Our 2 weekends so far have been a complete and utter embarrassment.

I'm downright baffled at why our pretty talented-on-paper team, with a good mix of classes and prior college hockey track record, and size/skating/draft pedigree -- they seem to have already given up on this season.

We had a worse team last year and still kept it close with Duluth in both games.

Our players constantly look like they are afraid of the puck whether it's when they have to hustle and beat another player to the puck or the puck is coming at them...  It's baffling.

At this point I think Mooney can basically sit for the third. This game is already over and you need to send a message. Especially with him wearing an A. We were already on the back foot but he just sunk us. 

100% Again, could have been called a 2, but it wasn’t. You Can’t do that right after your goalie stops 🐶 2nd breakaway attempt early in the 2nd period

Not that it matters tonight, but I'm confused why Larson started both PP's with the "2nd" unit...

Team has never started 0-3 from what I can find.  Worst start has been 0-3-1 with a tie preventing the 0-3 start.  I guess we’ll see what tomorrow brings, but this is looking to be our worst start in program history.  No where to go but up.

This team is awful. How long does the administration give Larson. Not sure I can do 2 years of this.

2015-16 team started 0-3 and had one goal in those three games. Ended up being a 20 win team, missed the tourney tho

I guess that’s the part where we get to find out if he can coach at this level/type of institution then because he should if he’s going to hold this job down

Really hope we don't run into the Stillwater HS boys' team in sections.

Though, as of right now we'd likely struggle in Section 1AA even

But there was a TV timeout after the 2nd penalty...

My god this team looks terrible.  

I'm not exactly optimistic about this team right now but if they don't give up a shit goal to start the game and meltdown during a 5 min penalty (that prob should've been 2) this is a normal game that either team could win. They need to respond tomorrow though, if not then yeah this team is completely cooked and the Larson era is off to a spectacular start lmao.

True. They almost are there, they just need to improve on offense, on defense, on the power play, on the penalty kill, on odd man rushes, on the breakout, on the face off, on penalties, and on coaching. But then I pity the team that has to play us

we were supposed to improve from last year's atrocious PK. Meanwhile our PP has regressed by a lot so now we just have nothing in terms of special teams

Well thankfully the hockey is only half of the reason we road trip.  The friends we hang with and the good times we have in various places is really what makes it worthwhile.  

In the words of someone the older crowd here will remember…win or lose, we booze.  😉

if the team was even more devoid of talent last year but managed to beat every frozen four team, maybe we should've been giving bob kudos for such a good coaching job

Same on both accounts. The last 20-21 months have been borderline impressive at how bad this program has become. Still plenty of season to go but the implosion since about January or February of 2025 is honestly quite something to behold.

They’ve started 0-6 before.
