Did we play the Bobcats last year?

Yeah. Beat us in Hamden 3-1 and 3-2.

[The Vicar]

Well, they already changed mascots from Braves to Bobcats...

That's good to know because if you hadn't changed the name the prez would not have allowed your team to come in.

President Potter would not have cared. The former president is a different story.......

Former president started the whole Fighting Sioux is hostile and abusive. Even though his ancestors bombed Pearl Harbor.

Saigo had little to do with it. If you didn't notice he did not do much of anything.

First Nation students began organizing to retire the name at UND in 1972. The issue really picked up steam in 1989 when Charlene Teters initiated efforts to retire Chief Illiniwek at University of Illinois. That case brought a lot of national attention to the issue and put it in the spotlight.

Not saying I agree with what's going on at UND. Just a little background info. I can see both sides. If they could have got consent from both Lakota tribes in ND, this would have been a done deal. I can't convince myself I have the right to tell people what they are, or are not offended by.

Back to Hockey.

SCSU has yet to put together a complete game. We have done some real positive things, but still have areas to improve as expected this time of year.

I would like to see some of So./Jr. class step up and contribute this series. Our So. class is quite small so you can decipher who I am referring to in that category. There was a big improvement in the physical play in the MN series and would like to see that to continue to improve. Reward the guys that are working every shift and committing to a aggressive forecheck.

I thought our PP looked quite sharp last weekend. Great puck movement, just need to pull the trigger a little quicker. Leblanc has great positioning, he just needs to get rid of the hesitation before he shoots and lets the lanes tighten up or close. Nice to see him put 7 shots on goal though. So he is doing much better.

I like what I see happening. The Huskies are strong from the goaltender out. Lee and Dunn are a strong tandem and the defense is solid and getting better with the addition of Jensen and Gravel. Barta has been great - a bonus. The missing link is goal scoring. Disregarding the first-year players, #11 and #10 are crucial to the success. #27 will get his share of points and what you see is what you get. #19 does many great things. With all the opportunities he gets, if he was a sniper, he'd be a 50 point scorer. Not sure if that will ever happen but he's trying. He's a human vacuum cleaner along the wall. #12 is a 10 goal a year scorer but he does other things well. You can't count on first-year players, but seeing some scoring out of 26, 28 & 23 would fill the gap. They will score more the second half of the year. Of course getting Eddy back would be a major boost to the offense.

Things could be worse. You could be the Gophers with questions at goaltender, even with a senior back there, weak defensive play and some of the same issues up front the Huskies have.

Yeah. Beat us in Hamden 3-1 and 3-2.

And if memory serves me right, the Quinnipiac season went downhill after that series with St. Cloud last year.

Bobcats may have revenge on their agenda and could be a very dangerous team for SCSU to play (and possibly overlook) this upcoming weekend.

I think it will be two close low-scoring games.

Well, we were already in a slide so those 2 losses didn't help.

I think it will be two close low-scoring games.

I'd be happy with that. This weekend will be a big test for us.

Uh.... come again? I'm not one who only looks at whether we score or not, but honestly, with as much talent as we have, and as brutal as the Gophers have been defensively, I thought our PP was atroch.

On a lighter note, I think I might now get to see the Friday game!

I stand by what I said. They looked sharp on the PP. Especially on Friday. They cycled well and had the goalies moving laterally. They just need to finish. That's why I said I like them to shoot without the hesitation. This will come with confidence. Sunday, Patterson robbed us of a couple goals easy.
