  1. So many conundrums. 
    We haven’t lost in regulation since early November and yet this overtime slump has taken our spirits down. And then yet, here we are, inching closer to first place St. Cloud (3 points back if I’m not mistaken). I’m trying to keep a glass half full mentality but I won’t lie, it’s been difficult. Need a good response tonight for a multitude of reasons.

    You can attack posters on here as if they are somehow the problem, but I for one care about the program first.   When I see a game where one team CLEARLY wanted it worse than the other, it bothers me.  

    Hard work beats skill when skill does not work hard.  Exactly tonight.

    Omaha was/is in a somewhat similar desperate situation as Alaska in that they’re 23rd pairwise coming into the weekend so securing some wins against UND, Denver, and St. Cloud these next three weeks will really help boost them in that regard. Unlike Alaska, Omaha has several games against teams ranked higher than them. They stuck to it and played with some desperation and tenacity.

  3. Not sure where to have posted this but did anyone hear Flyers coach John Tortorella’s response when asked about BC Eagle Cutter Gauthier being traded to Anaheim? -Leave it to Torts to give an interesting response. Sounds like the kid had no interest playing for the Flyers organization. He made that clear talking about Sidney Crosby being his idol on draft day while wearing a Flyers hat and jersey. 
     

    Edit: If this post belongs in another thread, my apologies 

  4. Listening to Kris Mayotte’s post game comments. Summery: 

    Couldn't generate much offensively. Gave Minnesota too many odd man rushes. “It was awful, no poise by us.” Mayotte’s quote. 
     

    About Snuggerud….”He’s a world class talent and we knew that coming in and that’s what makes Minnesota so good but the way you beat that is by playing as a team but tonight for whatever reason, we couldn’t find the recipe to play as a group of five. We played disconnected.”

    Logan Will/Brett Link/Ryan Beck line…created turnovers, played well again tonight. 
     

    “We’ve got to be better; gotta get back to a commitment to who we are. It unraveled for us tonight for too long of stretches. Too long where we couldn’t get it back under us. We didn’t get the job done but the good thing is, we have a quick turnaround later this week.”

    So did the Gophers purposely schedule this series as a Sunday, Monday so they wouldn't be without their World Junior players? Lots of empty seats tonight. 

    That’s the word on the street. Motzko wanted to get his star players back from the World Juniors for the series. 
     

    Also, CC is still on winter break so they’re planning on staying in Minnesota for the entire week as they play at Duluth this weekend. Don’t have to worry about missing class by being gone the whole week.

    You guys see this?

    It was a game play. Wisdom was going in on a breakaway when the Minnesota defender got a body on him from behind and pushed him into Close. Unfortunate things happen all the time resulting in player injuries. Good non-call.

    Any way to watch it around here.  It shows Fox 9+, but not sure if that is available in local market, or another way to access it.

    They’re televising it locally down here in the Springs but I “think” I saw somewhere that the games will be on the B1G+ streaming (I didn’t even know that was a thing). 

  8. And then the officiating crew doesn’t know the rules of icing.

    That blown icing call with 6 seconds left really screwed over Finland if you think about it. Had the official gotten it right and waited to blow his whistle until after the puck had crossed the far red line, then there probably would’ve been 4 maybe 5 ticks left on the clock and an offensive zone faceoff for Finland. Instead, the officials huddle and determine they messed up so they do a center ice faceoff with 6 seconds to play. You ask the Finns what they would’ve rather had-a center ice faceoff with 6 seconds or an O zone faceoff with 4 or 5 seconds. 
     

    Don’t get me wrong, I’m very happy the U.S. won the game but I hate seeing bad calls/missed calls that could potentially affect the outcome.

    Another weak call like the Finns penalty 

    Makeup call because those officials knew they made a weak one against the Finns. My god, that was a terrible call (both were terrible calls but more so the one against Finland)
