just finished watching the game. Miami has one very good line and they are clearly well-coached. They created space and burried their chances...same as last night. It did look like we were struggling a little with the on ice conditions. seemed that bounces and pucks were just off. Not having Pooly hurt us tremendously all weekend in terms of calm and structure. Our best players are better than theirs and that is what made the difference in the end. Their tendy played a great game. Ours played good enough to win.

He’s definitely net positive on the year.

Poor Scheel responsible for consecutive mimosa free Sundays

Agree. Solid post. Scheel was the man first half, but he’s had two bad starts now that really hurt the team. He needs to get dialed back in, but not tonight

Exactly. Hyperbolic comment on a fan forum. for the record Cratter, I’m “the type” of hockey dad that anonymously pays the fees for kids that need scholarships to play hockey and flies all over the US and Canada to support my kid telling him after 6 point gold medal wins in Tier 1 elite and 0 point 5 goal losses in league play the same thing: I love watching you play.

I’m fine with shootouts when the games don’t matter. I do have a beef with a “sudden death” format. Should be at least 3 shooters each. now when games matter aka medal games in the world juniors, shootouts should be banned! Play until it’s over. Play 5x5

Again with the “people like you” You have no idea.

People like me? You don’t know me. Seems kinda like a personal attack...

bad puck luck and bad goaltending.

almost exactly what I was going to say. he whiffed at it and it went in off his stick,

If there is evidence that it hit his shaft above the bar, then it is the correct call. Miami player touched it, but didn't possess it.

only if it was in fact above the bar where it hit

Starman thought it was a goal

Starman did think it was a goal. He also thought several penalties against UND were good hockey plays...was shocked when they reviewed the Mismash play on the wall...which by the way nobody is talking about. A guy tried to hit him and ends up on his ass and after hitting mash in the shoulder, mash follows through with his arm and they were looking at something??? WTF.....refs out for us tonight boys.

great programs...NHL scouts...I'm not balding...

I'd like to see a good look at it...what I saw on TV looked like he missed it and it hit him

because where you make contact with your stick defines the high stick, not where your blade is

did it hit the butt of his stick or somewhere weird?

crossbar defines a high stick

I did not see it ever hit his stick...did it at some point? The replay looked like he tried, but it hit his shoulder.

Is that sarcasm?

Dean Blais woulda had a nice presser

I'm thinking about the goalie interference...my cable in CA was all pixelated, so i didn't see the other penalty in the 3rd...

weatherby is fine. That penalty was coincidental hard work. I don't bench a guy for that. Lots of sloppy play all around, and you can't spot a team 2 goals and expect to win.
