Im going to predict that we lose close the first night, maybe 3-2 then we get blown out on saturday 5-2 or so.

Taking the first game would be huge, if we lose the first one I can kinda see this team just throwing in the towel.

Teams don't throw in the towel. If anything, losses give team an extra hunger.

I think we win at least one. Lot of 'the sky is falling on Bronco hockey' people on these boards, so I'm expecting the team proves all you guys wrong with at least a win on Friday or Saturday.

I just wish there was a way to watch without paying $16.

WMU 0 @ UMD 1 15:05 remaining in the 1st Period.

Why can we not stay out of the box? I don't get it

Can't really blame it all on the goaltending when we're defending a power play every minute, and some point that has to fall on the coach

We just don't look at all comfortable on the ice so far.. missing passes... just no momentum. Here's hoping we can get our **** together...

2 goals on 5 shots... thats goaltending early.

Our goalie has not looked comfortable at all... The second goal he gave up was because he couldn't coral the first TWO shots and ended up losing a rebound... he was in position but played it poorly. Hes a freaking freshman... hes going to be fine... but to expect him to win you a game at this point is ridiculous... but its still a liability.

We cant get anything going... this looks like a late term Culhane team.

2-0 end of first period UMD... 7-6 shots on goal UMD. WMU has also had two power plays... so its not the refs getting in the way... its the fact that this team looks absolutely awful.

Looking forward to next years team

I am going to struggle through this one tonight... I refuse to look away until the end... Here's hoping we can generate SOMETHING... Earlier this season we looked individually like we could compete... like man to man we were generating extra shots, extra passes and connecting... We have nothing like that going on tonight...
