St. Cloud State 2013-14 Season Thread: A Tough Act to Follow

Re: St. Cloud State 2013-14 Season Thread: A Tough Act to Follow

Must be sweeps week in the Twin Cities media markets. They found St. Cloud.

Yesterday Kevin Gorg was singing the praises regarding the St. Cloud State men's hockey team on the PA morning radio show, then Dave Schwartz has a live interview with Coach Motzko at the Herb Brooks Center during the 10:30 PM newscast.

You are aware they are just being nice to us before they kick us to the curb after the hockey season is over. :eek:

Of course. You're absolutely right. Just found another article regarding SCSU men's hockey team on the KSTP webpage while checking local radar regarding the rain.

Maybe attendance concerns at the tournaments and regionals is fueling this sudden interest.

Good luck to St. Cloud against the Gophers tonight. As much as I dislike the Huskies and Gophers, NCHC representing makes St. Cloud the lesser evil between the two. :D

Disappointing end to a good season. Back-to-back conference championships. Back-to-back years with NCAA wins. Consistency means a lot and it seems like they are heading in a good, consistent direction. Realize that won't mean a lot to others but should mean something to followers of the program and future recruits.

Dowd and others are going to be missed but there is a lot of talent coming back. Going to be interesting to see what happens in goal. Likely Farragher is the guy but seems like Lindgren could push him. Concerned about what we have left on defense. Need to get better there. Anyone have a decent view of those that will be coming in next year?

Congrats to the Huskies on a great season. I miss the WCHA after one season and it's only going to get worse. :(

Was just picking up my mother in law at the Manchester (NH) airport. I saw an SCSU hockey bag and started talking to the player asking if he played for the school. It turns out it was Nic Dowd, and as I put the information together realized he was likely in town because the Manchester Monarchs are the AHL Affiliate of the LA Kings. He was incredibly nice and represented your school well. The experience even caused me to take back some of the bad things I likely said about him when the team came to Durham to play UNH last year. Best of luck to him in the future and I'm sure he'll be missed at SCSU.

Very cool! Did you remember to congratulate him on his Hobey Hattrick nomination? I'm gonna guess: probably not.

Unfortunately you are correct. I had my 3 1/2 year old with me and he was running all over the baggage claim area so I never had more than a few moments to interact with him. The worst part is that as soon as I saw his name something triggered and I started searching on my phone for Hobey stuff but again my child ran and I couldn't get the info quick enough. Bad form by me for not realizing sooner. I was able to congratulate him on a great career and wish him luck with the Kings, but I was kicking myself when I got back to the car and the Hat Trick article loaded.

Has anyone else noticed that sweet hat Dowd has been wearing with the old-school hockey-playing husky on it? That's awesome.

Any of you guys planning to make the trip to Schenectady this October? I believe this was discussed a few years back...
 
Re: St. Cloud State 2013-14 Season Thread: A Tough Act to Follow

Quinnipiac will be playing 2 at St. Cloud State in 2014-15 with the Huskies making a return trip to Hamden in 2015-16.
