Do 3rd string goalies not travel? No Feeney on the line chart

You touched on one of Bubba’s clear strengths - character of team. I think we can chalk up half of Ketts fumble and the dropped passes to coaching. Zero percent of the “find a way” or “refuse to lose” mentality. Boltmann goes out and we go away from the fun-having spread-the-ball offense, 4 carries for 19 yards from Skokna - but 47 pass attempts in what really was a 1 score game for much of the duration? 47 pass attempts, over 50-60% of passes within 5 yards of line of scrimmage? Ish. Bubba has elevated the program - yes. And he’s a good guy, but even when our team is deeper, faster, stronger, smarter - we will still be left with the lack of killer instinct.

Not even looking for good seats, just two next to eachother, preferably upper bowl. Please PM.

I guess I don't know much about how goalies actually play but I feel like Karl does a pretty good job

Watched Miracle during the first two periods, pretty awesome combination

Little harsh for a saturday morning. Go back to bed and relax.

Ratelle? he was injured early and I believe reached some sort of injury settlement.

This is how to properly watch a board and occasionally contribute.

goofer fan. great looks different from the middle of the pack. sad to see that change so quickly.

Should be stated (though late), that Schmaltz got his first big league Gino. What does Utica or the Ontario Reign mean for Stech and LaDue? are they AHL affiliates?

You don't want to lead the nation in any one thing - except maybe W's, 'most playoff games played' perhaps. Do you see NDSU at the top of any category? no. Balance - that and defense and ball control and time of possession.

Not sure where this belongs but: UND defending national hockey title HE doing poorly Gophs bad UND streaking football MVFC doing (relatively) poorly FU fresh off a loss Vikings legitimately good best six months in sports this century ?

Crazy. We win a few games and make a couple presentation changes and all of a sudden it's rainbows and sunshine. Love it! Fly on, Flagship!

I definitely think it matters. We didn't get in last year because we dropped a couple of bad games and then no one in our conference went to bat for us. AJ speaks to the big sky audience in his articles every day - he's never said a good thing about us yet. He helps control the public opinion.

played for Frisk Aasker last season. I nearly purchased a Gaarder jersey from them - still might.

Streveler really got dinged a couple minutes ago.

I know we're stroking egos and giving role players kudos right now - but really, we've got a lot of game changers. Reyes, Arnell, Studs (zero interceptions), Oliveira, Toivonen, Wanzek, Deion, etc. This is a good team.

I know we used to have too many qbs and it was a problem - but look at the last few years - 0 stable. We might not know exactly what we have - but we do have heidelbaugh working on year number 2 waiting in the wings, Bolinkse on year 1 and possibly the most talented on his way in next year in Boltmann. Provided we can develop qbs (TBD), we're in a pretty good spot (also provided we keep bringing in the qb recruits).

I get the feeling if we lose this game we will need to win out to make the playoffs (see STATS poll for sense of respect given to conferences). Even if we lose this game - might not be able to afford two more losses this season.

I think 31-24 - 55 total points is the lowest total I would expect. We are a little more porous on D than last year and they are a little better on O. We might be able to balance their improved passing ability w/our improved secondary. I think they will get their points, so we will have to get ours.

Last year MSU was a big time opponent and two years ago we were extremely impressed that we could play with them. Here's the thing - we just beat them. Again. And we're bitching about it. Almost everyone called a close game - and that's what we got. No I wasn't happy and yes those penalties sucked but let's stop and take in the view for a moment. and then move on to Cal Poly. #BeatTheStangs
