Saturday for us also....section 116!

[sioux24/7]

I will be there with friends both nights. Any suggestions on bars for before and after?

[franchise]

I'll be there Saturday, assuming I snag some tickets

[siouxstudent]

I'd be happy with a split. A sweep seems very unlikely.

Haven't had a chance to see the Huskies play yet, this year. Anyone have a read on them? Seem to be able to score despite not having much returning scoring.

Goaltending is their big issue. Other then that might not be good as the last few years.

Good enough to sweep Minnesota...just sayin.'

We need at least 3 points this coming weekend. Getting swept is unacceptable!*

That is because the Goofs choked away 3rd period leads. If we can get some pucks into the net and then not blow the leads, we will do fine.

Brock is so skilled offensively but he is really becoming a defensive liability especially on the PK. His 2 way game is not even close to NHL ready.  I'd go like this for the top 2 lines this weekend:

Gersich Gardner Boeser

JJ Jost Pogo

I think a few of us are meeting at MC Dugout before/after the game.

UND should have swept Minnesota too.

To be fair, SCSU has done their share of choking away 3rd period leads as well.  They were up 3-1 both nights against Duluth and lost both games 5-3, with an ENG icing it for Duluth both nights.

I do agree that goaltending is the biggest weakness for SCSU.  I think SCSU could be very good on the back end come March, but the D is very young and has been exposed multiple times this year.  Despite all the losses to going pro and graduation, the offense has generally held their own.

Love it.  Brock just needs two guys that go hard because from what I see, once Brock gets the puck he's reluctant to give it back to anyone else.  Another option would be...

Cole Smith - Rhett Gard - Brock B. - These guys would be a terror in front of the net when everyone's focused on BB.

Gersich - Jost - Pogo - super tough line to play against

JJ - Hoff - Chris Wilkie - once Wilkie starts playing better this line should pack punch.

Yon - Simo - T Olson (Bowen could work his way in here too).

Am I missing something with Olson?  I like him.  He delivers big hits.  He's not afraid to be in front of the net.

But it seems like Bowen and Yon have far more speed and offensive upside.

Olson is a smarter player if you watch him pass.  Doesn't skate well though.  Bowen skates well but isnt the brightest player if you really watch him.  I wouldnt necessarily call Bowen an offensive player, other than single A high school hockey, he has never been a point getter.  Prior to college, Olson has put up nice numbers everywhere he's been.  So far I've liked Yon's game.

Not the way they played in that Friday game.
