    I agree with you there. But if there is a team to do it against, its Mankato. They suck just as much as Tech does. No matter what happens this weekend, it will all come falling back to earth after Tech gets blown out by a young and mediocre Badger team at the Kohl Center.

      Well our power play is horrific, as is our penalty kill, so that could be quite likely this weekend.

      I'm cautiously optimistic this team we have is pretty decent. They're young, scrappy, and will only grow and get better every weekend. I could see a sweep either way, hopefully for the purple, but I'm thinking split.

        Probably a dumb question and something I should have researched, but I have a question for Tech fans. What's the deal with Jordan Baker? I see he hasn't played any games this year....? He is on my fantasy team. I didn't realize he wasn't playing
        "It ain't over, baby! And that took only six seconds!"

        USCHO gives me another reason to not do work while I am at work.

        Everything is Hill's fault.....

          He's hurt, should be back in the lineup after the mankato series.

              She's obviously referring to Northeastern or St, Clooud.

                Maybe she expects 6 husky wins this weekend. That would be kind of awesome.

                    Yeah, 6 husky wins, can't happen, Connecticut doesn't play this weekend.

                      Absolutely correct.

                      That's what we hear every year.

                        Though it vastly improved in the second half of last season (about 83% in the final 16 or so games), my faith in our PK was still pretty badly shaken. Three games into the year and sitting at a very modest 80%, I'm not at all sold on it yet. If the penalty box gets crowded, this could be Mankato's weekend to improve their powerplay numbers.

                        Also, I have little doubt that our powerplay will struggle in its first WCHA action this weekend. NMU's penalty kill was horrid, letting our guys get right in front of the net for rebounds, etc. Not that I'm complaining, but I don't expect that to continue.

                          The big thing with the PK is that the other team has only had 10 chances in 3 games so you can't really have anything much better than 80%. I mean 90 or 100 would be nice but in 10 chances, this early in the season its pretty unlikely. There are 24 teams ranked higher than MTU on the PK right now and 8 of them have had more chances. We're all hoping MTU can get the PK into the high 80s but even if they can't, it will also help to keep the number of opportunities to 4 or fewer per game. That will make a big difference. Over the course of last season our opponents had 195 PP chances, vs our 159...that's a huge difference that needs to change as much as the PP & PK percentages.

                            That's all true.
