Fine, Huskies is supposed to be spelled in the rouser.

It is, the band spells it out during the second time through the rouser.

Re: SCSU 2009-2010 Season Thread

It was Dunn's 3rd straight bad start and 3 of the 4 goals (on just 19 shots) were bad and these points are too important.
Yes they were flat, but if Dunn makes saves on the first two goals like he should have, that's a tie game heading into the 3rd.
UAA's 4th goal was a good shot, but he was not in position, another on him.
Lee responded and make several good saves and has been flat out better overall the last month, he should get the UND series.

Also, Huskies is spelled in the rouser as it's played the 2nd time, not after it.

You guys want Lee to start the rest of the way, fine by me. I'm usually wrong about these things anyway (See: drafting Mauer, Joe, Harvin, Percy and Peterson, Adrian) but if he starts to look like 1st half Mike Lee again, then do you go back to the well and tell Dunn, "Look, I know we benched you, and then our golden boy sieved out, but we have all the confidence in the world in you."?

Lee has played better and should start Friday. If he plays well he should start saturday as well. If Lee plays like he did last night the rest of he year this team has a shot at the national title.

To be fair, Lee was helped by UAA a lot last night. Lee made like 3 phenomenal saves, and then a ton of boring, routine ones. When I looked up at the scoreboard after the game, I thought 33 shots was way too generous, and maybe there were that many, but not too many were quality opportunities. Him stuffing that kid backdoor was pretty solid though!

Of course I'll cheer for the gopher if it helps us in the pairwise or league title chase. It doesn't mean I'll like doing it though. When all things are equal, and pairwise/league standings aren't in play, it always comes down to the order of hatred (which I was introduced to years ago by a Sioux fan) when deciding who to cheer for/against, and the gopher is #1 on that list.....which goes something like this for me:

WCHA Order of Hatred:
1. Gopher
2. UMD
3. Kato
4. Wisco
5. CC
6. Denver
7. UAA
8. Mich Tech
9. Sioux (I'm probably not the norm here but they're a distant second favorite after the Huskies. As for this weekend, Sioux are #1 on this list.)

Oooh... I LOVE these lists! My turn, my turn!

1. Gophers
2. Duluth (but these ******** I think will take over the number one spot real soon)
3. Wisconsin
Big Break
4. Denver
5. Anchorage (I know they're supposed to be lower, but I'm sick of their fans and they're "we don't have any talent, so we're gonna be hacks." Plus after years of cheering for them to win every game and them never doing so, they're starting to **** me off)
6. Michigan Tech (Almost the same as UAA: MTU = UAA + awesome fans)
7. Colorado College
8. Mankato - How can you dislike Mankato? They're so much of a non-factor, and don't say they have a good record against us as of late... we just have imploded against them.
9. UND - I share your feelings on the Sioux, but won't delve into that this week.

Hey Motox, you going to the game Saturday?

I'm indifferent at this point. It was brought up on DaHuskies that Dunn did shut down UND in Grand Forks and for that reason, I would not mind giving him one more start this weekend, probably on a short leash. Then again, if Bob wants to start Lee on Friday and he looks good, I wouldn't be opposed to giving him the start Saturday.

Oooh... I LOVE these lists! My turn, my turn!

2. Duluth
3. Mankato
4. Wisconsin
5. Denver
6. UAA
7. Tech
8. CC (maybe they should be higher after this year, but I can never find a reason to dislike them)
9. UND: This is scary that we've all put UND as last considering they are our "natural" rival. I'm in grad school at UND and hold student season tickets. This year, awkward as it was at first, I have dawned a Sioux jersey to almost all of their home games, save for wearing the cardinal and red when the Huskies visited this season. I'll cheer for them and wish them all the luck in the world, unless it impacts my first love, SCSU.

I think Dunn has to realize he's playing himself out of the rotation and shouldn't be too disappointed if Lee gets the nod. He will be aware that if Lee sieves out he's going to get the call and needs to be prepared for that. Obviously we wouldn't have all the confidence in the world or else he wouldn't get pulled, but hopefully that motivates him to step up and play like he as at the beginning of the year if given the chance. Funny thing is, the way I'm making it sound it's as if the decision that Lee gets both starts has already been made? Or maybe it has!

As for Mankato being so high on the OoH, they DO have a decent record against us and we ALWAYS seem to lose to them at the worst time possible. If that happens again this year I'm going to be really ****ed!

Won't be in attendance for either game. Have a big test to take Sat morning but I'd like to head over to Sensors to watch the Sat night game. That has about a 15% chance since the wife took both kids to AZ this wknd and it would be a tall task to get her to agree letting me have another night off of parental duties (understandably so.) Probably just going to be watching both games on B2. Speaking of which, I watched last nights game and Doyle and the other announcer need to quit talking about non-hockey related stuff during play. It's insane! There's up and down action going on and the guy (not Doyle) is talking about getting people from Alaska to bring him up Halibut fishing, doh!

Just saw in the paper today that Benik had a role in all 6 goals scored yesterday, that's pretty good.

That may be so but I am still of the opinion that spelling F - Y is far better. Also, the Sports Band is not a good fit for hockey games in the first place. They use the wrong chants at the wrong time and they just mess up the general atmosphere of the arena. It may work fine for football and basketball but the Sports Band has no place at hockey games.

Besides, no self respecting music major would pride themselves in playing in pep band. Mr. wore Black has a music degree from SCSU and is currently a graduate student in musicology. He even agrees with me.

Student tickets for the UND series can be picked up this coming Monday, February 8th. http://www.stcloudstate.edu/athletic...&storyID=30900

Any student out there willing to grab an extra one for me each night? I still look like a student and have access to valid student IDs. That sure would beat the pants off of paying 30 bucks per night. How about you STB?

I have a ticket for each night with your name on it. Let me know a good way to get it to you!

Outstanding. I'll send you an e-mail through whatever address you have registered on USCHO. If that doesn't work, well, we'll figure something out.
