  • Minnesota State, Mankato, Season Thread

    Well, it's less than a week until the Mavs open play with an exhibition game against the University of British Columbia. Season tickets have arrived. I figure it's time to start a thread, even if (like usual) I'm not optimistic. Goaltending remains a question, and a bigger one is who (besides Galiardi) will provide scoring?

    But it's hockey, and I'm ready. Drop the puck!

      I was actually really impressed with Cook last year. I think he will surprise a lot of people. Not to mention he has the best goalie mask I have seen yet.

        Good luck to you guys this year. Everybody's down on you, so make 'em pay by overlooking you and steal some wins from the big boys!

          Not sure when BC visits Mankato but they visit Omaha saturday night. Should be good for comparison. By the time they get this far south their legs will be flimsy.

              No, I think he means British Columbia. They're in Mankato on Monday 10/4.

              Hmm. They've already played a couple of games in Canada, and they'll be in Omaha before they get to Mankato, while the Mavs will be playing their first game. It will be hard to tell much from that.

                    Just got back from the game, which was won by a short handed goal (2 men short) by Eli Zuck.

                    I also was at the game that I believe was the last time the Mavericks (at that time Indians) scored a short handed goal 2 men short. It happened about 30 years ago at the All Seasons Arena against St Scholastica in a game that they won 7 or 8 to nothing.

                      Zach Harrison did it 2 years ago against Bemidji State. It was the third of his three short-handed goals that game after BSU pulled their goalie.

                        Well lets see.
                        UNO vs UBC 6-1
                        Gophers vs UBC 6-0 in think and
                        Mankato vs UBC 1-0.

                        Mankato getting the 3rd game from UBC in 3 days when they're the most tired and only scoring 1 goal. That tells me something but I'm sure a few practices with change all that.

                          Cook did look good last night as well, he should be able to keep us in some games early on as some young guys (hopefully) develop some scoring touch.

                          Only fools compare scores. Six Mavs sat out to give experience and "audition" time to younger players, no time to get all hot and bothered.

                          My early opinion? This is going to be a hardworking group of guys with a lot of young talent. It hurts losing Leitner for the year, but the freshmen class should be pretty good this year, so hopefully they can put together a pretty good season. This team is led by seniors that have been a goal away from the Final Five in two straight years, don't think they won't understand the importance of every single game. Should be a fun season for the Mavs, I'm really looking forward to it!

                            I just noticed we start out with a serious road schedule and finish with a nice stretch at home! Hopefully they provide some points early and close strong.

                              That's usually the struggle the Mavs have. If they can get their fair share of points early, a young, talented group of guys will be able to get it together and hopefully put together some kind of a run down the stretch.

                              Looking forward to tonight's game, hopefully we play a little bit better!
