    Lol, the Tech YouTube channel isn't monetized. Who gives a **** how many views it has there vs on the WCHA channel? I mean, god forbid Tech wants more people to have access to their product. You do realize that the more people who watch, regardless of the platform, the more people ultimately care about your school, right? So keeping your highlights off the conference channel isn't brilliant, like you seem to think it is. Its quite shortsighted and dumb. Shocking for a supposedly "smart" school

        No video in the last month on the WCHA channel has over 300 views.

                Huge win tonight! Again they made it interesting though.

                Next week at Cornell is going to be huge.

                  Indeed it is. 2 wins at Cornell would be amazing.

                    It won't happen. Cornell is very big and have speed. Plus excellent goaltending. Frankly, I'd be happy with one tie.

                          If anyone would care to provide a scouting report for NMU, here is one for Cornell.

                          Built from the net out like all Schafer teams. All 5 players are always responsible and commit to defense in all zones. Lots of shot blocking and taking away your lanes, forcing the play back to the periphery. We do not chase aggressively so you can shoot from downtown all day.

                          Unlike recent years we have an excellent transitional game this year -- this is the big improvement over the '19 team that was one game short of the Frozen Four and why we're hoping for a lot more. We can turn the play around like lightning. It disorients our fans who are used to a "return to HQ for orders" style from prior years. If the '03 FF team was Douglas Haig, this team is George Patton. We're cav now -- everything is dynamics.

                          We roll four lines, three of which are dangerous -- the Bauld line is an intercept line to neutralize the best opposing line. As with the last several years we are very good at shutting down the top line but the second line can sometimes squeak through. All 12 forwards play solid defense. A few of them (Barron, Locke, Donaldson) are legitimately dangerous forwards. Successful opponents have played us balanced -- getting obsessed with Barron equals death because Schafer's matches and the other guys' adjustments will gradually box you in to bad matchups. We are like playing a balanced pro set offense -- changing the DB matchups on the fly is critical.

                          The D has several very strong offensive players (Kaldis, Malinski, Mitchell) to go with The System (TM). They are deep; they don't make too many mistakes. Galajda in net is excellent.

                          The pp is strong. The penalty kill is terrible, so the key to staying with us is obvious. Stay outta the box and put us there. There's no apparent reason why the kill is so bad (the Principle of Sufficient Reason is woo) so I'm going with SSS and hoping we'll turn it around on, say, you.

                          Strengths: defense, goaltending, transition, adaptability, situational decision making
                          Weaknesses: penalty kill, lack of an A+ scoring terror, can be stung by relentless forechecking

                          If any of you are coming to Ithaca I hope you enjoy Lynah. It's my favorite barn. Others (Gutterson, Appleton, Matthews) are more beautiful, but our place has an atmosphere which can completely change a game. Have fun. I wish I could tell you where to eat in town but all the good places have closed.

                              A few simple points about NMU:

                              - Loughran is tied for 1st in the country for goals scored w/ 17. He's a player who never gives up and will take any and all opportunities presented to him. Vincent DeMay has 12 goals himself, so its not just a single player who can light the lamp.

                              - This team as a whole is very blue collar. They will punch the time clock and not punch out until the final buzzer has sounded. They've shown that they can play from behind, so don't get complacent.

                              - NMU is "young and dumb" at times. You can frustrate us and get us to take stupid penalties. It's usually the reason we're in the holes that we've climbed out of this year.

                              - Goaltending has been a work in progress, but has been decent as of late.
                              It's never too early to start the Pre-game festivities

                                Thanks. I expect two very good games.
