    Thanks. Seems it's looking like one of those years where hockey is about the only thing about which we can be exited. Intrigued at any rate.

      Thanks...crazy thing is that with 6 games to go either of our teams could finish anywhere from 1st to 6th. Only preseason over hyped Wisconsin is out of the running.

        Several weeks ago during our first game at Munn, I thought this was easily the worst Minnesota team I’ve ever seen. I’m not sure how you guys feel about it now but it’s been quite a turnaround.

          I've been quite pleased with the improvement. Many are pointing to the second game of that series as a key point thus far in the season.

            White out for Friday.

            Hopefully the early start doesn’t affect attendance too much. It’s a sellout, but 6 o’clock starts always have some late arrivals.

              It is now a literal sellout. Not even SRO available.

                I will be out of town and I’m still really nervous for this game. It feels like the biggest we’ve played in years. I now realize how comfy it is when your team never plays for anything big and you accept that.

                  It looks like Stachowiak left the team to go back to Germany and the DEL, so I guess he saw the writing on the wall.

                    Well, that was unfortunate. Gotta show up in Detroit or Big Ten hopes are probably gone.

                      Hey guys, I am a UM fan, was there taking my nephew (current MSU student), UM had a huge block of student tickets on the same end zone as the MSU students. And they took over the arena for most of the night (granted, the game dictated that). My question is this, is it normal to give UM a big block of tickets for the UM students (I know both teams do that in hoops, but both venues stick them up way high that it is hard to hear them), I was at the one UM-MSU game at Munn last year, and there was nothing close to that block of students. I go to most of the games at Yost, and I cannot recall any game where MSU students got a huge block of seats like that, and also when they took over the arena,

                        Generally there aren’t any visiting students, so last night was a new one.

                        A few years ago, OSU brought a student section, but it was only about 20-30 people. For UM, there’s usually a row or two here and there where students bought some as a group, but nothing like getting entire blocks like last night.

                        As for MSU showing up to Yost, I’d be surprised if that happens. The student section cratered in support in the latter Anastos years and is just barely starting to recover. Maybe the success this year can help change that, but it’s been quite a few seasons since there was a coordinated group at the GLI or Detroit game, let alone a road game.

Remember that 2 of the graduating dmen don't ever play, so we're not losing as many impact players as it seems. That having been said, they do need at least one more D so I'm thinking they sign Powell Connor who's doing pretty well in the BCHL.
                          Tanner Latsch a Wisconsin decommit lists MSU on his Facebook page....4th line National Development team forward. Looks like he might be heading to East Lansing.

                            It must be a very recent development because he's uncommitted on last week's 5 Nations line-chart:

                            Even as a January '02 birth year it looks like he needs another year of seasoning in the USHL before he'd make any impact for us and, as you know, we need impact Fs for 2020-21.

                              I agree I’ve seen no commitment, however, he does list MSU as his college. While only 18, I can see Cole bringing him in this year much like he did Nodler who was also 18. With Stachowiak gone and 3 more forwards graduating we need to bring in at least 3 forwards.

                              I’m not saying he will be here, but wouldn’t be surprised if he signs in April.

                                I'm not saying you're wrong and I won't be surprised if Latsch signs either, particularly since he's in our own backyard. And as you say, we desperately need to fill vacant F spots and Cole doesn't have too many options at this point. I'm just saying that Latsch's stats as compared to Nodler's last USHL season are underwhelming. If that's because Latsch has been relegated to the 4th line by the NTDP coach through no fault of his own, that will remain to be seen. Obviously the Badgers took a hard pass or vice versa.
