CU-Minnesota Game Thread

obyrne sat there- no one on him..and tried to hold it in...instead of whipping it around

well we all knew O'Byrne could be the biggest liability. No surprise he was out there for both goals today.

Not having seen it, did McKee have much of a chance?

if they didn't score there, you would never have said this about o'byrne.

He made the first save, but not much chance on the rebound. It was point-blank. An eerie carbon copy of the goal against Maine yesterday.

I didn't say "it" this time.

But, I've been saying about O'Byrne for quite a while. Great physical tools; a real liability on the mental side of the game.

Damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes......... I was thinking the SAME thing. You can't leave a guy all alone in front like that for the 1 on 1. (How come that doesn't work in Blackjack????)

McKee was awesome!!! He's got nothing to feel bad about. It really wasn't his fault.

I haven't bashed obyrne at all this year (being out of town) but as it happend live, i said NO NO NO as he went to hold the puck with noone near him..ask my TV I was screaming at it.

Someone else let their man loose though for that guy to get the pass and shot. McKee great 1st save, no chance on rebound.

And FWIW, even the announcers pointed out on the replay that for the first goal, Obyrne lost his man and that's the man that got the pass for the shot.

Just plain facts...I'm not for or against obyrne and i'm sure he wont make those two mistakes again....but thats how it went down today

The problem with O'Byrne is, he probably will make the same mistake again, sorry to say.

I've not followed it closely enough to know. I'd think though that it's got to really sink into your head all summer now.

Just so everybody knows, I'm not dissin' the kid because I think he's a goon on skates, (in fact I don't really mean to diss him at all), I'm sure he, like the rest of the team, is a great guy... I just hope he learns from his mistakes this year and if it takes a long summmer, he'll be all the better player for it.

what Chief AA said

I'll tell you what frosted me totally during the game wiith Minnie, and that was the ridiculous amount of announcer time and camera time devoted to the MINNIE SIEVE's peroxide parents !!!

How come they didn't show McKee's parents!!!! I'm SURE they were THERE!!!!

BADDDDDDDDDDDDDD ANNOUNCERS!!!!

I hope McKee wins the Hobey, but I think not making the FF, may hurt his chances (even though the decision "supposedly" has already been made)

But Briggs's parents had to travel a lot (since their other son was playing in Amherst with BSU). It's not like anyone's following McKee around from Texas or anything.

I thought the other briggs son was on the mercyhurst lakers, and thus they were doing the worcester-minneapolis commute.

i'm pretty sure the graphic they put up indicated worcester. but i wouldn't be surprised if the tv announcers got that wrong.

No I'm sure it was me. I was going from memory and just recalled that it was one of the AQs.
