To be honest....it's more than those guys.

Great post. We are missing this concept completely. We are playing like their is way less time than there actually is. Panicking and simply throwing a bad angle shot on net praying for a tip. Those shots are ok in many cases but when there's a back door pass open (creating odd man opportunities), u don't throw it blindly on net.

Very true. Many folks are calling out the talent, and I don't buy that. All these boys were very good junior players.....they are all just used to guys like jost and boeser bailing them out. Yesterday's problem was a lack of effort (both mental and physical). Super tough game to watch. When a team is resorting to throwing the puck to the net blindly from the corners of the ozone (on the power play), they have no confidence.

Western's ok and we were missing some guys obviously. But that was the ugliest loss I've seen in a while. Way worse than those msu games. Roughly 14 minutes of penalties in the 3rd period alone ( against a team with no pk) and they lose the period (and game). To come off a strong second and !@#$ the bed in the third is terrible. They lost every wall battle in the third. Not to mention they were down a dman for most of the third.

Second period looked good....but this start to the third is bad.

Beyond bad....and they can't win draws

Ausmus looks good tonight

No one has ripped on jost. If there is a Sunday morning practice that makes sense.

At this point a kill is a strong pk with this bunch

Wolanin is real good.

Worst pk in Sioux history?

Our 4th is looking pretty rough

This is good though, some other guys will get more advantageous shifts.

Agreed. But the kids from other countries are all playing. If they played tonight it would not affect anything....other than risking injury.

Is fabbro playing for BU tonight? All the other US boys are playing for their respective teams.

Jost not playing to prep for Canada camp? That's a first.

Interesting I thought the D played quite well last night night. Missed the last half of the third. Cam had some good looks at pucks.

Wilkie is solid. Snake bit as hell...but solid.

I'm so sick of these goals immediately after ours.

No, it happened prior to the UM series though. I believe it's his bottom (right) hand. He puts a ton of torque on the bottom hand to snap off his shot so hard.

I would be blown away if he wasnt ready by the WJC. It's one of the main reasons he came back. In saying that though, you'd think the WJC coaches would like to see him play prior to the tourney. I've read that Motzko wanted to make sure Keller got in a few games prior to the tourney (sounds like Keller may play tonight). I bet we see Boeser on Saturday night. If we don't this injury is probably worse than a lot of us thought.

Very true.....and Slovakia will get crushed this year. Maybe's always maybe.....but from what I hear he has a chance at the #3. I'm honestly hoping he plays though. Good kid.

Aapeli Rasanen (Sioux City) hopefully Berry is in full court press on this kid. He'll probably play for Finland's U20 team this WJC.

Well, UConn isnt that great of a school. Huska is a very good goalie and will be the starter. Slovakia has been down for a bit now.
