Why do you think the crowds have gotten smaller? This tournament use to be a bigger draw years ago. Not so much anymore. Any idea from your prospective?

Well weekdays don't help anything but look at the rest of the tournaments, it's still one of the best attended.
The other tournaments today were <4,000.

Assuming Reinke is unavailable as well as Steman, who takes the open fwd spot?
Gould, Anderson, Pedersen, or Brice?
My guess is Gould gets the call for the chance to play in the championship game.
Tech needs Lucchini, Heinonen, L'Esperance, and Jackson to assert themselves and put up points tonight.
Would like to see Smith, Gillies, Gerrie, and Beretta get more chances.

Should be an up tempo game tonight need our big guns to fire tonight.

I assume Steman isn't ready yet? He hasn't played since at Michigan State.

Anyone know what happen to Reinke? I don't rem her hearing his name after the first period and Leibinger was playing D quite a bit today...

Reinke was in concussion protocol after the first period. Not sure of his status. Auk had a cut on the bridge of his nose after getting trucked by Lockwood late, he should be OK.

So if we assume Leibinger drops back to D (can't see Killunen coming in) the question is who's in at forward. After seeing Gavin Gould left out at BG with the thinking that it would be too physical against the Falcons, I can't imagine he'd be in against WMU. Steman might be a week away, don't know if they'll rush him back. Maybe it's Anderson who gets the call.

Wil be interesting, Coach has been praising all 3 of the reserves, Anderson, Pedersen, and Brice.
My guess is Gould for some scoring punch and prior experience this season.

A little rusty. A little undisciplined. Need to stay out of the box today and do a better job finishing their chances. In the WMU - MSU game all the goals were PP. When even
-up MSU played with them and even controlled play at times. The Huskies can win this thing if they come out and play their game.

Looks like it will be Gould in the lineup tonight.

Did we seriously have a 5-3 for 1:57 and not get even a single shot on goal?

That was awful. Slow, lackadaisical passing and no movement at all requiring Western to rotate and open up shooting lanes. Coming off a timeout that's pathetic.

Watched the last 6 minutes of the third, we look really flat, just no spring in our step, no drive. I'm afraid of what this overtime will bring.

Our powerplay is absolutely pathetic, an absolute joke.

Absolutely awful. Can't win an offensive zone face off to save their lives, lazy entries, no urgency.

I don't know that I've seen a worse powerplay in college hockey this year than we've shown tonight.

We didn't deserve it, we looked like shit and got what we deserved.
