Western @ St. Cloud… Or have the games been called off due to apathy?

[Tipsy McStagger]

Cloud gave that game away.

No diggity.

Western looked like a team possessed in the 3rd and earned it. But up 2 and you get plays like the high stick from Winiecki and Storm icing the puck for no reason? Holy crap. But hey, they sulked on the way back to the bench. So lesson learned.

Never said expectations shouldn't be raised. Just think we're a little over reactionary like… all the time.

Yeah...
What a collapse.
Todd Anderson sucks, but that period is why people react the way they do.

It's a good win but the problem with this team has been consistency.
If they drop one tonight, last night's game doesn't mean much.
Sorry if expectations have been raised, winning titles does that.

Great game last night. Voice is still recovering. As said above, it doesn't matter if they drop it tonight. Need to win the next 3 games, then we can worry about a tough last 4 series.

Fire Bob, season's over and can we trade Rabey for a bag of pucks?!?

Wait… am I a week late?

With Andy Murray and WMU trying to go with the big player move and sitting some smaller skilled players they got killed on the big sheet of ice.

Where the hell has this team been all season!? About time they can shoot past the point.

In an effort to get the discussion back on the WMU vs SCSU series, if either team puts any stock in home ice advantage in the conference tournament, this series is a must win, probably more so for WMU than SCSU, even though the Broncos have a 3 pt lead over the Huskies. Tie breaker could come into play, is it head to head? If so, I think the Broncos need a win and at least another shoot out victory in order to stay ahead of the Huskies

I agree, both teams need points fast if they have any chance of getting home ice going into the playoffs. That maybe more import for the Huskies with the big sheet, but this Bronco team reminds me of last years team, were they seem to play better on the road than at home, so home ice may not be preferred for WMU.

Come conference tournament time, I think you can throw out the seeding and home ice, as all bets are off as to who will end up in Minneapolis. Nothing would surprise me

Tie breaker is conference wins; I know this because going into the last night last year if UND and SCSU had both had the same result, they both would've won a share of the Penrose, but UND would've been the one seed despite SCSU having a 3-1 record against the no-namers.

I know that WMU's been hot lately, but they're a physical team, and they haven't had a game on big ice since they've gone on their little run. Hopefully SCSU can use speed on the big ice and come away with another series win against the Broncos.

I was 99% sure that was why, and I agree with you. Saying people should call the AD about Motzko is ludicrous. I am sure a lot of Gopher and North Dakota fans feel the same way when their fans call for the head of Lucia or Hakstol. But that is a vocal minority of the fanbase. Those are the exceptions, not the other way around.

It was one person who said that too. The players mom/dad that posted just went off and really it was more their fault then the person who ragged on the player.

I am pretty sure it was Lady Wore Black, but not 100% sure. At the NCAA regional game vs Notre Dame last year, she was screaming at the SCSU pep band at the top of her lungs... and it was for the first 2 periods of the game, ANY TIME THE BAND PLAYED. And they were in the opposite corner of the arena in the upper deck, so there is no way they could possibly hear her. It wasn't even what she said, which was mostly just yelling 'you suck' and criticizing their song choices. It was the pointlessness of it, the rudeness of it and the lack of consideration for people sitting around her. I am not exaggerating when I say that about 50 people turned around to see who was screaming. The people directly behind us left to go sit in a different section because it was so annoying.

It is the bandwagon people that I cannot stand. The band gets a free trip when they don't know a dam thing.

I am cool with a lot of people in our fan base. Oh, and don't ask me to make sure you are sober enough to get into an arena. I will throw you into a brick wall. Again.

TB - I still owe you a beer.

Re: Western @ St. Cloud… Or have the games been called off due to apathy?

As for this weekend: I wouldn't go as far as to call this a must win series; we split this weekend then sweep CC, UNO, and tUMD and I would take it happily but this is likely our best shot at a sweep the rest of the season. And if we get a sweep we could likely win a couple of one goal wins. We just need points in a hurry, if for no other reason than to keep the wolves at bay.

Re: Western @ St. Cloud… Or have the games been called off due to apathy?

I stated I hate this fan base bc I had just gotten done reading our series thread with Denver on scsuhockey. Bob sucks, our season is done, squabbling with a player's parent, the team has no heart and very little actual hockey insight. It gets old.

Who was the SCSU fan and what did they say? This board has become lame over the years so I don't post here much any more. I come on here a couple times a week and read stuff, but most of the time it is not worth my time to post and fight with the same people over and over again...
