Godsmack

Please please please don’t break out the black jerseys. Go with the green as it certainly wasn’t the jerseys that dictated last night’s effort.

His brother found out last year (transferred to DU) how much more difficult the NCHC is compared to other conferences.

I didn’t see the “Michigan lacrosse goal” but it happened when the game was in hand. Could being embarrassed like that serve as any kind of motivation to come out and play good, hard game tonight?

Jandric’s spear to Broadzinski’s nut sack brings up a frightening memory involving Quiet Riot… A buddy and I went to see Quiet Riot, Ratt, Warrant, and Firehouse at the Grizzly Rose about twenty years ago and we were in the front row until…..QR came out and Kevin Dubrow was wearing these tight shear electric blue velvet pants and standing there with his foot up on a riser with little left to the imagination. Needless to say, we made a bee line for the back of the room. Still have nightmares about that!

That, or going to see the Quiet Riot tribute band play at the Black Sheep bar on Platte Avenue.

Berry’s speechless. Can’t say I blame him. He sounds exasperated.

Does your beer league have run time if you go up by 5 or more goals?

Not sure this is the situation you want to introduce your freshman goaltender to D-I hockey. Feel bad for the kid entering his first game under these circumstances.

Great. It not only will that be goal of the week, it will likely be NCHC goal of the year.

Inmates clearly run the asylum. Wonder if Berry has ever raised his voice within that locker room once.

Right?!

There goes our push.

This is difficult to watch. Pat’s absolutely right though-St. Cloud is absolutely smothering and suffocating UND whenever we touch the puck.

Yah, would’ve been nice to give him some game experience earlier this season rather than waiting until tonight, on the road against one of the best teams.

Just read Schlossman’s article about the game and he mentioned that Calder is likely out for next weekend’s series against St. Cloud, according to Berry. That sucks.

So Calder’s injured?

No Calder in the lineup tonight?

Amen. Brand new scoreboard at Robson arena and do you think they show replays of the visitors’ goals against CC? -Nope. Such petty, small minded thinking. I Wanna tell someone, “The program showing replays of the other teams’ goals doesn’t diminish their loyalty to the Tigers.” Plays happen so fast sometimes, even if you’re paying attention, your brain doesn’t fully capture the development of the play so seeing replays helps. Instead, they wanna have the over used kiss cam, and crap like that.

The thing that sticks out to me is how soon the players seem to have forgotten last Friday’s effort and performance. I give them a lot of credit for how they responded last Saturday but then last night felt like they regressed right back to last Friday (the lazy penalties, the general lack of effort and intensity). Berry seems to know how to get his players to respond to a poor performance so let’s hope tonight we see better.

Kleven deserved that. Dumb dumb dumb.

Time to bring in the Swede!

They come right back off the goal with another great chance. Zero push back from us.

Change goalies good god

Is the atmosphere in the arena as dead as it seems watching it on tv?

Jake said most teams will dump and chase but Minnesota will sometimes dangle and keep the puck as they enter the zone. We need to be more assertive and hold the blue line better then if they’re going to do that.
