Yeah. Once again the cats get out goaltended. Give this team average goaltending around .915 save % (not .850 save %) and they are top 4 HE and high 3 seed NCAA. With current goaltending will be 7th place HE and bubble NCAA team
Feel like the Cats gave away a point last night. The hooking on Shaw was a ticky tack penalty, something that shouldn't have been called with 2 minutes left, and was a gift for ND! On the other hand, what was Shaw doing? Hooking in the corner? That guy wasn't going anywhere and the Cats could have easily recovered later in the play. Stupid! Hope they come out strong tonight and have something to show for their good play. Go Cats.
CatClass08;6436649Let's face it this program is never going to need a 5000+ rink. That's not a knock on the program. [/QUOTE said:You obviously were not around during the Perrin and St Louis era when they had people sleeping out overnight to grab the last 100 tickets for each
game and they also had many people watching the game in Patrick on a big screen because they could have sold 6000-7000 a game easy. True that
was not the norm but if this team was a top 20 team consistently I see 5000+ a game common as we can fill 4000 without the students which very few
teams in this league can say.
You sure the Shaw penalty was in the offensive zone? I remember it being in the defensive zone. It came in the left end of the rink, as seen on TV, which was the goal the Cats were defending in the third period. Either way, dumb, but certainly more excusable in the defensive zone.I don't blame the team on the end of the game as it was caused largly by the play by two players, first Lekkas was beat on a weak shot
because he was caught flopping out of control again and the last goal because Shaw committed the sin of getting a penalty in the off
zone up a goal late. Could the ref have let it go sure but replay showed he did hook him and in that spot in the game there was no need
to hook a player a rink length away from your goal.
Hmmm, I don't even recall what that was. I remember him drawing a penalty in the 1st period, but can't recall what it was. The TV announcers didn't make a big deal of it. Oh well.....

Time to sit 40 and 18 and 5. 18 and 5 have started every period this year and continue to get beat in key situations.
What, specifically, are you referring to?I have never seen a coach so unable to respond. He was totally out-coached and was frozen as if he didn't have any idea what to do. Surely his AD must see that.
Just saw these and agree it looks pretty cool. I'm not an architect or engineer, but it seems they could take that basic structure, put a bit more money into it, and make it suitable for hockey and basketball. No?On a brighter note, the renderings for the new basketball gym look absolutely stunning.
