OgieOgilthorpe Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 Thome with the start? How can you not? Quote
AJS Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 9 minutes ago, OgieOgilthorpe said: Thome with the start? How can you not? I agree, both goalies have a large enough sample size, 13 games for Johnson, 9 for Thome and similar numbers, I'd go with the guy that just got the shutout. If Thome plays well on Friday, give him the start again on Saturday or I wouldn't be against a rotation until one goalie separates themselves. It appears defensively they've found the 6 they want to go with, with Johnson being the odd man out. I'd like to see him get a couple games here on out, but like the 6 they have right now. I really like the offensive ability Kierstad has, only 11 games into his freshman year, he'll continue to become more comfortable as the year goes on. Now the question is with the forwards group, yes, they won 7-0, but imo that clearly isn't the best group they can put out there, Mismash and Adams need to be on the ice. Kawaguchi has been pretty snake bite from a goal scoring standpoint, he's had his chances, but I've liked what he's brought to the table. Need Bowen out there, JJ played possibly his best game of the year on Saturday. To me, it's clear that the bottom 3 are Olson, Simonson and Yon. At the beginning of the year, Berry did have both Olson / Simonson as healthy scratches, will he do it again? Quote

Kawaguchi had a nice pass off the wall for JJs goal, but he missed the biggest gaping net possible. He's starting to play better though. Quote

SiouxTupa Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 Thome made all of about one challenging save last night. Bob would've gotten that shutout as well. Cam starts Friday, and I'm sure he'll be dialed in. Quote

Wilbur Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 BSU has one of those hot goalies........ I say give the net to Thome Friday. Team seems to play better hockey with him in there. It’ll be just like 97 when Blais took out Kvelevog (boy I hope I spelled that right) and inserted Freshman Aaron Schweitzer who took the team to a national championship, and later made me do push-ups at a hockey camp in Regina for saying my favorite goalie was Tobey Kvelevog (it was a joke too....) #THOME4HOBE #Splittsville Quote

Oxbow6 Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 Statistically all this team needs to do is score more than one goal in a game. When they have done that they haven't lost. Problem is if you look at their overall record you get a glimpse at how often they score just one goal because they have lost 6 of those games with one tie. Quote

This is insane. 0-5-1 when scoring 1. 11-0-3 when scoring more than 1 goal. Can you get a more simple formula than scoring 2 FREAKING GOALS? Honestly, this is encouraging, to me. We find some consistency in putting the puck in the net AT LEAST TWICE, we have proven success of being able to win games. Two goals a game is absolutely not hard. 2 Quote

Pete is going to be a very good goalie, but he is not our best goalie today. 16 hours ago, Wilbur said: BSU has one of those hot goalies........

If I am not mistaken, they're quite common on the east coast where the schools are closer together. Quote
