Mankato at St. Cloud

Re: Mankato at St. Cloud

I thought Mankato was going DIII, to make room for UNO and Brrmidji.

No, it's more fun to just remain a WCHA punching bag. This is actually a pretty good looking squad; LOTS of team speed, but Jutting just cycles the same few guys out there over and over until they look like they're skating in mud by the mid-point of the third period. Since they lack any pure scorers, once they lose the speed aspect they're done.

Thanks, I'll pass that on to Motzko.

If he doesn't already know that, he's not paying attention.

DTP, I take it you are bored? That or you are starting to realize SCSU with their 5-11-2 first half is still going to finish ahead of UAA yet again.

Re: Mankato at St. Cloud

Question for Mankato fans: what have you guys thought of Jokinen so far? I thought he was going to be a big factor on your squad before he started with you guys, and the first two years he was only in the lineup about 60% of the time. Obviously his stats are way up this year, including most importantly games played. How do you feel about him, and more about the intangibles; forechecking, special teams play, etc., cause its pretty easy to look up the box score stuff.

Yeah, but UAA has Nathan Lawson. We will just have to settle for another home playoff series.

Mankato always seems to play us tough, no matter the records of the 2 teams. 4-5-3 against them since the 07-08 season. Should be a good series and I'm glad I'm going to both games. Hopefully the Huskies keep riding the momentum of the last few weekends pull out 2 wins, we need the points with our upcoming schedule.

How has Cook been in goal for Mankato this year? I remember watching the last regular season series and then the 3 playoff games and thinking the Mavericks should be set in goal for the next few years the way he was playing. Was that a fluke or has he continued to play well, and the record is more of a product of the overall play of the team?

Re: Mankato at St. Cloud

It's all about the "D" for the Huskies. Will they hold up? Will they step up? Will they stay healthy? Will they shoot the puck? Let me add, will they shoot the puck ON NET? With Eddy back, and yes with Mosey gone, the forwards seem to have galvanized and are producing. Perfect? No, but they are playing well. Mike has not been brilliant, but pretty darn good and on a good run as well. So it brings it back to "D". UMD, ND, Wisco, UNO, Denver still to come. They need to play poised, solid defense. That and hopefully an actual powerplay down the stretch might just give Husky fans reasons to cheer past the first round of the WCHA playoffs. I am hopeful and my fingers are crossed. Go Huskies!!!!

Nice Post. The power play really needs to step up especially agaisnt teams like Mankato, UNO and UND because those teams take ton of penalties. I am glad coach Motzko said on his radio show that they will be working on that and is a top priority. The team is peaking at the right time, but they still have a lot of work to do to get back into the NCAA mix.

Is Jutting still loved and respected? Was he separated at birth from the Dahlie Llama, or Jerry Springer?

Does Jutting still sneak out back between periods and smoke heaters? Does Mankato have any fans left?
