    I've thought we've turned the corner many times this season.  They seem to always follow it up with a dud. 
    If they can get the W tonight, that'll be a step in the right direction.
    Another tie or loss tonight and it'll just be same-old, same-old.

    I may be overly optimistic but I really like these line combinations and D pairs.  We will need goaltending to come around but I thought Helsten was very solid once he settled in in the 2nd and 3rd.  We overcame two 2 goal deficits and Blakes goal should have counted as how the rule reads.  Berry needs to stick with last night's lineup barring injuries imo.

    I tend to disagree. I see a light at the end of the tunnel after this game.  We have some line combos now that show chemistry if Berry doesn't put the forwards names in the hat again to draw lines. Bast looked good along with most of the rest of the defense excluding a couple D.  Think the Beaver gets pounded tonight.

    We're sitting about where Denver was at this time last year. I might be the only one who thinks this but I think we turned the corner in our season in the 2nd period last night.  Just don't mess with these line and D pairings barring injury and we should get the ship righted soon.

    After last Saturday I felt this team had to win that game. Too many serious holes. Can’t scrounge out a win against BSU there’s issues.

    We sure pounded the beaver...ha ha.  Pretty limp 

    If we keep playing like we did in the 2nd and 3rd things could turn around for us.  The line of Gaber Mac and Blake were beasts.  I think the 2nd and 3rd peiods of this game will be pivotal to us turning things around.  Karl must have put these lines together for this game love the lines.

    Well, Driscoll had a 9.08 save % compared to 9.11 for Chrona last year, and the year before, Scheel was at 9.31 compared to 9.07 for Chrona.  Maybe if Scheel stays another year like Chrona did, he blows his save % out of the water again.  The perception is always that we are horrible at everything, when in fact the numbers don’t always follow suit.  Yes, we are struggling to this point, but at the same time last year, people were running Driscoll out of town.

    It takes time for the game to slow down for goaltenders. Give Helsten more net time and I think he'll just get better and better.  Desiev should already be past the point of the game slowing down. I say we give Helsten the net and ride with him.

    He might be forced to with how many people got dinged up tonight.
    Frisch, Kleven, Hain, Senden...they all seemed to have some issues tonight.
    Hopefully a few of them can still roll tomorrow.

    Yes barring injuries. I thought our D pairings were good too especially Bast. Kleven got walked though.

    No doubt.
    Imagine if we had this year's offense output with last year's defense and goaltending?
    We'd be a top 5 team right now.

    I've been kind of getting down on the team but after looking at the stats I feel that this years situation may be easier to fix. We just gotta get better defensively, which should be an acheivable goal. Seems much harder to come up with offensive production like was the problem last season.

    Our special teams play continues to be excellent (top 10 in both PP and PK).
    If not for our save % and defense, we could be a really good team!  ;)

    The irony is that last year we couldn't buy a goal and this year we're scoring goals but can't keep the puck out of our own net.

    Schloss is calling the split.
    BSU wins in Bemidji and UND wins in GF.

    I'd say a split is probably what to expect.  UND hasn't shown that it can string together a strong 120min in a weekend yet this year.

    It looks like it…they’ve seemed to up the price considerably. $30 for the month, dang. They’re baiting you into that annual option.

    Is there any You Tube option or anything but Flo?  Awful spendy for Flo for one game when already have NCHCTV. Looks like NCHCTV is carrying Miami/Michigan State game.
