Captain Jack rules

SCSU didn't seem to play with a sense of urgency all weekend. There were a few good shifts after the penalty kills but the further penalties ended all that. If they play this way in Grand Forks they'll get smoked next weekend. CC has a good team but like coach said yesterday the lack of effort means he might have to start all over. Motzko would have never put up with all these penalties and lack of discipline especially by the leadership. Quite a disappointing start to defending the conference championship.

I don't know what to make of this team, 3 games under .500 with so far a fairly weak schedule puts them in a tough spot. I will say I'm rooting for Colorado College and think they have a chance to be very good this year but it just wasn't a fun weekend of hockey. Glad they are on real TV so often cause I didn't end up getting NCHC TV this year and at this point probably won't except maybe for the month of March. It's a shame to because all those recruits Bob took with him could have helped here.

“He had a breakout weekend ... We feel like he stepped up his game enough (in the series) to play in our top six (forwards).” @SCSUHUSKIES_MH coach Brett Larson on Fr. F Jami Krannila, who had a goal and 2 assists on SCSU's 4 goals last weekend

Even though it is early in the season, I don't know that any team has come back from an RPI rank of 30+ to get an at-large bid in the tournament. Now the Mariucci Classic has become an important tournament with a scheduled game against #1 MN State-Mankato, but even winning that tourney will likely not be enough even with a respectable NCHC conference record. Will need to win the NCHC tourney - but why not? I expect this team with all the new players will get much better as the season progresses.

Agreed, I think this squad is gonna look totally different by the end of the season when they've matured a bit, adapted to the college game, and gained the critical chemistry

Just play out the first half, and go on a run in the NCHC Playoffs!

I just hope the improvement isn't too little too late in regards to Hrenak's season and Husky career; dude has been fantastic all season but isn't getting any help so his numbers have tanked

I'd hate to see him finish his Junior year with crap numbers that tank his overall stats and then he follows time-honored Husky tradition and waives his Senior year to go pro

I think its a bit much to suggest Hrenak has been fantastic all season; he certainly gets hung out to dry plenty but plenty of the goals have been on him as well. I'm rooting for him of course but am also hoping Lamoureaux gets a bit more run.

Yes, weak schedule so far, with average opponents RPI ranked at #31. Even a split with #5 Fighting Hawks this weekend only moves SCSU up to about #37 in the early PWR.

This is going to be an interesting weekend

Literally no one is even giving us a punchers chance, but if we play like we did at NMU (sans the Majors lol) I think we can get some Points

I trust Hrenak in nets, as he’s proven himself over the last 2+ years as a top collegiate Goalie; the guys have shown the ability to put the puck in the net, just not regularly yet; the D has shown flashes of how good they can be (95% of NMU, game 2 vs NU, game 2 at BSU).
Now we just need to put it all together in the most hostile rink in college hockey lol

Still, gotta have faith and believe that this team will elevate their play against their top (1A/1B with UMD) Rival!
