    Sorry, I wasn't clear enough. I meant it from the perspective of the "universal you" as opposed to a "specific you." My bad on that note. I will certainly stay tuned. Thanks!

        FWIW-I think the turnover by Emily Brown that led to Merrimack's game winner was caused by a bad bounce, the puck bouncing of a crease in the boards.

          Maybe Merrimack has figured out that Minnesota IS NOT a contending team... I guess the glass half full view would be that at least Minnesota didn't give up a goal for the first period.
          At the outset, we could hang with the dude...

            A little bit of a reality check for Merrimack so far today. Must be because of all the internal upset and turnover you mentioned.

              A split in this series with Minnesota...I think they leave Minnesota pretty happy with that.

                As announced in Audio feed of game today Williamson is "taking time away from the game for a non hockey related medical issue". I know this to be true and is in no way a cover up of any kind for anything else. I hope she can recover and this does not lead to permanent retirement. It could.

                  Best wishes to Taylor Williamson.

                    I thought we played well in the second and third periods. I left the arena feeling really good. In some ways the best I've felt about the team since the end of 15-16 season in spite of our scoring (and other) issues.

                      I did catch that on the broadcast. Thanks for your information as well and hopefully we will see her back on the ice at full strength.

                          Yeah, but it's only her second year playing as a Gopher.

                          They were sloppy in the first and were lucky that the period ended scoreless. A different team came back out for the second and the third. They went to the net hard, and got the goals they deserved for it. They were much tighter defensively, too. Merrimack's goals was one of those shots, a laser from the blueline through a screen and into the top corner, where the only thing to do is salute the other guy, because you were never going to stop it. It'll be interesting to see whether Peters gets a start next week.

                          The one real nitpick I have from the second half of the game is that the freshman defensemen need to learn not to take shots that are so easily blocked by a high forward.

                            We've had senior D who got a lower percentage of shots through. I had a bigger problem with the players, F and D alike, who kept trying to stickhandle through two defenders in the high slot. Pass it, shoot it, or put it in the corner and fewer bad things will happen.

                              I noticed significantly less of that in the second and third, and I'm trying to pretend that those are the only two periods that happened.

                                Gulstene is the best incoming goalie in the WCHA. When she takes over they will be a tough team to beat.
