Are you impressed with them?

Because after 6 games I just don’t see it... 

To be honest, I'm gonna go down the middle between you and Mafia Man.  Not sure they're a top 10 team as they are in the PW (probably should be around #12 or so).  I say this; if this series is at home and the way we carried most of the play for at least 4 of the 6 periods then we sweep Denver.  However, Denver gets great goal tending against us (all season long save for our 1 win), is a really good home team at mile high altitude, and we really struggle to score (I assume more so on the road vice at home) so really no surprise this wknd.  However, we lose to Canisius twice so did not grab home ice.

So Brad Berry once again promises they’ll be back next year and that they need to fix the power play.  Sounds familiar!  Next year we’ll hear that the non conference games against weak competition are huge in the pairwise.

DU:  2-2 against UMD.  Your company line if that’s UND?  “We can play with anyone in the country!”

Company line? Lol dude. You're so butthurt.

I'm a fan just like you. You've consistently gotten more and more personal with your swipes as this year has gone along. Why? Because you disagree with me?

I gotta think it was sarcasm.  Your season is on the line, you are offensively challenged, of course you pull the goalie.

More just not a fan of pulling the goalie when we have sustained pressure with 5. If it was just another game sure but like i said when the season is on the line and only down by one.... we just saw what happens most of the time when you pull the goalie but hindsights 20/20

I think they’re a top 20 team, but not top 10. They do have good goaltending and I’d say that has a lot to do with why their record is what it is. They started hot, which helped,  and tailed off in the second half.

6th place and miss the NCAA's again next year.

Seeing that Tucker has spent most of this year in the minors should weigh into his decision.

If they truly find a way to fix the power play and get any kind of help from freshmen in scoring, they can get back, but words aren’t going to help. Would be interesting to see from Schlossman the last time our leading goal scorer only reached ten.  Not a high bar to attain.

If the Jets would stop playing Big Buff at defense he'd be playing in the NHL.

No worries.  Hennesy will explain everything in a few minutes.  Tonight’s game just boiled down to some bad puck luck and unlucky bounces.

What? No "hot goalie"?

Hey, fair point.  In retrospect, we almost seem to do better 5 on 5 than with a man advantage so perhaps you're on to something.

Buff has missed significant time injured,playing 37 of WPG's 71 games this year.

Tucker has yet to see an NHL game other than in suit in a suite.

Colton would be well advised to return to school, I dont see him near where his brother was when he left.

Mark?

24 years as strength and conditioning coach. It may be time to bring in some new blood, things have changed dramatically in strength, conditioning, and nutrition; sometimes old dogs refuse to get outside their comfort zone.

Take it all into perspective...we are pretty spoiled to be Sioux fans.  There are a lot of teams out there that have never won anything so lighten up.

So we should be pacified to never win anything again until the rest of college hockey catches up and wins one?    OKAAAY.
