PP #9 coming up for North Dakota. And the goalie has been pulled.

A little of both, I think. Mankato is going to be a good team this year. They'll finish in the top 5 and probably go to the NCAA's. We'll be lucky to have home ice at this rate. But I do think we'll get it together at some point.

I think we are looking at a possible 1-5 or even 1-7 start if we continue this level of play. I do think we will pull it together before Christmas, it's just going to take some time.

Sioux Power Play 0-8 tonight. Terrible.

I'm watching ESPN and the blue turf of Boise State! That alone is more entertaining than tonight's game in Mankato.

Rodents hang on to win 3-2.

Huskies close but no cigar with the 2 man advantage. Kangas with a nice save at point blank range.

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!
