Bob Motzko was 16-17-3 against Don Lucia for what it's worth.

I hope the players still left from this team 2 years ago that blew it against Ferris State remember what happened because this matchup against Air Force is eerily similar. Schudlt missed a hip check right after the center ice faceoff in OT and the entire play broke down after that, resulting in basically a wide open net rebound goal. Experience is a great motivator. Don't take anyone for granted, especially as a 1 vs 16. Mankato fans will tell you the same after their debacle against RIT.

Getting up early will be huge. AF is 13-0-1 when leading after 2 but 0-9-1 when trailing after two. SCSU is 16-1-1 when leading after 2.
We can't be down 0-2 after one like we were against Miami twice...

They remember it. They have talked about it multiple times. Judd Peterson specifically. If they lose it won't be because they underestimated Air Force.

Wish like hell I could be there but should be a great weekend of hockey. Hoping to see Benson and Winiecki both in the lineup for TWO games this weekend. Ferris State is weighing heavily on the mind and hope we don't see anything like that again. Am a little nervous about Jaycox and Hrenak but both have played big minutes this season and Hrenak at the World Juniors. Should be a great regional and am hoping the boys will be in St Paul in a couple of weeks! GO HUSKIES WOOOOOOOOOOO

Lately it seems like its been Winiecki or Benson has been the healthy scratch which says a lot about the depth this lineup has because they are both pretty good players. Newell was out for a few weeks there too with an injury so he was the odd man out but he was placed back on the line with Eyssimont/Lizotte and they looked really good last weekend. Just my opinion but I think Benson is a better offensive threat than Winiecki and should be in there.

If we didn't have to play them this weekend, I'd be pulling for Air Force. From a Pioneer Press article quoting Serratore:
“There are three things I’ve never seen in my life,” the Coleraine, Minn., native said. “I’ve never seen Bigfoot, I’ve never seen the Easter bunny, and I’ve never seen a referee say he had a crap game. I have seen Santa Claus, actually met him in a bar in San Francisco, me and my brother Tony. Good dude, Santa. Likes his pops.”
“I’m not into conspiracy theories, but what’s with this Minnesota bracket of death?” Serratore joked. “It’s pretty obvious to me. They put the three Minnesota teams in with Air Force (and with) the Frozen Four in St. Paul, it’s pretty obvious to me that they are doing everything in their power to make sure a Minnesota team doesn’t make it (to St. Paul).”
Go Huskies. I'm calling a 3-1 win and we'll see Mankato Saturday night.

1St goal was high IMO...not that it matters now.
Tired of this.

True but if I had to guess (not gonna pretend i watch them a ton) the main thing holding Air Force back is their goaltending. And so far he’s been good today.
Air Force is a team that puts up a lot of shots and plays aggressively. It’s the perfect recipe for success as long as your goalie is competent. I don’t think Air Force is as much of an underdog as most people probably do. And yes SCSU hasn’t been great on the chances they’ve gotten.

Re: 2017-18 St. Cloud State Season Thread - Second Attempt
Our guys have been really sloppy with the puck. Awful lazy passes. Turned it around the last 5-10 minutes of each period, but gotta give credit to Air Force. Their guys have been all over the ice. Blocking tons of shots. It looks like our guys are playing with a little more control now. I think we should be able to come back and tie it, but spotting them two goals with garbage play in our own zone might end up costing us our best chance at a title

I seem to recall AF knocking off the Gophers back in the mid 2000's.

Without Hrenak making some great saves Air Force would have had 6 or 7 goals
