One thing ill never understand with Fersch is that he doesn’t line match. Some teams you can roll 4 lines and not think twice, this is not one of those times.

4th line got absolutely burned by Reschny

WTF are you talking about? They have 14 draft picks including 4 1st rounders.

You’re joking, right? They’re in the top 5 in the whole country in terms of individual talent. Their problem has been execution.

Well… just not our weekend I guess. Incredibly lucky to get 2 points last night.

This weekend has been a major disappointment.

Didn’t think we would come out and repeat last night and instead were losing 3-0.

Philly just says stuff. It's kind of comical at this point.

I would expect some adjustments tonight and more scoring. We are deeper on offense and better in goal than they are. 5-2 Broncos tonight.

PP was a struggle last night. I believe we had no shots on net in the first 4 PPs but finally got a PPG late. 1 for 6 was worth 2 points...... 0 for 6 would have given NoDak 3 points.

NoDak doesn't visit Lawson this year so maybe we can finish high enough to gift them a farewell visit in the NCHC playoffs:)

Go Broncos!

Less than ideal weekend, but at least they salvaged 2 points Friday. Who knows how important they will be in March.

That's my thought too. But then MSU got outplayed by UNH, so who knows...

Really stupid & immature move by Benak and the end of that game on the empty netter. Out for Friday now and possibly more depending on the what the league says.

I hope it wasn't actually on purpose and he lost control of his stick. Either way, reckless. Wouldn't blame the conference if he's suspended.

Yeah, you can't do that. I hope he learns from it but I expect a decent penalty coming from the NCHC.
