Subscribed because I'm tired of thinking about Dartmouth and Harvard.

ILDN doesn't have a link for the CU audio.  I thought they usually did?

Thank you.

Yeah, at some point this season, they stopped posting audio links, regardless if there's a video feed or not. I know they had audio only links posted for the Colgate away game. When I sent a complaint during the Union game, I got the following helpful response:

For now, if I want audio, WHCU's feeds have usually been carrying the games live. But the fact that I'm paying for ILDN and not receiving promised service is a significant issue in my book.

Kinda goofy, kinda cool.  Love the graphic here (no, I didn't photoshop this in- it's the actual screengrab)  ::cheer::

holy shit the spazzy inability to clear on that last powerplay was embarrassing

[upprdeck]

we did that so many times.. simple plays and we dont even hit the puck.. all game that killed us. our stick play is so bad.

[MattShaf]

Another loss. 0-4-1 in the last five is rather pathetic. This team has regressed back to mediocrity at this point.

[upprdeck]

sad part is we are playing poorly but could easily have won 4 of those games and found a way to win none. at worst we should be 1-2-2.

[TimV]

I think we're averaging 1.2 GPG in our last 6 games.  That's embarrassing too.:-(

[ugarte]

they aren't that good at hockey is my takeaway. like, they can get in the way of other people and make it harder for those people to play hockey, which is an important part of the game, but then when they actually have to play hockey, they don't do it very well.

[upprdeck]

we have so little team speed the other stuff becomes hard, we dont stress anyones D because we cant skate by anyone.. but the clears we butcher are 5yr old plays

As long as Hilbrich and Buckles continue to be baffled about how to put the puck in the net, other teams are going to treat us as a one-line team. Right now, we are.

Indeed, I think the Hilbrich-Weidner-[whoever] line (effectively, the Hilbrich/Weidner pairing) is so cold that other teams are sending their defensively-suspect scoring lines out against them. Given that Weidner can't seem to be strong with the puck and keeps taking stupid penalties, that looks to be a great strategy. And I remain baffled about Hilbrich——just doesn't look like the same player. I'd like to see what might shake out from Hilbrich-Yates-Freschi. Perhaps the Hilbrich-Weidner pairing is just "over."

Frankly, the season rests squarely on Hilbrich's (ample) shoulders. If he starts scoring, we'll go far; if not, we're screwed. Our top line can only do so much.

Gosh, if only there was a person who's job it was to figure all this out and make the pieces work. It would also help if there was a person who's job it was to find the right pieces.

If only.
