    While CC’s top line has been on a roll, their goaltending has not. Alex Leclerc has been very average to be kind. Since the turn of the calendar, CC’s scored 24 goals while giving up 26.

     So he's essentially guaranteed to stone wall two shutouts this weekend.  Awesome.

    Looks like GF had a 5-3 lead heading into the 3rd but couldn't hold on.

    When Cam doesn’t have an NHL defensive line in front of him that’s all he is is an average college goal tender. I have always thought that but you say and people and they jump all over you. 

    I hear you,  I said it last year before the season even started and was blasted for it. Not only the defensemen, but you had a group of forwards, while offensively dynamic, were defensively sound.  It made the goalie job much easier. 

  4. The most frustrating thing for me is that they looked better earlier in the year than they have of late, and it's something none of us are used to.  We're all used to the second half surge, and it's simply not happening this year.  Stealing a win tonight would go a long way in buying some time to figure things out.

    Well for a couple of his teams, we'd be saying 1 sweep down, 4 sweeps to go and we have a chance. ;)

    I don't ever recall being in that dire of straights, but if we were, it obviously got accomplished.  But hey, all those fans saying they'd give up all the year in and year out success for a championship might actually get it starting this season. Again, i think this team has the ability, but I'm just not seeing the motivation or effort. 

  6.  In regards to sitting players, at what point do you sit people with a letter on their sweater? Part of being ready, and putting forth 60 minutes is on the captains.  Honestly, we have some freshman and sophomores that shouldn't be sitting based strictly on their effort.  If you want competition, no ones playing time should be guaranteed week to week, except for maybe Wolanin. I still think this team has all the parts to hang number 9, they just need to start clicking.

  7. Personally, i think team makeup might have something to do with it.  What do we have for entertainment value this season? Our most offensively gifted player is a defenseman.  We don't have any personalities like Steph Pattyn and Ben Blood.  We don't have offensive juggernauts like DOT, Pony Express,  or CBS. Now factor in the prices of what many people ask for retail vs the entertainment value on the ice and i think you have your answer.  Maybe it's just me, but while I still follow and watch every game I can, the thought of paying over $100 a ticket for a team that could lay a goose egg on the weekend makes me second guess my purchase.  This is coming from a guy that would happily spend a grand per weekend driving to Grand Forks and buying tickets right on the glass.

  8.  The NCHC is anything but down.  Honestly, this conference this season is even more ridiculous than it normally is because even the bottom feeders are cleaning up on out of conference teams.

  9.  I've had one overreaction since becoming a fan.  It was following a series in Denver in 2016. I decided there was no way that team could play that bad and get anywhere in the tournament, so in my haste, I made plans to visit a friend of mine in April.  I watched UND win the national championship on my buddies couch instead of in Tampa.  I learned to never overreact again. This team has showed that they can put up terrible games, but have also showed they can skate with the very best in the country.

    "Yeah, uh, hi! Am I on? Oh, hi. First time caller, long time listener. Love your show. I think it's great. I've played along at home but never really done well but I'll give it a try anyways. I"m thinking Grant Mismash will want to get one on his old team, especially since he's not with the U20s, so I'll take him. Yeah, Mismash. That's all I had. I'll hang up and listen. Love your show. Thanks."
