton of poor plays that could have led to a loss. The Jandric pass was the most glaring. Still quite a few no look passes that went nowhere. And how many times did they ice the puck when there was no need to? Six? Eight? None of them led to goals but they are the type of play that will lead to goals.

So will we see two Swedes in net this weekend?

I never met him but interacted on USCHO quite a bit. Siouxnation is a bit lessened. RIP.

Passing was horrible. And what is going on with 26? I had him pegged for the Hobey this year but he doesn't seem like the same player at all. Tentative in bringing the puck up the ice and he definitely has anti-puck tape on his stick. Defense is supposed to be the strength of this team. It hasn't been so far. Lots of poor decisions tonight.

Kleven

Saw 4 PSU fans tonite. Was able to get into the Wild Horse party just as they were introducing the team. The boys looked a bit star struck. The freshmen and transfers probably never even played in front of as many people as were at the party. Looking forward to the game tomorrow!

Ran into a guy from Florida today. He said you guys are taking over this town. Lots of green and jerseys. Downtown tonite will be nuts!

We ran into a PSU fan! So about 500 to 1 so far.

Where are you staying?

I am sure there will be long lines. The Vegas game was ridiculous. They advertised 12 bars but they included all the bars inside the casino. The lines outside were a good half hour wait. There were 3 bars outside for about 2,500-3,000 people.

I probably asked but if I did I don't remember the answer - are you going to the game?
