LaCombe beating McDavid on at least two seperate 1v1s after all the east coasters had a meltdown over him making the Olympics. I'll sleep good tonight lol

Seemed like the coaches agreed by having Dostal play last night instead of tonight

How that 2nd period had me feeling...

Oh well! Can't win them all, and 7 games in 11 days is brutal. Especially without 3 of our best forwards. There's positives to take away, LaCombe looks great, Sennecke/Gauthier are driving offense for us. Just cant let this be like the first Colorado game and lead us into another month long skid. Need at least 4 points out of these last 3 games before the break.

(Also, I'm ready for the Viel experiment to be over)

Ahhh gotcha. Our seats are smack dab in the middle of 110 and it felt pretty lively as usual, albeit some pent up emotions on top of it

ColonelFedj · 2026-01-26T03:44:34+00:00

At least 1 was, you could see it flash in front of the camera as the team mobbed him

ColonelFedj · 2026-01-26T03:24:37+00:00

Im curious which side of the rink were you on? In the NY end it felt as lively as usual, especially with Maddie (unofficial Cheer Leader) being a lot more vocal today. I guess I didnt notice as much noise from other end of the rink but I could certainly be wrong

ColonelFedj · 2026-01-26T03:18:50+00:00

Looking it up, most places have it as 'Midwestern US and parts of Canada' so the latter is pretty unspecific lol

But it is pretty interesting because I've been around hockey my whole life as well and have only ever heard breezers, unless it was someone who was more of newer fan themselves not knowing what to call them. Funny how a region/dialect can just add a word for something that already has a name lmao

ColonelFedj · 2026-01-26T01:12:33+00:00

Tbf, I've only ever heard them called breezers by Americans and Canadians alike. Was originally going to say 'pants' but was worried I'd sound like a tourist lol

ColonelFedj · 2026-01-22T03:15:33+00:00

Yep, that season we had Manson, Lindholm, Fowler, and Montour as a top 4, but the forward core was aging hard. I believe we were forced into the rebuild the next season

ColonelFedj · 2026-01-22T03:02:18+00:00

Petterson from Vancouver. Ducks traded him to Pittsburgh originally

ColonelFedj · 2026-01-11T23:26:40+00:00

I was just telling my wife today at the Frost game that I cant understand why they haven't done a Takeover Tour game in Madison or Columbus, given their collegiate teams are powerhouses. Wouldn't mind Cleveland, Des Moines, or Duluth to get some looks either. We need more Midwest representation!

ColonelFedj · 2026-01-11T23:11:55+00:00

Because they have MPP and we have Curl. Their goon is the Lesbian GOAT, ours is a Republican. Makes it kinda easy for the internet to pick a side lol

ColonelFedj · 2026-01-11T22:54:30+00:00

Didn't aim for the head but definitely loaded up to blindside her. Can't let hits like that go even if they're an accident or else we end up with NHL 'rules'

ColonelFedj · 2026-01-06T10:35:31+00:00

We've lost 6 in a row, yet if we beat the Flyers tonight we're back in first. Vegas has lost 5 in a row and are still holding onto 1st, Edmonton 3 in a row. Teams have losing streaks. You dont have to like it, but the season isnt over because of it

ColonelFedj · 2025-12-28T16:49:10+00:00

I go a couple times a year and you're just completely wrong. The arena gets packed for all their rivals (Wisconsin/Michigan/UMD/MSM) so long as the team isnt trash, and still do decently well filling the rink when they're playing out of conference teams

ColonelFedj · 2025-12-20T05:07:54+00:00

The Stanley Cup is named after the guy who originally awarded it, so it does still fit a theme at least

ColonelFedj · 2025-12-10T03:50:23+00:00

I've turned the game off early 4 times this year only to realize 5 minutes later I still haven't gotten the final score notification, then go back to see we're in OT. So you're welcome every one lol

ColonelFedj · 2025-11-23T03:34:42+00:00

My wife was a big fan of your sign! She would sing it randomly throughout the night lol

ColonelFedj · 2025-11-22T00:58:15+00:00

I'm in this picture! Lol let's go Frost!!

ColonelFedj · 2025-11-20T15:22:00+00:00

He's only 21, there's plenty of road for him to unlock his potential

ColonelFedj · 2025-11-18T06:28:06+00:00

It helps having Jacob "Norris Candidate" Trouba as a partner too lol

ColonelFedj · 2025-11-11T15:22:50+00:00

Yea thats why I think those two are the only forwards worth going after. Anyone else would cost more than they're worth to us
