Godsmack

I loved that goal he scored last weekend at Miami. At first it looked like he was attempting to do the lacrosse scoop and score but then decided to backhand it in. And I think his goal came shortly after Miami had scored. Happy for the guy.

After a decade plus of constant butt kickings and disappointment, tonight felt good. Yah, DU’s got us Tigers by a country mile in national success but tonight was ours. It felt good. Crazy comeback. If CC hadn’t made those dumb turnovers to go down 3-0, who knows? Five unanswered goals though for CC.

I personally would love to see an NIT tournament. Is it a natty? Of course not, but it could be a fun experience for the players and fans.

Woog let it be known for his dislike of the CC road jerseys back in the early 2000’s that had the horizontal gray stripe that wrapped around the back that partially covered the numbers.

And twice on Sundays!!!

I’m biased in this opinion but I am really bullish on Kris Mayotte. He has taken steps each and every year now at CC. He has pretty much flushed out the Haviland era in every way. I see him continuing to move the program forward this year as well. Watching them in every home game and most road games this year, they play with swagger, they play with snarl (as Starman likes to say), and they play with moxie. They’ve gotten bigger yet haven’t sacrificed the speed and skill necessary to compete. I could see Mayotte doing some special things, bringing the program back to national relevance and then eventually moving on to a bigger more high profile program, giving Peter Mannino his shot at a head coaching gig as Mayotte’s replacement. Would UND ever consider going so far outside the box with a guy like Mayotte or Raboin as some have mentioned here? Would Mayotte even have any interest if such an opportunity arose?

I think, tonight, I’ve just entered stage five of the five stages of grief…acceptance.

It’s kinda fun to theorize but my CC friends aren’t to fond of my theory. Just wondering if Mayotte is poised to do at CC what Lucia did 30 years ago.

I’m telling you, my theory (which is based on absolutely zero facts) is, Penn State muddles along through the season while Kris Mayotte continues to build at CC and at the end of the year, Penn State lets Gadowsky go and they go after Mayotte, who is from Pennsylvania. Then, CC promotes Peter Mannino to head coach for the Tigers. Or, maybe perhaps Jim Montgomery???

Well, that’s another way to get your name on the scoresheet.

Guys wanna see their names on the score sheet.

Big crowd

I just turned the game on a few minutes ago. UND has used two of their timeouts just a few minutes into the second half?

If you want a lesson on what not to do in the defensive zone check out St. Cloud’s second goal against CC last night. Woof. I bet that was a long skate back to the bench for Tyler Coffey. No look pass from the side boards into the middle of the ice. Back of Mbereko’s net.

CC’s opponent this weekend. A hundred happy points to you if you can guess who the Tigers face!

I’m not much for moral victories but I gotta give UND credit tonight. I can accept a loss when they play hard. DU is simply just a damn good team that doesn’t beat themselves.

The “Let’s go hawks!” chants from the cheer squad are coming in loud and clear on my tv! Let’s do this!

Refs jerking us i like that-can I use that while watching UND hockey?
