Ha ha. Hershey Squirts. I haven't heard that term in a while. I said that to my kids and they said that's disgusting. Yep. But also funny.
Go Badgers!

I think this makes sense. Lindmark can step in as Center on the third-line, which may be the plan eventually anyway. I was a bit surprised Pelton-Byce wasn't in the top 6 originally. TPB has also practiced on the power play and it keeps the first and second PP units together other than Byce in for Turcotte probably.

The other thing is, you don't dismantle both of your top lines by moving Holloway. Moving TPB up is the least disruptive.
Guys are going to have to step up. Turcotte has done a ton of little things in addition to driving scoring to make this team go. Big shoes to fill there.
These are games that are probably going to have big PWR ramifications down the line, so the boys need to play well for that, but also to keep some mojo going into one of the biggest series of the year @PSU. When Clarkson plays well, they put a lot of pressure on the puck and force mistakes. If we're not ready to go at the puck drop it could be a long weekend.
Lot of film from last week on exactly how to disrupt our PP entry by jumping a forechecker behind Walt. When that happens it should actually be a good thing for us as it puts one Defender out of the play at the blue line-- provided Walt and the trailers execute the right play and create the mismatch, that is. I assume it was a point of emphasis this week, be interesting to see if there's better execution there.

Agree Wisko.
Duluth did a good job of denying entry into the zone and kept us off balance without zone possession a lot. Byce is the key to the offense this weekend.
There will be a lot of pressure on our D this weekend. I see a split. What about you?

It's college Hockey and anything can happen, especially early in the year, but if I have to pick, I don't think Clarkson should be able to beat the Badgers on the big sheet at the Kohl Center this weekend. On the road I'd take a split, but the Badgers have the kind of skating that should be really tough to beat on big ice this year.
Clarkson has good players and a good team but I don't think they have anyone like Nico Sturm, who gave us fits last time we played. (Sturm left early and signed with the Wild.) Badgers have better and faster skaters all the way up and down the line up, and they have more finishers. Badgers play their game and they should win.
I think that Byce just needs to do what he has been doing, play smart and alert and within himself, and not try to do anything "extra" because he's on the big line. To me the key guy that will drive play and scoring is Linus. (incidentally, you guys notice how much bigger and stronger Linus and Walt look now?)
Walt needs to make better and quicker decisions, probably just simplify the game a little, and the other guy that I think needs to have a good weekend is Special K. He's got All American stuff in him and, assuming he's healthy, I think he needs to elevate his play this weekend on both ends of the ice.
One game at a time. --> Let's Go Red!!!

Hmmm... I seem to autocorrecting to Walt from Wyatt. Perhaps it's a result of all those essays I write on the life and times of one Walt Clyde Frazier in my spare time.
I've been floating Special K as a nickname occasionally for the last year. Obviously it's yet to catch on.

OK on Wyatt. Special K is K'Andre? You don't actually say.

Be interested to see how they play on the D zone tonight. Been alot of talk about the importance of and improving the dzone and how good d zone translates to offensive chances. Goes without saying... if Badgers play good in defensive zone this weekend they should sweep.

Winning on the ice, losing on the scoreboard. Gotta get some of the many grade A chances in the net.
Man -- that Holloway kid can really skate and make things happen fast.

Lotta frustration in that locker room at this point I would imagine. We'll see how they respond after that awful period.
The Hammer has kept them in the game.
Gotta get the cover off the net. 2-3 open looks in that pile up in front of the net, still couldn't get it in.
