You want answers?!?!?

It's been awhile since I've offered up a Q&A. But with the season nearing its midway point, it's probably a good time to get your questions. Here are the rules: Post a question about MSU hockey or, really, anything you want, in the comment section of this post, and, probably Thursday, I will put up a blog post answering said questions. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Do you see Phil Cook getting playing time this season to gain some confidence back or do we see Karambelas get time to prep for next year? I am excited about Williams but I was also about Murdock. Hopefully we will get to see Murdock play in the building when LSSU join the WCHA.

I like the way the guys have been playing lately, how much does being healthy have to do with that or is just growing into college hockey? Also, other than CC this weekend and UMD, UND at the end,the remaining schedule looks favorabl. How do you see the boys finishing?

Who do you see as the next Maverick to play in the NHL, and how many Mavericks are out there professionally not in the NHL right now? It would be good to get updates on who is still out there playing either in the minors or in Europe.

Another question - is there any real plans of action they have to help get people back in the Wireless after this season? The schedule, as you have mentioned, with weekends without students and having to go at the same time as basketball, is killing the atmosphere there. I am hoping there is a plan for making sure that they're leagues do not intertwine this much again and a plan to get people back interested in the team and the Civic Center other than better performance.

I was happy to see the Mavs play real hockey against UAH last Saturday instead of the chippy style they used against the Gophers the previous weekend. I have had several conversations over the last couple of weeks on this subject. Do you think that the Mavs style of play against top tier teams like the Gophers and Sioux is bit on the chippy side to take those teams out of their game? Or am I on an island in this thinking? Why don't the Mavs employ the style that won them both games last weekend?

Shane, What do you attribute the better play the last couple of weekends to? Is it simply getting healthier? Is it getting key guys like Elbrecht back? Or are they just finally starting to get college hockey since it seems the guys leading the team are so young?

I could ask lots of questions but I will try to keep it short and save the rest for another day.

I live out of state and have been fortunate enough to catch some of the Charter broadcasts of MSU games (as well as SCSU and BSU) out here in South Dakota. Does MSU have plans to continue broadcasting their games in the future on Charter or elsewhere, especially considering the conference changes coming up?

I have been impressed with the freshman class so far this year, especially when they had to step it up so early in their careers for their injured team mates. Given the current freshman and sophmore classes and future known recruits, how do you see the Mavs faring next year in the old WCHA, and the new WCHA beyond that?

Thanks for taking the time to answer everyones questions! I always look forward to reading your blog!
