Re: Bsu @ Nmu 10/23-24

Last night Walt said Billy Smith's wrist is good to go and should play this weekend.

I'm a newbie on this site. Was referred by a hockey officianoto who said this site was interesting. Okay it's cool to read the commentaries.
I think MOJO has wisdom and I agree with his comments. I wonder though did anyone else notice the Mike Maltese factor? Missing against Tech and returned to the lineup against UMD? 2assists on three goals against UMD. I think he is part of the solution. Hope we have a good weekend against BMU. Exciting weekends ahead.

Now that you mention it, I actually didn't even know he was out vs. MTU. Hopefully he can be a big factor for the Cats this season.

Welcome to the board. Whatever you do, don't mention anything about Firing Walt Kyle. You'll get a ton of red chicklets for expressing your opinion.
Especially if you aren't in the majority of opinions with the rest of the NMU fans.

Welcome aboard. First off, look out for the grammar police and do not ever mention a Big Ten Conference for hockey!!! Thanks for the compliments, I guess wisdom comes with age!!!

I really have liked the role Mike Maltese plays when on the ice. While he may not end up on the scoring sheet often he offers a ton with his clean but physical brand of hockey. His play helps open things up for more skilled finishers. I expect continued growth from him and think he is a key to success this year if others follow suit.

Will be nice to see how this series shakes out. Cheering for the New WCHA team: go Beavers.

I think we can talk about the BTHC till we are blue in the face it isn't going to happen.

Where the hell is the PtC thread? I'm going to be out of town Friday so it needs to be up by Thursday.

'Bando's in MQT all day doing class things. My best guess is that it'll be up tomorrow.

Oh, excuse me while I cater to your every need.

PtC will be up soon... I just got home and it's next on my "to do" list.

ETA: Here we are!

Re: Bsu @ Nmu 10/23-24

I'm excited for Billy Smith come back. At the end of last year he came back as a momentum player,and is a crazy fast skater. I would really like to see him play with Pietila (whom I reffed last year), and Nugent who are also really fast skaters.

That's where she grew up - going to the one room elementry school at KI Sawyer) as excited about this series as I am...

I use to drive through Arnold (Northland, Ralph) route all the time as well as a stop at the Knotty Pine for Burger and Fries.... Man, I miss home.......

LETS GO CATS!!!!

The Knotty Pine was sold a year or two ago and is now Scotts Knotty Pine. Same burgers though. Sadly, they took down all the dollar bills from the ceiling.

One of those players mentioned will most likely have to sit out for Smith to return. Last game, NMU went with only 6 dmen as Spady sat out for Maltesse. Based on things so far, Id give the nod to Nugent over Pietila.

Re: Bsu @ Nmu 10/23-24

This should be an excellent series to watch, I think this is a great test for Northern in the early season. I'm interested to read the game recaps from any Northern fans that go to the game ( which i take it will include the vast majority that post on here). Best of luck this weekend
