We’ve seen what Mel would do!

Anyone seen line charts. No Moore?

All things considered, 4 respectable lines!

We have the utmost respect for their team and nothing comes easy in this league but if we bring our A game, do all the little things, take one for the team we wont b denied and we’ll send a message....3-1 Ford, Gaber and Klevin

Ford

Denver is a lock (almost) for first, mathematically it’s possible to finish 2nd/3rd. Western Probably has better odds at 2nd than UND only because of our injuries. With everyone healthy and back (after CC) we are even odds with Western for a 2nd or 3rd place finish, in my opinion. Duluth would be the favorite for 4th but they will be beating up on St Cloud or the other way around. Those two play each other 4 times in the remaining 8 games. I would say they will face each other 7 times in the next 5 weeks because they are likely to finish 4th and 5th. Also Duluth plays UND and Miami while St Clown plays Western and CC. My picks on March 11: Miami travels to Denver, CC to UND or Western, Omaha to Western or UND and the Clowns and Dogs play somewhere, probably Duluth. Then there is Omaha, who cares? We need to sweep them at their place but even a split with them is OK if we sweep CC and spit with Duluth and Western.

Probably better if CC doesn’t know for as long as possible

What would Michigan do?

If there was room for 4 stars I’d include Gaber

One major difference is that going in to the Cornel series Driscoll knew he was starting and Hellsten knew he was not! Both now know that a start one night does not mean a finish or a start the second. They are pushing each other for ice time now as it should be. Also, we need both of them for the HCHC tourney and beyond. I honestly feel equally comfortable with either and agree that a rotation of some sort would be best.

I agree that DU is in the drivers seat. The Clowns (they still have plenty of firepower) are hurt more by the Olympics than the Dogs, and playing either team is more difficult than playing Miami, CC or Opieha. Miami (I watched part of their games last weekend waiting for the Sioux) gave DU a battle and came within a whisker of stealing game one! You failed to mention Western who has the skill and ability to sweep DU, I may be wrong but I think that series is at the ZOO. No question about it, DU should win the first seed in the NCHC.

Hopefully the NCHC will get 5 teams at the show, Omaha, CC or Miami would likely need to win the NCHC tourney to advance. So much to factor in with Olympic temporary departures and Covid, but I, like most of you, like our chances better now than a week ago: The remaining schedule favors UND To maintain a top 3 spot in the league. No game is easy but we play Duluth, Western (only 2 top five) and then Omaha twice(4 games) and CC. Denver plays 3 of their remaining series against the top five (SC, Western and Duluth) and then Omaha and CC. Western also plays 3 of their remaining against top five (SC, Denver and UND) and then CC and Miami. Duluth plays 4 of their remaining series agains top five (SC twice, Denver and UND) and then Miami. St Cloud (need to make up 2 games) also play 4 of their remaining agains top five (Denver, Western, and Duluth twice) and Omaha and CC. Plus 12 games in 28 days. Omaha, CC and Miami are not mathematically out of it, but they would have to step on the gas big time to improve their bottom 3 spots.

Glad Hellsten is going again tonight. With the players we have available this is our best line up, they showed it last night. Let’s get another please!

Not sure why no arm went up at the time but when my wife and i saw the hit along the boards we both said “why wasn’t that called?” THen when play stopped we thought the review was for something that happened near the dislodged net. We too were thinking that they could only review a penalty call for a major. If someone has an answer to this it would be good to hear. Also not experts.

Western is way different than the Clowns, The two games at Kalamazoo were well played and tight both ways by both teams. We played very respectably against western, cant say that was a bad series. I’ll say again, Cornell was an embarrassment. St Clown plays race horse and we apparently were ready for them, Berry and crew were prepared, hopefully they can come up with something tomorrow,

Is Alex back tomorrow so this joker can go back to calling a chess match?

We shouldn’t but can’t, because they are all black and we are at home

Both ways though!

Stick a fork in them

He doesn’t when Alex is there, the idiot he’s working with doesn’t know the game so if Jake wasn’t talking it would be quiet!

Nice

Kind of weak, but I like to hear his small town home boy hockey knowledge

Who made them turn it over? Did they decide to just turn one over?

Yeah nice call

4th line
