I'd sure think so...I saw BU and BC, and if Lowell is the best of that class (at least by conference record) they must be legit

That is very possible- not sure what Lowell really brings, but they did win a big time conference...

Agree- satisfying. CC is on the top of their game right now and we should've beaten them. I think we can play with anybody. There is incredible parity this year.

SCSU is on the bubble- They need to be Miami, Union, Lowell, Wisconsin, and Yale fans... they definitely need to be rooting against CC, Notre Dame, Michigan, BU, and Mercyherst

My shot if the following conference champs play out: Union, BU, CC, MI, Mercyherst: Manchester: Quinnipiac vs Mercyherst UNH* vs DU * swapped with Notre Dame for hosting purposes Toledo: Miami vs BU UND** vs Union **UND and BC swapped for attendance reasons in Providence Providence: Lowell vs CC BC** vs Niagara Grand Rapids: Minnesota vs Michigan Notre Dame vs MSU-Mankato

Which you might say is due to a lack of solidified lines? If I am being shuffled from center to left wing to right wing routinely, I might lose track of which man I have- especially the wingers- do I have left point or right point? Oh sh$t wrong one... and tournament appearance over.

No way was that OT goal on Clark...I won't make excuses for two of his goals (#1 and #3 were garbage), but I was sitting directly in line from Clark to the shooter. I said to my buddy "lot of traffic out there" and as soon I said it the deflection went in. He had no chance, not even positionally perfect goaltending stops that deflection of a body.

That was a great team, and MN and UMD also had great teams- DU was the fourth best team in the WCHA and they won it all

This smack talk is silly...gotta get through CC, then the real smack talk can begin. CC will play racehorse hockey...we've got to come ready.

One game does not a trend make, my friend. Although I am pleased with this one. You have to admit this team looked nothing like the team that showed up the prior two nights.

The bad goals which I am referencing were let in by Zane. Not said with sarcasm- saying Zane's softies made an impression on Hak, thus Clark gets the nod

Saunders in net again, eh...the bad goals really made an impression on Hak. Since none of us internet experts are in accord with O'Donnell on the top line or Mitch Mac playing, if Hak fails- he has no excuse. We need to blow them out the zamboni door on the first shift...

That is the one move Mattson has, the reverse pivot spin-o-rama which is a very tough move. Serious outside edge work there. Chay was very good, Taylor Chorney too. Marto was an excellent skater. Roche was absolutely sick. Bomber was very good. Naumenko very good, Curtis Murphy very good...

I concur with all 3, my lineup has Forbert on the third d-pairing, Mitch Mac in street clothes, and Rowney centering the third line. I also bench O'Donnell, skate Gleason as a forward, put Rocco on the top line, and Drake out there

They played in the BCHL

Is the game being broadcast on Fox College Sports?

I presume the game is on Fox College Sports...

Rodwell was not a passenger last night...what's with the love affair with Mitch and Brendan- neither are doing anything

If me: Knight with Kristo and Rocco Mark Mac with Parks and Gleason Rowney with St Clair and Cagguila Pattyn with Rodwell and Gaarder Simpson and Mattson Mac and Panza Forbert and Schmaltz Zano Unleash the fury, and we've got an extra dman dressed if need be.

To be clear, I am pleased with Simpson's play this year and believe he is much improved. I am talking ideal state. In an ideal state, Simpson would be paired with a top end offensive dman- think Travis Roche or Keith Ballard or even Chay.p, and they'd be the top pairing. Mac would be paired with another shutdown man like a Matt Greene or Matt Jones Forbert and Schmaltz could be the third pairing.

Good knee or good skater or not, they attacked with numbers and speed off a turnover with us attacking

That's exactly what went through my mind last night...I was going: go, go- then dump, no, sh$t, oh sh#t

Simmer will play...agree that unless it is structural he will be in the lineup. That's why they invented cortisone shots...

That rush was a direct result of an all out offensive push that got turned the other way with speed. Often times the best breakout is an opponent's shot and rush.

Not the main problem, but a problem in terms of poor outlet passes and starting the breakout. We are way too easily pinned deep, and we succumb to the forecheck too easily. Agree that our problem last night was a failure to score goals, not giving up two. Good offense starts with the d...
