St. Cloud @ UND

[Wilbur]

We still hold all the cards.  Get a win tonight and Denver is 5 back with Western having to win at CC tonight or they'd be out of the running.

Still glad they lost the shootout.  Two BS performances in a row bailed out by a late push shouldn't get rewarded with points.

At this time of year, I'll take points however I can get them.

For a guy that was on fire Strinden has 1 goal in the last 10 games. 

I can't believe they haven't gone back to the Strinden-Ollie-Croal line which only disbanded when Croal was hurt. That was the line when Strinden was red hot and the other two were playing their best as well. I like Strinden's game but he's a guy that fits in much better on a more grind type line vs a skilled top 6 role.

Didn’t read the whole thread so maybe it’s been said already, but I’m glad Špunar got that game out of the way. 

I hear ya but he wasn’t to sharp either though in his previous game last Saturday vs Miami.

I called it on the Homer start. 
Just had a hunch, especially with senior night.

Littler out - Menghini in.

Yeah, I guess that makes sense.

Such an easy switch. Flip Strinden and James!

Homer in net seems like the right call

I watched the 3rd period and OT of the CC/WMU game last night.
Seemed like the puck was in the Western end for the majority of that time.
Hampton had to make some tough saves to prevent CC from winning that in regulation.

CC outshot Western by a wide margin in the first and third periods but Western outshot CC by a wide margin in the second. Mayotte was pleased with his team’s response in the third period. Slukinsky made some big saves in the third, particularly during that late game power play CC got.

You can roll 4 lines all night and wear them down. But Play smarter in your own end for crying out loud. 

James and Geno are both going to tuck one tonight

And no more giving their forwards all the time and space they want. That was driving me nuts last night.

It's not about how you lose but how you respond 🙂

We need much better passing tonight. When the boys passing is on point good things happen. As Scanlan says, they have to be better connected.

L.F.G!

Is Fabian doing color?

[cowboys5xsbs]

Hoping for a big night from our Seniors would be nice for Strinden to find his stride again

I hope Dane and the rest of the brain trust do a little more with goalie depth and development. Homer is a good guy guy and teammate but he's not the future and hasn't been much competition to Spunar.
