Nice, solid victory tonight. I'm still not quite sure where this team will end up, but I do believe the program has turned the corner after the last couple seasons.

I think they have too. I was a little disappointed that they slacked off the last five minutes and cost Scheel the shutout, but all in all, a solid win.

Team is holding opponents to the fewest shots on net in the nation and only gave up 15 to Michigan Tech last night winning 3-1. One thing that still stinks is the powerplay. Way to predictable

So far the PP is worse than last year but I think it will improve - hopefully real soon. Getting the puck in the zone with possession has to be better than dump and chase. Doesn't it?

It's possible to be too defensive on PPs, and I think that may be some of it. They seem to be getting in the zone OK, and they can control the puck fairly well. None of their D have shown that ability to move along the blue line and find lanes to shoot the puck through. Again, they may just being careful not to create a blocked shot breakaway. I think the PP will improve just as the team has improved overall.

Last night's game didn't seem like the blowout the score would indicate. I thought the first ten minutes were very even and then the puck started going in the net, with two straight PP goals. SOG were not nearly as lopsided as the final score but unlike last season the shots were coming from prime scoring areas. Last season this would have been a 3-1 game.

Big early series at Denver this coming weekend. Split would be good and a sweep would be great. Obviously getting swept would suck.

4-1 good guys. Played almost the entire third period a man down.

Those 2 major penalties were a complete joke. But they persevered and take 5 of 6 points. This team has me believing

Yeah, the first major was terrible. I didn't really see the second major. The crazy thing is they reviewed both. Fortunately, the penalty kill might be the strongest part of this squad. It had been a long time since we last won a series at Denver, so to take 5 out of 6 points early in the season should give this group plenty of confidence going forward. Here's to them continuing with that momentum and finishing the first half of the season strong.
