Cue the celebratory riots in Dinkytown in 3…2…1

Or riots in Minneapolis for other reasons that we all had to endure and have never been prosecuted.

Blake Schmaltz ____??

[KCSioux]

The tripping call and Blake’s penalty in the 3rd were brutal. 

[SiouxCrioux1]

Veteran team needs to step it up big time tomorrow and stop the bleeding. Not exactly how you want to enter a game that 16000 people paid money to travel to see.

[Siouxperman8]

Jandric cheated to high side and gave Knies clear path to the net.   Bad decision. Like in basketball.  Don’t give up the baseline

What was the call on Blake there?

No. Two different games, on different ice. Bad defense and no sustained forecheck. 

My bad. I thought it was a weird continuation game. Against a different opponent. At a different location.

[Oxbow6]

When does Berry break up 15 and 25? Don't get it. Both are so talented.

15 and 7

25 and 4

That was a heartbreaker

[Kevin G]

Senden looked really slow tonight. The bigger sheet does him no favors.

[bcblues]

Well, Minny has been on both sides of the heartbreakers, over the years. I just hope we learn something from this game and we can eek out a win tomorrow.

Brutal brutal loss…that was the game. Tomorrow will be tough. Mn way more skilled

Thought the same thing when Lacombe got a step on him on the first goal they scored.  He just isn't a good enough skater in that situation.

Agreed. DeRidder won’t be able to keep it that close two games in a row. 
Tonight was their chance.

Yah, it felt like we were hanging on for dear life through much of the second half of the game. Didn’t seem like we generated any sustain O zone pressure. Minnesota have better skaters? 

[dden3]

We are getting out recruited by a lot of teams.  Starting to show. Got outplayed badly by a much younger team tonight. Our puck control and breakout is gawdawful. Because we couldn’t skate or compete for the puck with Minn.

[Kevin G]

I'd like to see how James looks on the big sheet. Hopefully he's in the lineup tomorrow night.

Yeah I’m still not sure. Interference??  I really have no clue 

[SiouxScore]

Thought we were gonna hang on and steal a W

DeRidder was really solid but I think he'd want that tying goal back

Took advantage of opportunities but have to generate more, at times it felt like we'd have the puck in O zone with room to operate and we were almost more worried about just getting back to play D instead of looking to make a play. You have the puck look for offense!

Too many careless plays just getting rid of the puck, Minnesota's D is the best in the country you have to make things harder on them too many easy retrievals

Minnesota's offensive depth is much better than ours but I thought we did a decent job limiting chances from prime scoring areas. A much better job in coverage away from the puck as well as getting sticks on pucks/guys

After really sitting back in the 2nd I thought we came out decently aggressive in the 3rd but then about halfway through it is like a switch flipped and we went back to sitting back and chipping pucks in with really no purpose or even forecheck, Minnesota is too good of team to allow easy uncontested outs and think you can just win playing defense. The best defense against them is some o zone time and making their forwards play in the d zone.

[KCSioux]

So with this dumb 3X3 OT, pairwise do we get any credit for a OT loss on the road? 

[bcblues]

I feel that we started out the first period the better team. Then after the first intermission, either Motz said something prophetic, or Berry said something bone headed.

 

Or we just got out skated on a big ice sheet.

Minnesota has better skaters than any team in college hockey. I'd put their d group at the top of the list as well. Part of the lack of o zone pressure was us as well though, seemed like at times they were so focused on playing defense they just pointlessly gave up the puck instead of looking to create and make plays offensively.
