Problem is the Mavs band is exceptionally crappy... to the point that it's embarassing
.Maverick Hockey Nation Blog said:Disappointment in Duluth
It wasn't an ideal start to conference play for the Mavs, dropping both games to the Bulldogs this weekend. UMD's top guns Justin Fontaine, Mike Connolly and Jack Connolly proved too much to handle, the group provided every goal for Duluth on the weekend. Once again, MSU spent inordinate time in the penalty box, and was punished by UMD's potent powerplay. If the stove is hot, don't touch it! Saturday night, Joe Schiller and Nick Canzanello took two undisciplined penalties and the Mavs got burned. Maybe I foolishly thought that this team would be somehow different, having good team speed we shouldn't be taking stick-infraction penalties, and certainly not hot-headed "dumb" penalties, but like a recurring nightmare I saw the same familiar indiscipline. It's time to clean it up, actually it's long overdue, because too often penalties are directly responsible for our losses, as they were on Saturday.
In the latest chapter of the goalie battle, Kevin Murdock continues to prove his case. I think he's the better goaltender, and I hope to see him this Friday when Bucky comes to town. Austin Lee did face a whopping 48 shots on Saturday, but also let in a few softies, and continues to look slow and/or out of position. At the very least I'd like to see Murdock on Friday, and let him earn the starting privileges for Saturday. I know I'm making this look like a no-brainer, which isn't fair to Lee, but I've talked to multiple people who are clearly seeing things in the same way.
Look for more later in the week as the Mavericks look to get back on track in a big home series vs. Wisconsin
I hate the Olé cheer, but if the fans of other teams hate it more, I can learn to live with it.How about stopping the Ole cheer? I mean, its a European soccer cheer. And there are two things really wrong with that. European. And Soccer. Plus the Montreal Canadians do it, so that makes 3 things wrong with it.
The year has just started and I think we have already set a new record in regards to the number of non-maverick fans posting their distain for our goal celebration, do people think we care that they want us to change it?
(Just had to chime in on the subject)
This thread has been very quiet this year so far. I want to know what people think of the developing goalie situation. I liked Murdoch before the year started and am sticking with it. I think they will continue to share time but Murdoch looks more confident in net.

I'm looking forward to [presumably] seeing them both play this weekend. I hope each has a good game to which I'll be better suited to form an [early] opinion.
I'm hoping Murdock is stellar tonight, and never gives the job back.
He got a four-year extension. That's 09-10, 10-11, 11-12, 12-13. There won't be a new coach before 2013-14, and don't kid yourself, probably not then.I think we are rebuilding for the 2012-13 season when we get a new coach!!
so much for this, hopefully we can chalk it up to "rookie(s)" hopefully tomorrow will be better, I will be at that game!

Unless the fans are willing to chip in to buy out his contract, it's not gonna happen (and probably not then.) They aren't going to eat a single dollar of his contract in good economic times; there's no way they'd do it when they are getting ready to start laying off professors and staff.I think the hockey fans in Mankato need to do everything they can to get rid of this POS.
