Minnesota State 2022-23: Life After McKay

[Iwearpurple]

Not only Furry, but Sandelin is off to slow start- at least statistically. It's good that Silye and Morton have filled some of the scoring void left by last year's departures. Hirose has been more of an offensive defenseman this year.

But so far, this team looks like a typical Maverick team. Defense and puck possession. I think the team will continue to improve as the season wears on and guys come back from injury (Zmolek/Tassy). Perhaps a true #1 goalie emerges.

Zmolek was limping again this weekend. I'm certain that earlier I had seen him and he was not limping. I also heard this weekend that it is possible that both Zmolek or Tassy are out for the season. I sure hope that's not the case.

Losing Zmolek for the year would really suck. On the other hand, freshmen defensemen Wheeler and Cichosz are actually doing well.

Don't know about the rest of you, but I'm good with no more replay. There are 2 referees and 2 linesmen out there. If all 4 missed something, it must not have been that bad.
No more 3 hour games!

Or make major changes to it. Leave replay for goals (and maybe offsides), but eliminate replay for major penalties. None of these calls originally was called a minor. The last 5 minutes of clock time in the 1st period took 29+ minutes of actual time.

I know 2 people who attended that game that had never been to a hockey game before. Don't know what they thought about the game but, I'm guessing they are saying there are many better ways to spend 3 hours.

Can't wait until the third period to start playing, guys.

40 minutes of bad, followed by our best 20 minutes of the season. There have been (and will be) a lot of growing pains with this team.

Could be a long, disappointing season. Can't score.

[MavsFan]

Dominate in shots on goal, in O-zone time, in faceoffs won; get swept. Heavy sigh.

Us Tech fans feel your pain. That was last year for us.

I hope tonight got the "can't score" monkey off their backs. They had been "snakebit" and might have been pressing. Now they remember how it feels to control the game and get rewarded for it.

After a couple of frustrating weekends, its nice to see Mavs overpower an opponent as they did last night. They finally showed some of last year's domination. I also think its great that the new guys are stepping up. Hillman and Fitzgerald looked really good. Hope they can keep the mojo ramped up for an always difficult Bemidji team next Thurs-Fri.

I'm guessing this Thursday's event was scheduled based on Dryden's availability, so I don't want to complain about missing it, but I am very disappointed. Will FloHockey show it?

The last couple games I've watched on Flo didn't come on until almost exactly puck drop. I'm just hoping they start the coverage early enough to catch the ceremony.
