Impressive win.

That said I don't think Minnesota is very good right now.

Yeah It felt like we were in the offensive zone all night. Just really dominated play tonight

They are going to need it.

I've been surprised as Finley has seemed a little nonexistent compared to last year. Hopefully he gets going. 

That's kind of nice that they don't have to have a ton out of him and still be able to win. 

Much better balance in this squad

[yourout]

Much improved Bucky squad from last year.

[stoutdude04]

Good win...tbough, minnesota is bad.

[yourout]

Big road test for Bucky this weekend going to Ann Arbor.

Now up to #10 and Michigan is #2.

Looks like this is a real solid freshman class and much better equipped for the smaller rink size that was implemented last year at the Kohl.

So far this year the home games have been fun with very good showings from the student section and the band.

Hopefully the crowds get bigger as we get further into winter.

Some bad d zone coverage tonight. That 5th goal was just bad.

Good first period. 

I really think the next goal wins the game. 

If we go up three to zip I like our chances but if they score and it's two to one I'm not sure we can hold them off.

Oh my. What a goal by Montgomery

It’s 3-0 Badgers now. I hope you’re right.

[yourout]

Absolutely terrible shorthander to give up. 

Fitzgerald dogged it all the way back

[yourout]

I won't feel good about this one until it's the end of regulation and we still have a lead.

Amazing how much better this team got in just 8 months

[yourout]

Michigan's a bunch of little b******.

[stoutdude04]

It isnt over...but its all but over. This group is good. I think they were the better team last night too. Had a few too many breakdowns, but thats the way it goes.

Michigan being turds.

I feel decent about our chances to make some noise this year with all the new guys being significant upgrades over what we lost

[yourout]

Definitely a lot more fun team to watch. 

Much better skaters and overall skill level.

I had to record and watch Saturdays game later. I was impressed with how Hauser bounced back from some shaky play on Friday. He looked really solid. 

I always forget how duechy Michigan is. They totally lost their cool and gooned it up after the game was out of their grasp 

[stoutdude04]

Cruz Lucius has 8 goals and 4 assists in 10 games for ASU - thats over 25% of the teams goals(29).

Charlie Stramel has 5 goals and 5 helpers in 8 games for number 1 MSU and is centering their top line.

William Whitelaw has 5 and 3 in 10 games for 9th ranked Western Michigan.

Would have been a fun top 6. Though I dont know how much defense they would have played.

Definitely he had some higher end offensive talent leave after that first season..

Hopefully we can hang on to some of these promising freshmen.

[yourout]

Up to number 2 in the pairwise.
