Don't bother using reason then. Just say "Your mom" and be done with it.

Good idea.

The KRACH also has you guys as the strongest SOS so far. Just some food for thought.

Don't matter one iota.

Team hasn't shown anything yet. No surprise wins, not really any surprise losses. Just one big boring middle of the road team. Exactly what we don't expect or want here.

Well, it might matter a little bit. Unfortunately, this team has shown an inability to consistently pass well let alone show any coherent plan of attack in the offensive zone. My expectations for any Gopher team is that it comes up the ice quickly with sharp passing and puts a lot of pucks on net. That has happened very little this year no matter who the opponent was.

You guys have shown the ability to strike quickly after a turnover. You made a living off of UW's mistakes 2 weeks ago. Now, just find a way to control play and you'll be back to your dominating selves.

Almost won @ UND.
But now SCSU gets the glory and satisfaction of having beaten UND at home.

How long can Don Lucia survive there, in the middle of the road, before getting run over or chased off the road completely?

If any of the following happen this season: 1) middle of the pack, 2) miss NCAAs (missing F5 will also hurt), or 3) another player leaves, there will be a Gopher fan meltdown and Don Lucia's future will be questionable.

EDIT:

There's still a lot of hockey left to play.

...outscored 12-9 in the third.

Sounds more like the Gophers are not as well conditioned as the competition. Just maybe if the Gophers had a coach like Dean Blais the team would be in top physical condition.

Last season, UNO got off to a school-record 12-4-3 start but fizzled in the second half, finishing 15-17-8.

“The way we've been working, we've pushed ourselves to a new level,” DelGrosso said. “We thought we had a good start last year, and we thought we worked hard. But this year, it's 10 times what it was last year. So I definitely think everybody's excited to get going.”

Reading the article dates will help you to stay current on your resource material . Conditioning has not been a huge issue this season.

Up and down, they occasionally work. Jup's out of town this week with little/no access and I don't have the keys.

Would you give yourself the keys? Yeah... didn't think so.

Unless things change the season is going to be long.
