**UW-Superior Regular Season 2009-2010**

Re: **UW-Superior Regular Season 2009-2010**

Yes, the reffs can give a two minute or even game if they don't like what they are hearing from the team or coach.

really? is 'bench minor - dropping f bombs' in the rule book?
coaches talk to refs all game long, every game. every so often the two don't agree and if the ref doesn't like where the conversation is headed, he may give the coach a bench minor. f bombs, a bombs, hydrogen bombs... doesn't matter.

"handful of jackets" is about right, there are only 3-4 that actually seem to give 2 ****s about playing with some level of pride.

yeah, thanks, i know. my point was that there are no magic words or series of words that warrant a bench minor. you can say 'enjoy that powerade in the locker room' and if the ref doesn't like the way you say it, he can give you the penalty. there are also plenty of times that you can tear the ref up and down with ';abuseive language' and nothing happens. i still don't see 'dropping f bombs' in the rules, thank you.

I hadn't gotten out here much in the last few days because I've been crazy busy. I just wanted to say I didn't think the goalies who played are the reason for Superior's spot in the standings. They weren't great, but they weren't bad. In reading a few posts last week I wondered if they may not come out with their pads on backwards, but they weren't bad on the weekend.

I know they lost the NCHA Player of the Year this offseason, but there is still talent on this team. I just didn't see the passion or fire I'm used to seeing and it was a large majority of the team. I'm used to seeing Stauber going nuts but he didn't do much until the Saturday game was pretty much over and then he got that unnecessary bench minor. A couple of intermissions he simply walked off the ice with his head down shaking it in what seemed like a very defeated look. They didn't really show much fight until the 3rd period of either game and they generated very little on offense. Three of their goals on the weekend were of the funny bounce variety. I can only speculate on the source, but I was really surprised to see them largely going thru the motions.

not much to say around here. winning out seems to be a stretch so i think the jackets must focus on getting the young guys a lot of ice time and really start gearing up for the first round of playoffs. nobody wants to admit it but this is the only chance to salvage a relatively poor season.

senoirs (fletcher, wilson, desmet, clark, bina, rosset, seifert) will luckily have the opportunity to play out their careers in the post-season. it's really up to them to show fans where black and gold stands.
 
Re: **UW-Superior Regular Season 2009-2010**

relativley poor season! I think you may have to go back to the mid 80s to see something like this.

Actually, 2005-06, was the last year UWS had 10 losses. But you have to go back to the 1992-93 season the last time they had double digit losses in the NCHA. Of course, that year they also made into the NCAA's and lost to teams like Bemidji, and very good Point and Falls teams (Point beat Falls to win the Nat'l Championship that year). In short, it has been awhile. And this is the bottom I knew UWS was going to hit eventually, just needed time.
 
Re: **UW-Superior Regular Season 2009-2010**

So the season can be salvaged with a run in the playoffs, perhaps winning the conference championship. That would be quite an accomplishment but very unlikely. But in any event goodluck this weekend next thurs and into the playoffs. Why a game on thursday by the way?

With an odd number of teams, and the 2-game series concept, somebody's gotta play on Thursday to keep the number of games even weekend-to-weekend for every team.

EDIT: Basically, everything stayed pretty much even with the 2-game series first semester. Now they are playing the 1-game rubber match in the opposite location, and so things are less even. So now, Thurrsday games are needed to ensure everybody plays the same number of games each weekend. River Falls is the only one to NOT play a Thursday game.

With the emergence of UWEC I don't see the Jackets winning any more games this year and you can blame it on goaltending all you want but they have to put the puck in the net and I'm not seeing much of that either. Losing Wilson after this season will really kill this team as far as scoring goes. I like that I see some of the younger guys playing hard but I find it hard to be optomistic about the future of this team. We've been watching Stauber squander talent for a long time and I don't see anything to make me think it will suddenly change. I'm betting there will be a lot of yellow and black watching CSS in the playoffs. Maybe they can play thier home playoff games at Wessman. That being said my weekend predictions in Superior are: UWS 4- UWSP3 and UWS 5- SCN 4 in OT. OK maybe I'm still a little optomistic.

Good win. Great 3rd period explosion. They kind of did that in DePere 2 weekends ago, coming out with a burst of energy in the 3rd period.
 
Re: **UW-Superior Regular Season 2009-2010**

Solid win and a tie against a very good team. Take the st puppies on thurs. beat eau claire on sat. Perhaps a playoff run is not so farfetched after all.

man oh man, gettting excited again. it's funny kent detlefson scored both for the pointers on friday, he wanted blood. oh and that goal on saturday was the shining star of this season so far, and who else to score it but justin faryna. #20 is a beast and could be the backbone of this team in the years to come. that kid flies around throwing caution to the wind and he makes it work so well.

and how about that kid in net! he managed to save 45 of the 48 shots seen on the weekend (.9375 save % for those without a calcumalator).

you're right, "not so farfetched after all."

Congrats on your new found enthusiasm. You will not get any flack from me if Soup takes out St. Scholastica in the first round.:D
 
Re: **UW-Superior Regular Season 2009-2010**

You know what sucks? I know, playing 4 of 6 games to SNC and CSS in their barn, in the same year. Then we have to play both teams at home 5 days apart. Come on, who devises these schedules??????

It's pointless whining, sorry. Cheese anyone?

I hear you! I believe that due to the 7 team league now that Soup will get the better end of the deal next year, meaning 4 home games against CSS and SNC and 2 away games.
