    As we all should be. The defensive struggles last year put him in a lot of terrible positions trying to make saves that he should have had to. I am hoping that he can bounce back and put together a great year.

      Matt should must improve (.891 won't cut it) as this team gains momentum. We need a top notch goalie as they rebuild and, at least through the end of last year, I personally don't see it. If his nose is to the grindstone and his off season training improved him, good for him and the program because I am pulling for him.
      I would hope with a better team in front of him and one under his belt that his save percentage should go up dramatically. Hopefully leg work and pad work has been strengthen over the summer. I have a feeling these coaches will be pushing their goalies this year. Time will tell who excels.

        I'm sure Howie's presence had a role in bringing in all those elite tenders. .

          Let's be fair to Matt. Last year's team flat out stunk on D. Also, Matt should have been in the NAHL or USHL last year. He was rushed into college hockey and took his lumps playing goalie on a very bad team.

          Is he a top notch goalie, probably a strong no. His he a steady college goalie, this year we will be able to get a better read on it.

          I agree with you, seems like a very good kid and am hoping he becomes the go to guy

                      Just remember if you won't be watching or attending the men's game, head over to Labahn to watch your #1 ranked Wisconsin Badgers whip tOSU.

                              At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."
