2017-18 Minnesota State Mavericks: Season Thread

Good to see two solid wins. I have been waiting for this team to play to their potential and without Michaelis. Hopefully the play continues and they sweep UAH as they should. Go into break 1st in the WCHA at 13-5 is a good start.

Parker was a beast against UAH. He was definitely the best player on the ice over the weekend IMHO. CJ was awesome on the scorecard but....

2 exceptional assists by Tuomie on Saturday. Great vision on the ice. I keep waiting for him and McClure to get some goals. The effort and the shooting ability are there. I think they're due for a breakout second half.

Merry Christmas to all!

Have y'all heard anything about Gerards' health after the unconscionable hit from Saulnier?

I haven't heard an update. Coach Hastings used the word "concussion" in the postgame press conference, although that's obviously not a medical diagnosis. Gerads wasn't really lifting his head on the way off the ice. Hoping for the best for him.
 
Re: 2017-18 Minnesota State Mavericks: Season Thread

Bold prediction: We'll have our first nail-biter of the season this weekend. Weirdly, through 18 games, we haven't yet had a game decided by one goal.

Just hope we're on the right side of the score! Should be a fun weekend.

Shane's blog today said he's for sure out this weekend. No update for how long though.
 
Re: 2017-18 Minnesota State Mavericks: Season Thread

I am looking for a different team tonight. Played a good first 5 minutes last night. Transition passes out of the zone seemed slow and easy to intercept. Uncharacteristic odd man rushes obviously killed us. We pretty much served up two goals on a silver platter. NMU capitalized on the opportunities and took 3 valuable points. Bundle up tonight on the way to the game tonight! GO MAVS!

Well, mostly different game. Certainly tightened up on the odd man rushes, and 1st line was great. Now off to Alaska, and hopefully improve on recent results there.
 
Re: 2017-18 Minnesota State Mavericks: Season Thread

The passing wasn't as bad the second night as the first, but still off. Friday night, they were either passing to a spot where there was no one, or where the only player was NMU.
 
Re: 2017-18 Minnesota State Mavericks: Season Thread

Nice win at St. Cloud last night. The Mavs worked hard and were rewarded for their efforts. Duluth won't be an easy game either.
 
Re: 2017-18 Minnesota State Mavericks: Season Thread

Looking at going tomorrow night, weather permitting. For getting tickets, which I can't imagine will be a problem since 1) it's UMD and 2) it's a Tuesday, is there a certain area where the visiting fans are usually congregated?

Thank you!

It's typically sections 100,200,300.
 
Re: 2017-18 Minnesota State Mavericks: Season Thread

Generally, 100-102, 200-202, and 300-302.

And I believe the largest MSU crowd ever was UMD to open the 14-15 season. It won't be that full on a Tuesday night, of course, but don't downplay the rivalry and the interest MSU people have in playing Duluth.

Sorry, largest crowd AT THAT TIME. Subsequently eclipsed by a game with Tech at the end of the 14-15 season, and the St. Cloud game to start this season. Still, my point remains!

It's probably best if we have a smaller crowd. We seem to lay eggs every time we have large crowds.:)

Hehe. Maybe I'll wish for a huge crowd then. ;)

Yeah. To be expected. Still UMD doesn't bring the huge number of fans that UMTC and UND bring, so I wouldn't expect a MSU-UMD game to sell out normally, but that's great that you're getting that big of crowds.
