    I also wonder if there is real external/internal pressure to keep the Gophers roster as Minnesotan as possible. Would guess there isn't a quota (they've added more non Minnesotans over the past 5 years, especially in net), but with what you know, read, & hear from Gophers fans, they're not exactly welcoming to Canadians.

    The Gofs always prided themselves on being "America's Team" back in the day, so it wouldn't surprise me if that mindset is still prevalent over at Mary-oochie.

  2. Kudos to the 1,500 or so Minnesota fans that braved the 60 degree fall weather to watch the Gofers play Boston College.  They were outshot most of the game 2 to 1, ended up 33-19 in favor of BC I believe.  Gofer goalie looked good; offensively they didn't generate a lot, though...granted it's early in the season so I'm sure they will pick up the intensity.  Always fun to watch two of the original Axis of Evil squads play because you know that one of them is going to lose.;)

    The problem is that outside of Schlossman (biggest voice, but not super well known outside of NCAA diehards) & then to a lesser extent, McMahon, Divver, & Peters, no one with intimate knowledge of NCAA Hockey writes articles that well. And because hockey is a top down sport where far more people follow the NHL as opposed to amateur options like the NCAA, junior, etc, it means that articles are going to have a very professional slant/bias to them, instead of focusing on who is best set to win NCAA National Championships.

    So Draft Kings has four B1G teams in their top 5 for betting odds on winning the Natty.  Are they kind of clueless about college hockey as well?  You would think they need to know what the hell they're talking about.

    St Thomas is the home team and will defend the side as the Wild. The note that pops up after you buy tickets about UND/Shoots twice on this side is actually backward. Not sure how TM screwed that up but I’m not terribly surprised 

    At least they didn't call us North Dakota State.:glare:

    St. Thomas was reeling in the third period against SCSU.  Blew their three goal lead in the first 13 minutes of the third.  Then Warroad legend Damon Gardner took a head contact penalty that gave Rico's team new life late in the third period.  Up to that point SCSU was going to win that game.

    St. Thomas played really well the first two periods.  I'm sure a talking point from them would be a .........#fullsixty.....:whistling: 

    Full sixty?  Can't place it.

    You think the national pundits(and some local ones) would learn but every year we're talking about how the Big 10 is going to start dominating college hockey.

    He's better than what they have had.

    Alex, Holden, Mazzocco, the Denver guy, and the ESPN regional guy are the best ones that do pxp for college.

    As much of a Gopher homer he is he at least knows the game better than most.

    Yeah, but he's still a Super-Gofer...

    Watching the Gopher/Michigan Tech highlights, is Mazzocoo doing Gopher tv games again?

    Yup...and he had to update his hair hat to the grey model.  Same old Gofer homer though; was having a sh*t fit at the end of the game when Minny challenged for a phantom major penalty and they didn't get it.

    Thanks for sharing! It was a good listen! I appreciated their observations about Penn State historically having a very weak non-conference schedule and this year is no exception. They have road trips to ASU and RIT so that ASU trip is tough but then six home games against LIU, Clarkson, and Stonehill. Looks like McKenna can boost his Hobey resume playing some weaker opponents. 

    Hope they enjoy their cupcakes...

    Kaprizov signed for 17 per for 8 years with the Wild 

    That's a crazy amount for a guy that gets hurt as much as he does; hopefully for the Wild he can manage to stay healthy.  BTW, Connor McDavid says thanks!  I'm sure that will be the starting point for annual salary during his negotiations.
