The bright spots. We got the point and still control our destiny for up to 2 more losses(more depending on how many Tampa and Florida lose) and our call ups played solid. I actually really liked Lorentz on the first line, he’s really trying to prove he deserves to be on the roster. He’s no Fast in terms of play style who compliments Aho well but he did bring fire and energy.

Aho played his ass off last night too.  
 

I chalk that loss up to coaching as much as anything else. We tried to sit back in the third, that didn’t work. We gave up too many breakaways overall. Ned flat out was out of gas by the start of the third and we should have pulled him. And starting Svech-Tro in overtime Vs. Barkov just not a smart move. Should have had Aho-Lorentz(Tro)-(Pesce/Slavin) out there. No knock on Svech or Tro. Just needed shutdown guys on Barkov then get shooters out there once he was off the ice.  
 

If Ned hadn’t have played 3 games in 5 days that game would have been in the bag easy. At least now we know though.

    • I mean, at the time that wouldn't have worked for them. The truth is that when they had the biggest advantage in that conversation was also when Notre Dame was at their peak arrogance and revenue stream creation(prior to the Longhorns Network, etc). Notre Dame was just never going to work out. The biggest thing they could have done is go hard AF and try to give insane deals to the premier Big 12 teams. Even then, most of them were eyeing the Big Ten and SEC. The biggest issue with the ACC was betting wrong. Miami and Virginia Tech ended up being disasters. Basically former college football powerhouses that ended up being afterthoughts by the time they arrived. I mean Miami specifically have literally had a total of three double digit win seasons since they joined the ACC in 2004 and two of those are in the past 2 seasons. Virginia Tech just fell apart at the wrong time, although I think Franklin will bring them back to prominence to an extent. Had we had it to do in hindsight, probably taking teams like TCU, Baylor, etc would have been wiser options than some of the moves into the Northeast and getting Miami.   But, ultimately, fug all this nonsense. It's the insane greed of college football that killed regional rivalries, college basketball and entire storied, REGIONAL conferences. That is the real blame. The thirst for the destruction of all college sports which sits squarely at the feet of the slobbering, ignorant rednecks and hillbillies at the top of the college football sphere.
    • Im wondering how long it will take me to turn the game off
