UND @ Arizona State

[brianvf]

Potter is a loss for ASU for sure, but Schimek and Lucius are the two I fear more on ASU's roster.
Those two on the PP is deadly.
Similar to UMD's top line, if you can keep those two off the scoresheet, I like our chances.

I thought they played good earlier this season when ASU visited. We don't need to talk about that Hall of Fame game.

We got homers too

Our guys recognize a good play both ways and compliment the bad guys when they play well.

 Where Geno makes it obvious he is cheering for St. Cloud but he agrees with calls both ways and respects talent on both ends of the ice. 

That to me, is what made it palatable to watch Doug & the Rug on FSN. Woog brought so much to the broadcast even if we knew he was a homer.
“Rusty, Sparky, Spirko.” 
 

Coached to the regionals 12 straight years. RIP Doug. Good man, gone to soon.

I actually love the Homer color/PXP guy.  I don't care what side he is a homer towards.  It shows he cares.  Kind of like when a Visiting team wants to silent the crowd.  

A bit divergent, but I'm a big fan of how The Ralph goes almost silent when the opposing team scores. It's almost as if it didn't happen.  Meanwhile in Duluth, St Cloud, or anywhere else there's 1/4 to 2/3 of the rink cheering for UND's goals.

With Doan getting a new contract, I expect ASU to retire his number

Homer returns to ASU wearing green this time:

Homer said he's looking forward to enjoying the weather in Tempe this weekend. He plans to take a stroll through campus, where he lived for three years.

But he'll quickly turn his attention to the games and his current team.

"The guys here are so close," Homer said. "Being part of a culture that really bleeds hockey is super exciting. I've been super fortunate to be a part of it."

I can see Homer starting a game this weekend for the feels and such of returning to old school

I'm thinking Jan on Friday and if they win or at least play a good game, Homer on Saturday.

My thoughts as well.  Homer has looked better his last few starts when compared to his early season.
It's still Jan's net for the foreseeable future, but I can see Homer getting a start one of the games.

Homer should be comfortable in that rink.
