Bordeleau, Beniers, Brisson, Beecher & York: miss you guys.

We sure could use some puck luck tonight. Had some early pressure last night, but hit the post. Scoring first would be nice.

Time: 6:30 PM ET

Let's Go Blue! And stay out of the damn box!

Not super knowledgeable about hockey, but it seems like they get about 80% of the way there on offense all the time. They can control the puck and get in the right spots but are not getting good looks. It feels like Minnesota just plants a guy in front of the net and it’s a fortress. What are they not doing right on that end?

Feel for Mann. Getting absolutely hung out to dry the last two series. Bad penalties, standing and watching, and defensive zone turnovers. Not a lot Mann can do.

Well, barring a miracle we’re not coming back from this one and thatll end the first half of the season at 5-5 with a 1-5 finish. Gonna have to have a good 2nd half or I’m not sure this is a tournament team (if theres a tournament)
