You are old I'm 41 and I had to look up what movie you're referencing...the kids these days know Cheech and Chong from Spy Kids or Nash Bridges

I really like Bowen too. I think what I like best is that he just keeps his game simple and uses great legs and a motor that won't quit. We will get turnover and pressure goals just from him playing that style.

Horrific officiating. Totally agree that the officials have lost control. Now its just stupid.

Now their feet are moving

No flow

Awful start

Ummm...I have him as our 2nd best defenseman

Hey...c'mon....we're tied for first in the NCHC and 7th in the pairwise

but this aint a democracy...nor is the United States for that matter...a representative republic...

I vote Mismash

made a powerplay post in the Saturday gameday thread Regarding impactful freshies...we've been spoiled: Parise, Toews, Oshie, Stafford, Zajac, Boeser...that's a lot to expect...those 6 are among the 300 best players in the world Toews is one of the 100 greatest players of ALL-TIME...just think about that

On a positive note our zone entry seems improved over years past. I've said it before, the powerplay should be easy! All of hockey offensive breaks down to creating an odd-man. Players should see possible 2-1's everywhere. On the PP, you will always have a legit 2-1 somewhere, by simple numbers. You force that 2-1 on a defender down low and when he bites, his partner has to come across, which should always leave the weakside winger or a sleeper defenseman with a clean look at the net, depending on what that weakside defender forward does in terms of coverage. Typically he will stay stay with the d, but start to drift with the collapse. I think we skate to find the passing lane too much and don't skate to force the odd-man which by nature will create a passing lane.

I think Adams is an under the radar guy that is going to have a great career. I agree with Rhett, Pogo and Mismash...that is a nasty line. I like Jones between Adams and Gersich...thats our speed line After that we have parts, but I'm not sure how to assemble them. Bowen and Hoff need to play in my opinion.

Toews has been very displeased with this.

What, are you a millenial? Look it up yourself

Shouldn't we have seen a lineup card by now???

He scored 4 points and was a -1 in 20 career games. He was a body. While I appreciated him- certainly at the end of last year; at the same time, you are talking about a high scoring player coming out of Pens Elite AAA who couldn't get on with a USHL team...that's a bit odd to begin with. This announcement feels like a frustrated kid bailing. I will withhold further commentary until more is known about the circumstances. I will just say thanks for your service and best of luck.

The announcement is also poorly timed...on a game day? I sure hope he didn't storm off today and quit...if he did, then the leadership in the room is really going to need to step up

Only way Simo is out is if he's dinged up

Calling for a split is a total sandbag move. We should sweep.

not one thing

How do you know this about Green? He is clearly playing Stecher...

agree. Reebok and CCM are same company, different branding.

Agree with you 100% on this. Anyone who watched the game saw that it looked like the ice was tilted to UND's favor. I attribute the lack of finish to nerves...first games of season, long road trip. The ice was also clearly bad. Games like this happen. We fortunately come out no worse for wear with a 1-0-1 record...still undefeated : ) The next two weekends are absolutely HUGE. We need to go 2-0 vs SLU and we must go 1-1 with the Gophers. I don't think this is too much of a stretch. For PWR, you never want to lose a H2H comparison, and it also makes a difference on your COP vs other teams in that conference that you don't play, and always factors into RPI.

I wonder if Mishmash and Guch missed a curfew or something. Seems crazy that they'd be in street clothes...
