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.

I do think that Edisness will take over the starting job before long, but it is also true that the defense has to step up more than it has so far.

This is not a team we can screw around with and expect to beat. Especially on the road.

Another Maverick Power Play coming up.

2-1 MSU Mankato. This could get out of hand very, very early.

And whoever is in charge of music at The Ralph: Do. Not. Play. That. Song. Ever. Again. Thank you.

Well, that was fun while it lasted. 1-1. And here is that stupid "ole" song.

WATKINS SCORES!!!

We wasted a great opportunity to get on the board early on the road in a hostile environment. Terrific.

Come on boys, we HAVE to capitalize on this.

St. Cloud goal waved off. Dang it! Still tied at 1.

It's under review apparently.
