COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — It’s funny how the perspective can change on weather.
In northern Minnesota, everyone is preparing as best they can for some bitingly cold wind chills (50 below zero for many), and no matter what some rando on Facebook wants you to think, it does not get that cold every January.
Meanwhile, here in Colorado, people are bracing for what they think is serious cold weather.
In talking to some of the locals, it’s worth reminding all those in Minnesota who are laughing right now that this is not normal here. Hell, the golf courses are open here.
Anyway, Friday wasn’t a great night unless you’re Colorado College. Let’s aim for better.
Luke Bast draws in for Riley Bodnarchuk. No other changes, as Adam Gajan remains out with a lower-body injury.
For Colorado College, Ty Gallagher is dressed for at least the warmup after blocking a Dominic James one-timer with a portion of his left arm Friday night. He did not return to the game. Fantastic news that he’s able to be a gametime decision at the minimum, so CC will scratch either its extra defenseman (Koering) or Gallagher before the opening faceoff.
Klayton Knapp vs Kaidan Mbereko.
