Ns was whining quite a bit tonight.

Agree on the side of pattyn however murph looked good last week. Very small sample size I agree. I get the concern though. Schmaltz has to play with pure finishers. It will be on hak if they look terrible; I'm pulling for murph though.

No way BC gets past Denver.

I have a feeling they try to play him. Or they are trying to get him ready for Saturday if they win.

Anas out there?

Huh? I'm in minny.

Why wouldn't the Sioux fans in Minny make it? Sioux falls isn't far away...isn't it close to the TC than GF?

How does the pt system work (per round)?

Tech 53%? How many brackets did you fill out Mafia?

If he can't improve his foot speed you're probably right. However, his shot is NHL ready. I don't think he has anything else to prove at the college level, he's ready to see if he'll have a career in hockey.

...and not overly smart. This isn't a video game, Mattson is 100% a D, not a F. The offense he provides is from the point, I can almost guarentee he would be useless up front, he's a little too timid. He needs time and space to operate. In the offensive zone, the offense is designed to play on the walls and in the corners. I don't think mattson would have the grit to play there.

WTF? Mattson at F? Also, your last two sentences are contradicting.

I honestly think that is what he will do however what would be a "loaded two lines"?

Interesting. I was wondering if Murph would get another look.

You're probably right, but he was noticeable out there and he looked like a top 6 forward to me. He was very good in juniors so if he has found his confidence somehow I would be in favor of rolling him out there. It could not only pay dividends this year but also the next two years.

I honestly think there may be a slight chance....he was decent on Saturday. I think Pattyn should play a bottom six role...it fits better for his style of play. Caggs, Schmaltz, Parks Chyzk, LJ, Murph (or Pattyn) OD Gaarder Pogs Pattyn (or Murph) Simo Poolman Roll four lines. Those 3rd and 4th lines will be tough to play against. I believe we have final line change so we could drop that LJ line in only in the O zone.

Haha, nice.

Any guesses on lines?

That's what I was thinking. Comes across cheesy now, just my personal opinion though. Haha some of you guys are a hoot

Please...please stop the burn the ships thing. Pretty cheesy.

Very true, these conspiracy theories are laughable at best. The boys played bad...that's all. Did they end up in a more friendy bracket? It would appear so however who knows in the grand scheme of things. Parks, Caggs, all the other playmakers have been in a offensive slump for a while. Mac and Parks were even struggling against WMU. We need Parks to put the team on his back and go out with a bang. I think he'll be a solid third liner in the show if he can keep his consistency up. Still shocked we don't have a PPG guy on this team.

It's all relative.

Wow...so you're the guy who jinxed us last year.

Sounds like Anas (Mr. Dirty Paws/Filthy Mitts - for all you Bucci haters ) is out for Friday's tilt.

I could see that lineup. Not sure about st Clair but he's a true 3rd 4th liner that buzzes so it would make sense. Not to mention he's a junior and is decent on the pk. 27 that far down huh? It would balance things out I guess. I don't have a better combo that I could think of. I actually thought murph looked decent though. However I would probably play st Clair over him given what I previously mentioned.
