Unless things change the season is going to be long.

It already is. I can't help but feel that the Gophers just lost three in a row to teams that looked inferior skillwise to them. Granted, things didn't really bounce their way this weekend, and the refs didn't really help their momentum last night, with a couple calls on non-existent penalties when they had the lead. But they should have enough skill and drive to rebound from those things, instead of half the team starting to stand around. Schroeder is looking pretty good lately, but that is balanced out by a few others. Flynn had one good shift last night where he controlled the puck using his strength and created a couple chances. I expected to see that somewhat regularly as he had some games like that towards the end of last season. However, that was about the first shift I noticed him this year.

They need to start winning some games or the season is lost. What a waste of all last summer's anticipation. They just don't ever look like they believe in themselves, and teams that don't believe, will always underperform.

Can we go back to recruiting 1-and-done talents? I am tired of losing already.

The esoteric number 23 has been summoned on the 23rd for 23 invocations of silence and reflection among those who mourn, for the voiceless prey continue to render their brain pulp to the voiceless messenger who feeds upon all who hath tormented me, and the agony of the is to be shall only sustain itself in shreiks of pain, and serve as signals of warning to those who have resented my being. Be forewarned, for from the day of summoning and the sounding forth of retribution by the guardians of benign power, the bifid barbs of torment and bewilderment relentlessly mock the arrogant and strong until the time is complete. Let those who have ears hear the sound of the anguish of the one whom you have trodden under foot. Let those who have ears listen to the sounds of the venomous minions that have carried the bitter sting of scorpions upon his soul. All will be accomplished in the day. No return shall be permitted until the sanctity of the mind that lurks in arrogance is reeling with remorse. These are the signs that from their going forth shall pierce those who mocked my being and thereof the angles of the first dimension become the substance of the third. The vital salts within shall not flow unhindered, but a stagnant morass of stifling confusion will reach the heights of arrogance and penetrate all that lies in the path of retribution benumbing them to helpless futility according to the spirit of him who waits in remembrance as the 23rd.

Jockstock/Harley's first appearance since the "outing"?



Brad over on the Sioux blog made a comment about how 9 of the Gophers next 10 opponents have losing records. If the Gophers are going to turn it around, they can certainly start now.

Apply for DIII status, the gophers could be competitive against St. John's, etc.

I'm here to help.

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

I didn't say Jup made a bad decision!

Yeah.... I had zero internet while on vacation, which was a good thing actually. Unfortunately the server needed to be restarted and even if I gave you more access to the board it would not have helped. You needed server access, which is a totally separate thing than being the message board admin. So it's a completely different ball game.

So I am not familiar with all the USCHO forum protocol. After what date can I expect to see a "tubes" thread started? If they get swept by the CCHA, will that be enough? After all, there are essentially 2 "Fire Lucia" threads already.

And since I am lazy and haven't gotten an answer elsewhere, is the MICh game on FSN on Friday and the MSU one not televised?

Which is even a better decision by you!
I blamed goalphers for the whole thing.

Correct.
The MSU game is also not on the radio, it is on static (AM1570) so if one happens to live across the street from the transmitter and adjust the tin foil hat correctly one could possibly listen to the game - at least until the sun sets.

Hey, could somebody quick list all the guys you have that have commited and are scheduled to play next year? I met a woman last night who's son is supposed to play for the U next year and I forgot his name.

Heisenberg's list is probably the best source.

His wife doesn't even let him have keys.

That's all Happy's call...he's the resident USCHO tube expert.

Christian Isackson, that was it. For some reason I kept thinking it was Erickson, and that just didn't seem right.
