tUMD @ DU: To Be the Best You Must Play the Best... (Oct. 4th and 5th)

There is a website called "IsItOld.com", where you can check whether jokes or cultural references are stale. CCTigger's whole dialogue is listed there. I'm getting bored just talking about it.

Although I wish Murray would have achieved "A" goalie status by now, Olki deserves some starts. Too bad about Bennett's injury. We need him out there.
 
Re: tUMD @ DU: To Be the Best You Must Play the Best... (Oct. 4th and 5th)

This will be an excellent weekend of hockey. Both teams have something to prove and will come in hungry. Like Vizoroo said the offense is in serious flux, no more so than on the PP. This is the PP that preseason was highly praised. Lots of clutching of sticks and individual effort leading to little or no production of late. I suspect that once the lines settle down things will improve. To tell you the truth, I'd be happy with two fundamentally sound efforts at this point. Need to stop taking stupid *** penalties.

Tech did an impressive job of the forecheck last weekend. I'm sure t reining champs will work that as well.

I don't understand why I keep reading that the Bulldogs are "in trouble" or "need to get it together". We lost a game against Notre Dame, who was number 1 at the time, and lost a series against the gophers where we easily could have, and probably should have, won both games. Ahh end rant.

You're right. Your #1 goalie having a save percentage under .900 and a GA over 2.5 is no reason for concern.

Haha, of course, when the gophers start to do well, all their d0uchebag fans have to come out of the woodwork.

Don't worry...the Goofers will get their hopes up...then epically fail as usual. :D

I'm not sure how pointing out why your team should be concerned, when you asked, relates to who I root for.

Am I wrong about your goaltending and to some extent the defense in front of him being a concern?

Yes, you are. If you got rid of your gophercentric mindset for a day or two and paid attention to other teams besides your own, you would know that.

Where are you reading this? And we should have won the Friday game against UMTC. probably not Saturday.
 
Re: tUMD @ DU: To Be the Best You Must Play the Best... (Oct. 4th and 5th)

No matter how either team has done lately...this series is going to be a good one. Both teams need a big weekend.

That being said...this weekend has SPLIT written all over it.

Friday - Duluth 4-3
Saturday - Denver 5-3

So the 73% penalty kill isn't a concern either right?

I am sure Duluth will improve and have a good season. But to say these things aren't concerning is just ignorance on your part.

So far your teams offense is basically masking their defensive troubles. Which in the long term of a full season is probably not sustainable.

But I doubt you actually want to discuss your team. I think you prefer the name calling.

Just read the prediction by the writers on this very website.

Because you know nothing about our team. If you did, I would talk to you about it. But, you don't. So name calling seemed like the only real connection we could have on an internet forum.

Back to talking about stuff that matters, I agree with you here. Split seems like the only logical outcome. The only difference I have is I think Denver is going to come out guns-a-blazin' on Friday, so I have:

Friday-Denver 4-2
Saturday-UMD 5-2

This is definitely the type of insight about your team that an outsider could not provide. Thanks for sharing this deep analysis with the rest of us. ;)

Okay, Reiter has a .930 save percentage and 1.77 GAA against denver. So I don't think goaltending is going to be our problem.

He played just under 5 periods against Denver last year, not exactly a huge sample size to be confident about. He obviously has looked better the past couple of weekends.
