Frustrating with the skill this team has but they give up way too many "soft areas". Pond hockey will not hang #9.

iluvdebbies too

Go away please.

Watching PSP, Matt Morelli is hilarious when he gets irritated with Minot's play. He's pretty hard on his hometown team. I think it's him doing color tonight? PSP is such a great thing, they do an outstanding job. Think they are doing WDA again.

Ok Norway then?

Abrahamson can beat a goalie clean from the dots in. She can fire a puck. Great hockey player.

nothing wrong with gong back to USHL at this point in his career - he will still be an NCAA D1 player somewhere

Our WJC team v any D1 NCAA team would be interesting too. Or SWE Canada etc...

Drop the mits at least

i think we put 5 or 6 in this one now

We have more skill than most of the teams, you would think 3 v 3 would be to our advantage. Hopefully they can clean up play a bit in the second half, probably a little too much "pond hockey" at times.

Sweeds should win 3 v 3 but you never know

Assuming we win today do we get SWE/SUI winner?

We don't have to worry about getting bounced by the Slovaks this year.

I'm not having a problem cheering for the Sweedes over Canada. Probably spoke too soon.

Will he remain a Bulldog next season? I guess I would think so. Good deal for him to not forfeit his NCAA eligibility while being able to practice and play games at an elite level.

I guess I sorta get it (major junior) as school isn't for everyone but I think WHL, OHL, QMJHL are continually losing ground developmentally to NCAA. For example, I would have liked to have seen Minot's Shoenborn play D1 instead of going to WHL. He found himself in hockey purgatory after juniors where as Morelli is making a real run, signed an NHL contract with a tough squad to crack but is an AHL regular and hopefully gets the call. There's a kid playing for Sioux City who was offered a full ride at Penn State and chose to play in the OHL for Erie. He was on the U-17 NDTP. He would have been an over-ager this season for them and he was released. Got picked up in USHL but what's his path now? Had Cole Smith played major junior I don't believe he would have developed into an NHLer. He might not have been on anyone's radar which was good in his case hence the MJHL. He came into NCAA as a below average skater and left as an NHLer. I think it's a great story and example of what NCAA can do developmentally. Kanes, Toews, Bedards, Oshies etc... doesn't matter what path they take. Duncan Keith left Michigan State to play in the WHL as well but he's a world class defenseman either way. Lot of bad advice out there in my opinion.

Imagine what 4 rounds of playoffs would look like although it will never be feasible at the college level. No one and done but there would be several teams without a championship as well. It would probably come down to the any of the 6 to 8 usual's every year. Maybe not a good thing for college hockey?

You’re talking about the same goaltending that stole one from Wisconsin, came into this series with a GAA below 2 n a save % of .927 or something like that? In my mind he didn’t have a chance on the first 4 Friday night either. It happens but weak-side assignments get missed, especially when chasing and/or tired. It happened last night in the third but the puck never got across, had it the game would have been over in regulation.

Got out while it's good I guess. Not a fan, a monkey coulda coached some of the teams he had. Sorry if I offended anyone.

Hope not, ESPN+ app has been nothing but garbage for me.

Sorry folks, yes. Made me laugh.

No I'm not happy about Saturday. My original comment was facetious no doubt. I didn't care for the carve regarding the hockey program is all. It was the term "unfortunately" which I perceived as a carve. Yes I want the football program to be better and more consistent, not at the expense of hockey though. I probably took the post I responded to out of context. Happens all the time these days with forums and texts etc...

Are you angry?

How is that unfortunate? Sorry, it'll always be hockey just not women's hockey.
