Spoon man is back!

Young and Jubs replaced with Littler and Strath.

Spunar back in.

They really need that split.  Don't want the one-line Dogs to get too full of themselves.
Put the Plante's on their butt or into the boards anytime they hit the ice.

Be careful though, they grew up at Amsoil watching UMD practicing their dives. They won't be as obvious as previous Bulldogs

As much as I think Homer has great qualities if he could be a little more conservative coming out of net and figure out how to use his glove hand, the best situation is having Jan take the net and run with it.  Start the goaltender development again and have Heil come in next year to challenge for minutes and off we go

I hope I am wrong, but Gibson's play in net has underwhelmed me.

He plays like a smaller goalie and uses agility vs using his size and positioning to make the saves.

15 minutes before start of game.  Thought and refection time:  Clarkson and Minnesota games looked like we were going to have a very long season.  However last night showed me that the team is making very good progress.  We will have our own version of the Plante line developed soon.  For me, relax - the wins are going to come, and the end of the year will be exciting.

This team is not gonna win it all, so let's develop a goalie.  I don't know what these hockey program geniuses we have for coaches are thinking-bringing in transfer goalies year after year. Trying real hard to see how this year is going to be materially better than the last several.

@Dave Berger, way to kill the anthem.  Fantastic. 

[bcblues]

Let's play hockey!

[bcblues]

Too easy

[brianvf]

Are you kidding me with that crap?
Just some BS throw in from the blue line?

[brianvf]

0-1 on their first shot of the game.

Really their only sustained pressure at all.

[Oxbow6]

How can Jax not match up better with that top line? 

[Washburn Sioux]

UND playing better, but giving up goals on the first shot on goal is insane.

That's 3 of the last 4 games.

Nothing Spunar could do with all that traffic in front, but geez.

[cberkas]

I remember players of Blais saying you get bench if a shot come in from the point. Get out there and take the shooting lanes away. 

[brianvf]

Now a PK

Beautiful

[cberkas]

Did the defense just forgot how to not get worked? 

[brianvf]

Ollie really hustling.

[Shawn-O]

Seems like a bit of a morgue there tonight 

[bcblues]

Gotta give the fans something to cheer about!

[brianvf]

Cool to tackle a player in front of the goalie I guess?
