Catching the Game: @St. Cloud State, 10/19-20/2012

Oh, we’ve got a few questions:

  1. Can Craig Pierce keep up his goal-a-game pace?
  2. Will Johnny Griggs have his A-game this weekend?
  3. How will the boys adjust to the first road trip of the year?
  4. How does Coach Kurt Kleinendorst like his eggs?
  5. Can the boys get a win?

My answers?  I hope so; I hope so; I bet they do well; scrambled; yep.

We’ve seen the improvements that this team has made in a short period of times in knowing Coach’s systems better each game.  Yes, Johnny saw a lot of shots on Saturday, but he told me that they were mostly perimeter shots that he saw very well.  Can the Chargers go on the road and face a St. Cloud team that has to be smarting after to road losses to UNH?  That is the big question.  The USCHO people sure don’t think so; they ranked Mankato toward the bottom of the WCHA pre-season, and both have St. Cloud #4 in the league.  I will undoubtedly be a tough test.  Oh, and there’s the fact that Huntsville’s Nic Dowd is a Huskie.

Anyway, here’s how you catch the game:

I will try to do recaps of road games whenever possible this season, but I am definitely out for tonight and probably out for tomorrow night with other commitments.  Michael, you’d certainly be free to do one if you wanted—it definitely doesn’t have to be me.

Go Chargers!
