Camera caught Karl not particularly warm with Dane shaking his hand.

MAC ATTACK

There it was.  Finally!   

Was hoping we'd see some more glimpses from Zellers and Reschny, but both pretty quiet.
Verhoeff looks good though.  So does Zakreski and Kernan.

[Esoteric]

UND get that game on Sunday because St Thomas is going to generate pairwise points.

[cowboys5xsbs]

Not sure how I feel about Sunday games will have to multitask with football going on

The good:

1. Zakreski-Littler-Croal were awesome

2. Homer made some solid saves when tested

3. Verhoeff gets his first

4. Rickwood did a lot of good things most of the game

5. Team came out hard and were great for the first 30 minutes.

6. Liked that Laurila wasn't noticeable, no terrible mistakes I remember.

 

The meh/bad:

1. Flat last 30 minutes

2. Kernan, Reschny, Zellers showed their youth and weren't great for stretches. Thought Verhoeff had some bad moments with the puck too.

3. Power play needs some adjustments

 

Good dub overall!

Will take them a little time to adjust to the size and speed. It’ll come.

Nice work overall. Beat the Tommies to loose pucks, crashed the boards, solid goaltending, and nice passing on the power play. Still too many stick penalties but pleased with what I saw.

Went back to watch again.

Yeah...that was def a bit awkward.
Like running into an ex-gf unexpectedly.    

[Sioux90]

Wow. What a post game interview. Jacks.

[brianvf]

Cut back on those stick infractions.

Really liking Rickwood so far.  Great portal pickup from the looks of it.
Menghini showing some speed at times.

Apologize if this is already here.   Is the Sunday game on Midco or NCHC.com? 

[nascar99]

The fact that they put up 6 goals tonight and only had their foot on the gas for 30-35 minutes means this team could be pretty freakin fun once they get dialed in

[Sioux90]

Sunday will be more competitive I think. Solid start. Growing pains, but St. Thomas isn’t an average team. 

[siouxfan512]

"Good game!" .... That awkward moment where you have to shake the hand of the guy you just fired.

Only available on CCHA stream I think...I'm going to the game; want to watch these guys in person.

Was there tension over Berry.  Choosing sides about Berry decisions??

Really interested to see how St Thomas finishes in the CCHA and overall national rankings. They're not super skilled but skate their a** off and work extremely hard all night.

[Sioux90]

That James goal was the epitome of “Speed Kills”. Beautiful play.

Does the Midco have a pay for CCHA games?

Jacks needed a former head coach. Karl wasn’t the guy.

Seriously thinking of going too. Ireland has been on my bucket list for a long time 

Go for it and have fun for the rest of us.

There is something that went on with Berry and Jax. I am not trying to restart any speculation but it is odd how Berry is not really brought up in any conversations but Hak is all the time. I think Karl may have sided with the person who isn’t the coach now.

Strinden remembered he can pass!

Because basically setting up two open net shots makes him a puck hog.

It's a tough gig, no doubt.  Coaches get hired to get fired.

I was under the impression that Karl was blindsided by the firing. I think it’s more philosophy and experience, versus the drama.
