IALTO

If our players are getting six figure deals from other schools, how did they end up here in the first place? What you have is a system where teams are throwing money around hoping to get a diamond in the rough. How long will schools continue doing that if the ROI doesn't measure up?

Assuming the ice will be bad on Saturday as well, we should adapt our style of play to match. With a bouncing puck, when you have a chance, SHOOT THE DAMN PUCK! A bouncing puck on net favors the shooting team, as it is harder on the goaltender to stop a puck that is bouncing and moving around. Fancy passes don't work on bad ice. Just dump it in deep and go get it, then cycle the puck until you get some open looks. We cannot pretend we are at home on good ice. We have to adapt. Hopefully the Frozen Four will have better ice.

The NCAA should make ice quality one of the criteria to be eligible to bid on these regionals. And the Frozen Four too.

Why? The previous game didn't go to overtime.

They actually remembered that we are in the tournament this year? 😜

They have soccer on two channels (ESPNU and ESPN2).

I sure hope we look better than that.

Back to back timeouts? Is this UConn vs. Michigan State in hockey or MBB? 😉

That last UConn shot hit someone's leg in front.

Sometimes he p!$$es me off. Sometimes he makes me laugh out loud. It just depends on what he is posting. He does add some flavor to this forum.

K.I.S.S. Keep It Simple Stupid

THIS x 1000 When you are playing a team you are tangibly better than, it is important to not let them hang around. Jump on them early, put 2 or 3 on the board. Then stay out of the box and roll four lines. We'll wear them down with our depth. Then we'll check another box and get ready for Saturday.

I'm all for that.

I actually like WMU. Their "Lawson Lunatics" remind me of the student section in the Old REA.

She knows the drill.

Good point. I want to keep the Natty in the NCHC, but I would rather have either us or WMU win it. Duluth and Denver are little pests that need to be swatted.

Watch them hire someone as GM who is 100% committed to keeping the roster at least 95% Minnesotan.

I am so sick of Duluth and Denver. And hearing about Gavin Freaking McKenna. And about how Michigan is the greatest thing since sliced bread. If I am a little salty this week, it's because it's been so long since we've been a factor on the national stage I am having withdrawal symptoms. It's time to remind everyone who we are and why we still matter.

It wouldn't take much to do better than me. I am horrible when it comes to predictions.

Yeah, I'm with you on that. I am ALWAYS nervous before and during postseason games.

Yes I have. But some people are talking like they are invincible and can't be beat. I think it was back in the mid 2000's Denver got beat by RIT in the first round. The Denver media said that "The stars were aligned" for that team to win it all. RIT knocked those stars out of alignment. As we all know, anybody can be beat in this tournament. Especially if it's Holy Cross vs. Minnesota!

Okay, let's stop interacting with the Bison trolls and get back to talking about 2026 Spring Football. The future looks bright and I am looking forward to the 2026 season.
