Godsmack

Thanks for the plug! I wore my #8 Schmaltz jersey tonight and the couple we were at the game with are Jewish and my buddy tells his wife, who in turn, tells my wife-who’s rooting for the Tigers-that Schmaltz is Yiddish for chicken fat. So now I’m chicken fat whenever I bust out the Schmaltz sweater.

I’m late to the party as I just got home from the game. Why was Senden a late scratch? Also, in the post game interview Coach Mayotte felt the refs were trying hard to look for something to call all night. I would agree with that assessment. The succession of tripping calls, while maybe some or all of them may have been legit, but didn’t anyone else notice CC getting away with a high elbow to the head in the second period that the refs naturally missed? Of all the things they called in the 2nd and they missed an actual dirty play??? Wow.

I had the distinct honor and privilege of meeting the infamous (and notorious?) @Oxbow6 last night at the game! Look forward to visiting again tonight!

Well there is on mine.

Don’t forget to have a copy of your vaccination card, either the physical card or a front and back image of it on your phone.

Also, a great Cajun restaurant that’s downtown and only a 5-10 minute drive from the arena is the Springs Orleans. Also, Yakatori is great if you like Japanese and the price is right.

I will say this, while CC doesn’t have overall elite talent, they are definitely a team with a new attitude far different than what CC fans saw under Haviland. They may not execute the best on a consistent basis but they are really working hard and hustling. Mayotte could be the answer to turning the program around.

Calder got slashed in a game against the Gophers. Naturally, both Refs missed it even though the rest of us watching saw it plain as day as Calder entered the Minnesota zone with the puck. He took a two hand chop across the forarms.

The broadcast for CC games on AT&T is pretty good. It isn’t the radio guy, Ken Landau.

Buddy of mine just texted me that there appears to be plenty of available second hand tickets for tonight’s game.

Back in my youthful twenties, at World Arena we’d sneak in some of those shooters and then go buy a Pepsi and make mixed drinks. Nowadays, in my old age, I sneak in Skittles or Mike & Ike’s from Walgreens.

I always get the tall boys which I believe are $11. They have smaller craft beers in cans as well but i don’t recall how much those cost.

Given the hand he was dealt, I thought Hakstol did pretty good during his tenure there at Philly. Not a marketplace I’d want to coach in.

FYI: masks in the arena are required (unless, of course you spend your hard earned money on beer and concessions). Also, proof of vaccination is required upon entry into the arena. A screen shot of your vaccination card is accepted.

Panino’s Restaurant is literally a block away from Robson. They have good pizza and Italian in general. Only drawback-at least from what we experienced a month or so ago after the CC game ended was, they close around ten so we didn’t have a whole lot of time there after the game had ended. But, definitely a good place to go to for dinner and drinks before the game and just a short walk to the arena.

Garden of the Gods park isn’t too far of a drive if you care to get outside and enjoy the scenery.

I remember being at this game. I thought some of the DU fans were going to go after UND fans afterwards. They were pissed.

So I gather no highlight video of Saturday’s game?

St. Cloud fans would be saying it was a dick move too if the tables were turned. Regardless, we did enough to embarrass ourselves last night and in a perverse sort of way, if that goal got under the skin of our guys and helped them in any way tonight, then I’m glad he did it even though it was unnecessary.

Tonight’s win takes the sting off last night’s Michigan lacrosse goal which, I thought was kind of a dick move by that guy for doing when the game was clearly in hand for St. Cloud.

Tychonick took an ill-advised 5 minute major for face masking and CC, with one of the worst power plays, made them pay. Nice road win for the Tigers. All is right with the world tonight.

Hennessy said that to Berry in the post game interview and Berry acknowledged as much that he needs to keep those three together, no more tinkering with that line.
