We're fine....we'll get a lucky one soon.

3 on 1 and he shoots it....Rowney must have 0 vision

Cities folk....where can a guy stream the audio of the Goof game today? ESPN3 isn't working. What radio station?

Lets get at it today....let'm know early that they can't hang with us. I hope the Sioux come out early putting everything on net. Canadian-style hockey wins championsips. Work the wall, muck in the corners, throw everything on net and the forwards MUST play responsible in our own zone.

Touche....that MN goalie though....that kid can play. I would be shocked if he gave up more than 2 goals today. The guy NEVER gets blown up, I highly doubt that happens against a team as terrible as Yale.

Well put.

Veteran move....trying to jinx us early. Two can play that game.....gophs cruze through the game today, no doubt in my mind. I'm calling 5-1 after 2.

Ding ding ding! And that will always be the case no matter which conference those hockey teams play in. In general the majority of people from Ohio no nothing about the game of hockey...except that when they catch a Blue Jackets game they may get to see a fight...which they again will not understand (why ifs apart of the game). Those fanbases no nothing about college hockey because they don't understand the game...and the majority of the people in those areas never will.

This is what I'm banking on....and a bunch of early Yale goals.

I don't like him up there but on a positive note, maybe OD starts loosening up. He's been up there for more than a few games now; I bet it's becoming more natural for him. Hopefully we get some scoring from the 2nd and 3rd lines this week(end). If we do and our D and goalies come to play we win both games.

Agreed.

College Hockey will never be popular across the entire country...it's a different animal than basketball and football. Hockey is a tight knit "family" and thus I don't agree with your reasoning. I don't mind the realignment at all. I simply don't think the big ten hockey conference will work...they will have 3 decent teams year in and year out. Even Wisconsin is only good every 3-5 years or so.

Check what happens in 2014/15/16. The big ten is a dying conference. Their only hope is basketball and the southern schools are already passing them (besides this season for some odd reason).

Weird I can barely get the channel. If the teams are not good their network will not be big and bad ( I guess all the good SEC fb teams play on the big networks every Saturday). They had better hope their basketball can continue their success.

You have to be kdding me...besides this year's basketball conference the Big10 has been terrible in pretty much every sport for the past 7-10 years. Their football conference is barely above terrible. Any top SEC teams play any of the top Big10 football teams it gets ugly from the very first whistle.

I have been in favor of putting Rocco up top since the pre-season however my thoughts are starting to change. One line can be shut down, plain and simple. Now do I think Niagra could shut that line down....no, but MN could. Over the last few games I have noticed that Caggs is really stepping up and making plays, maybe we through him up top, or Parks. Below are the line combos I think would work but I don't think Hak will make any drastic changes this late in the season (other than switching goalies). caggs-knight-Kristo Parks-Rowney-Rocco OD-Mark Mac-Gaardner (however someone other than Gaardner and MiMac may need to go here...St. Clair?) Pattyn-St Clair-Rodwell/MiMac In all, I don't think our offense is struggling. We need to play tight in our own zone and clear open shooting lanes so our goalies see clear shots. Also, our goalies must play better. Tips/defelcetions will go in every blue moon but we can't let in 1-2 softies every game. I think the Sioux will come out flying on Friday.

That Union goalie has only given up +2 goals once since February 23rd....what's the chances they sneak by BC. That would be a riot.

I'm usually the pessimist....but I think you have me beat. We beat Niagra and win a thriller over Yale in OT.

Agreed cant overlook Niagra but we should be able to wear them down. Lets put a ton of shots on net early and show them why our program is superior. Let them know why we are current under-ranked. We also need to figure out who's playing net and who should be on our top 6....two biggest questions that I have.

Und won't play a wcha team in the first game.

That second scenario of his is completely ridiculous....that could be a final four. I'm still confused why Quin holds their top spot as they are losing to some of the worst teams in the country. Looks as though BC is a shoe in for the 4.

I saw them in Omaha too....they live in the cities

Agreed.

I blown away that scsu may not make the big dance....when was the last the wcha champ didn't make the NCAAs

I agree it was nice seeing the gophers lose, however we were the better team on Friday and the boys need to forget about all the close losses recently and focus on crushing whoever they get next week. They have been frustrating to watching but we have to roll off four wins in a row now. #streakstartsnow
