Timeout SCSU, 6-4 coming up for the Huskies when they pull the goalie.

SCSU with the power play and 90 seconds left.

St. Cloud scores a nice goal with 2 minutes and change left in the game. 3-2 Rodents. Not over yet.

Big save on the breakaway for Walski!

ANOTHER shorthanded goal for MSU-Mankato. 4-1 Mavs. :53 seconds into the third period. This is becoming a bad joke.

He'll break if we can generate some sustained pressure and some quality scoring chances. That means getting some rebounds in front of the net and burying them when we get the chances.

End of the 2nd period. 3-1 MSU. Sioux 0-6 on the PP, MSU 0-4. SH goal really hurts right now. I think once we get a win and some goals, the mental block will be off of our guys. But until then, it's going to look ugly.

You are correct. We need to start generating better opportunities. Goaltenders at this level will stop shots from the outside if they can see them.

Good luck seeing that anytime soon with this Minnesota Wild-esqe trapping system Hakstol has us playing.

The problem is that we follow up a good shift with a crappy shift. We need a consistent effort, shift in and shift out, game in and game out and we aren't getting it right now.

From what I saw, the SCSU player did not intentionally direct it in. But what do I know?

I get the joke, but PLEASE don't give Brad Schlossman any ideas for the Saturday sports section.

Replay is only as good as the official running the machine. They screwed up the first call (it should have counted) and it took them 10 minutes to figure out an obvious post-crossbar shot that never went in. Go figure.

And we are making yet another goaltender look good.

3-1 MSU. Shorthanded. This is getting embarrassing!

One of the few times we'll get any love on that network!

Another MSU penalty coming up. It's time to cash in!

Come on boys, we need a win!

Rodents score. Stoa. 2-1.

Nice save by SCSU goaltender to keep it 1-1 in the 2nd period.

This is the source of the "hot goalie" syndrome. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. I think this stuff happens to a team that is struggling like our team is right now.

End of the First Period. 2-1 MSU. Time to hit the chalkboard and learn how to play defense. And stay out of the box, please!

I think a 1-5 start is a distinct possibility. Then I think we will get our lines straightened out, our goalie situation settled and our defensive corps settled into their roles. But I think it will get worse before it gets better. Good thing it's only October and not February.

What do you mean ARE going to kill us?

Another North Dakota penalty coming up.
