Re: SCSU 2009-2010 Season Thread

Forwards

Jared Festler-Garrett Roe-David Eddy
Ben Hanowski-Drew LeBlanc-Ryan Lasch
Travis Novak-Jordy Christian-Jon Ammerman
Tony Mosey-Aaron Marvin-Nick Oslund

Defense

Chris Hepp-Garrett Raboin
Craig Gaudet-Brett Barta
Oliver Lauridsen-Taylor Johnson

Goalies

Dan Dunn
Mike Lee


* Motzko said it's a good possibility Lee will start Saturday. Lee, who helped Team USA win gold at the World Junior Championship on Tuesday, returned with his teammates to Denver but missed a connecting flight to Minnesota -- forcing him to spend Wednesday night in Colorado. He was in transit on Thursday and did not practice with the team.

* Sam Zabkowicz returned from a lower body injury and practiced at full contact Wednesday and Thursday. He is available and could play Saturday.

* Mosey ranks eighth nationally with 11 power-play points.

* Raboin, who finally scored his first goal of the season last Sunday -- after racking up 10 last season, tied Derek Eastman (68 points) for fifth among defensemen on SCSU's all-time scoring list.

* SCSU is 10-0-1 when leading after two periods and 9-1-3 when scoring on the power play. Sunday's 5-3 victory over Brown was St. Cloud State's first win of the season when allowing an opponent to score at least three goals.

* Festler leads SCSU in plus-minus (plus-4). Raboin is at the bottom of the list (minus-13).

* Lasch has a team-best seven goals against MTU. Roe leads in assists (8) and points (11). The current SCSU seniors are 9-1-0 against Michigan Tech -- the only loss coming Oct. 30 in Houghton.

Michigan Tech ranks last nationally in scoring defense (4.47 goals per game) and penalty kill (62.7 percent). Those PK numbers are so bad I can't find anything worse among all the statistics verifiable on the Internet. Granted, MTU has the second half to improve, but the worst penalty-killing team in the last decade was American International which killed 70.2 percent of its penalties in 2001-02.

Michigan Tech also doesn't have a goalie in the top 60 nationally in goals-against average or save percentage.

First off, lets get something straight.

Dunn < Chevy
Dunn > Eidsness, Eidsness just gets his numbers inflated because UND's a great team, and after a while teams decide to dump bad shots on net because maybe they'll catch a bounce.
Dunn > Howe right now. Next year, the freshman will probably switch that, but for now, I'll take Dunn
Dunn > Gudmanson, if you don't see that, then the rest of this may be pointless
Dunn = Bennett at worst. And with the UW goalies, I'm not just talking straight numbers, but how good of goalies they are, which I thought was what we're talking about.

And seriously FTLT, going 1-2-1 in 4 games is way too small of a sample size.



Amen brotha! I'm really afraid Rioux may say "Screw this!" and move on after this year, if not earlier depending on how well he gets along with the coaches and team.

So do you think Dunn is the 2nd best goalie in the league then?
And yes 1-2-1 is a small sample size, all I'm saying is I, me, I don't trust him to get it done until he shows he can be a consistent starter for multiple games in a row, that's all.
And why are you afraid Rioux'll say screw it?
Do we really need Rioux if he hasn't played all year?
It's not like he's going to transfer anywhere at this point and I highly doubt any pro team signs him if he can't even get a game here, so if he leaves is it really that big a deal?

All I am saying is how do we know Dunn can't get it done unless we give him a chance? He has played well doing one game a weekend this whole year. Lee has not done enough to prove he has earned one game a weekend. Play Dunn and if he can't handle it then split time.

Ok I am done talking about this. Motzko is going to do what he wants any way and it is obvious he will eventually hand the job to Lee. It is to bad though because as of right now Dunn is the better goalie.

I'd say Dunn is 2nd or 3rd. Now, a lot of that has to do with the competition in net this year. Hell, a few years back, he wouldn't have been in the top 5, but this is the weakest the WCHA goalies have been in a while. Not saying that some couldn't grow into dominant goalies, but I thought Hjelle, Robinson, Murdock (got THAT one wrong), Kangas and Bennett all would've been better than they've been this year.
 
Re: SCSU 2009-2010 Season Thread

anyone ordered a game on the B2 network. how is the quality? I want to order it but 7 bucks is kinda steep.
 
Re: SCSU 2009-2010 Season Thread

What a ugly game tonight! Tech is about as dirty of a team as I have seen this year. I thought they were trying to get away from that? Tech needs a goalie big time. The Hsukies got lucky tonight with two soft goals and a ton of power plays. I guess in the end a win is a win....

Two soft goals that they scored on or two soft goals Dunn let in? From your post I would assume Tech let in two softies. From listening on the radio Lyons said a number of times that St. Cloud wasn't doing much of anything on the ice. Didn't seem to be a ton of flow with all the penalties. Since it was their guys taking them I'm fine with it. Either way, a win is a win and gets us two more pts in the conference. Will be interesting to see if Motzko goes to Lee tomorrow or sticks with Dunn.
 
Re: SCSU 2009-2010 Season Thread

It's already been implied by Motzko that Lee will play tomorrow. Reading the descriptions it seems the first goal Dunn gave up was soft. Good thing Tech's PK is good and terrible.
