I had a ski trip the last weekend against Omaha and couldn't watch much last night, but I'm rooting for them to emerge from Sioux Falls, especially if the Gophers get them in the first round. Good for Gabinet and their program finding the success they've had in the second half.

Gaber is so incredibly one dimensional. He’s a good player, but you can’t ask him to win you games. He needs a lot of help. A poor man’s Ryan Duncan.

Why take his one dimension away from him on the power play.

The "bumper" is the most overrated position in hockey.  Pretty much useless.  They just stand and watch the puck getting passed around.

TJ Oshie is the only guy I’ve seen be effective at that position and I’m not sure he wouldn’t be better elsewhere on the PP either.

Morning hangover review after taking several deep breaths: it was an ugly loss, but in many ways it was set up that way. Putting gaber in the bumper position, backup goalie in, a lot of play from the third and fourth lines, and our defense handcuffed by not blocking shots. 

Taking that in perspective, I'm hoping we see what are team is capable of next week. Just hope we see incredible efforts and hustle & if we do that we will do fine.

He was the “bumper” on the PP!  Smart move taking him off the wing where he snipes like our last Hobey winner for the last several years. Inexplicable coaching move. He was a non factor in the bumper spot. 

Did he play bumper at all this year?  Seems odd that they would move him out of his “office” on the power play for this one game.

As frustrating as this was maybe you are on to something.   Let's try some different things but don't put ourselves in a position that hurts us next week.  If we win fantastic if not it won't be the end of the world.

Except we prefer to skate the puck around the zone on the outside.  Easy to defend, Defense just needs to shadow till the next player takes over.  We don't move the puck fast enough to matter, we always hold onto it.

I agree. UNO has earned their way into the tournament. The run they’ve had this second half of the season is truly impressive. I think Schloss said at one point, they were 24th in the Pairwise a few months back and here they sit at what, 11th? I’m definitely buying into what Gabinet is doing and I’ve been one of his biggest critics the past handful of years.

Where's @Goon or Schloss to dig deep into this? 

Your guess is as good as mine. He missed the first two days of practice this week. “His situation,” Berry said.

Wasn’t there a guy on that Jersey Shore show called The Situation?:D

Seems like this team and several recent seasons have this lack of fire in them..  Can Cary Eades guest coach for the next few weeks?

 

As someone noted, seems like top lines sat more than usual...  gaber giving a new pp assignment...  back up goalie...   is B-Rad playing the long game and this is his maniacal plan for the national tournament??

 

I miss Cary Eades, and I think this program does too.

Someone who was there yesterday said the attendance was surprisingly small. Is that true?  What was the attendance?

Guessing attendance tonight will be pretty poor as well.

The CHN box score said attendance was 8,977.  I was there for the afternoon game and no way was it almost half full.  I'm guessing maybe 2500.

I mean you are always going to get a good turn out in Michigan when it’s Michigan and Michigan St. That’s a gimme.
