Mel P show takeaways:
Excruciating bus ride watching the BSU/MSU score
Long overdue
Petan - scoring title, team success result in individual success
Knew he had a chance at scoring champ -that's why he was out there at end of game
We're top 10 in the country on the PP
Jake Jackson is one of the guys that is next on the bench - really wanted to get him in a game this weekend, Olympic ice, but after strong Friday, hard to take someone out
Jake knows he's big part of the future going forward, perhaps this weekend if it goes 3 games
Everyone that hasn't been in the lineup is ready to go
Mel hasn't heard from commissioner at all - weird, commish was at Mankato, thought an acknowledgment would've happened by now
Suzanne has been in touch with Mankato - plan is for cup to be on display Friday/Saturday night
It's great - had some players three weeks ago do some homework on the cup - told team we had a chance
It's good for players to know the history of this cup, we are the trustee
To Mel it's great to win first place, but the history make it so unique and special
Plan is for photo ops for fans both Friday and Saturday - hope commissioner okay with that
UAF:
Tyler Morley - is back
They've won a few games in a row, we'll have our hands full
Questions for Mel:
As home coach, with last change. Will you do much match against UAF/Morley.
They've got good players, Mel's not a big matcher.
All our lines are playing well and can play well defensively.
Does dark jersey at home continue in playoffs?
No idea - they said whole second half so think so.
Our guys are on a mission, they want to get back to the big dance. This is another step.
PK will help us, we need to make a few adjustments. PP needs to be better against UAF. Faceoffs too.
If you like what's been going on and where this program is going , send an email to Mroz and Suzanne Sanregret, they've done a great job of providing Mel and his staff with tools to get where we are. They deserve credit.
They are two key people that make this program what it is.
We've had ongoing discussions with Notre Dame, we want to play them, they want to play us, need to find date and where to play
Want to play good teams that push you to your limit and play the right way
Tickets are available - more than usual with students out of town
Encourage fans to cheer on this team one last time
