MN 0-1 tOSU after 1 Mason Nevers with a beautiful tip of a Buckeye pass to score tOSU first goal, an “own goal”. get MN off the glacier and the game is very different.

An excellent time to thank @jimdahl for all his work here. And yeah I agree with your main point. Stunning.

Let him on the plane! I'm looking forward to seeing more of Pitlick's energy in this series. He's a real playmaker and was hustling everywhere. Here's hoping he has lots of reasons to (but doesn't) throw his stick next weekend! Yeah the guy just made a dumb mistake. He sounds like a good kid and he’s a great player. I’m sure what he had to hear from his coaches and teammates, as well as getting absolutely torched on social media, is punishment enough. Let him try and redeem himself this weekend and the rest of the year. Calling it right now, we meet North Dakota in the tournament, Pitlick scores in OT and tosses his stick into the crowd. This is from Gopher Puck Live forum............... If UND and MN meet in the Tournament, I would say pretty high odds that a stick or sticks gets tossed into the crowd, after the game is over.

M77 probably learned the rule book from Ben Clymer (of the Bally announcing team), who not only didn't know the rule book but went ballistic "with sprockets" (WTH?) when refs sent M77 to the box. Gopher fans are the king of "I know I'm right" often vehemently, when the truth is opposite. If I had a nickel ... * me (new to Twin Cities in 1982), celebrating after the Sioux won in Providence. random Gopher fan: "Why? We won!" /arguing ensues * random Gopher fan: "we have the most NCAA championships". Me: your team is only 5th on that list. /anger and arguing ensues Of course, take off their Rodent jerseys and most are really fine people, but hockey brings out the irrational. /end rant

My favorite comment: "The ND guy who scored in OT should've tossed his stick into the Gophers bench."

In some sections, 50-50 odds it went to a UND fan.

I'll put these two together and note the last time the Sioux and Gophers played exhibition games was 1978-1979. Friday night in Minot and Saturday night in Eveleth for the US Hockey Hall of Fame. One long brawl, since the games didn't count and you got to send a message.. ( I Don't think that much brawling would happen in 2024-2025.) And, yeah, those were the first two games with Gino Gasparini as head coach.

Once we get all our players in tune to play five-man defense in our own zone, we will be formidable. tonight, it feels like we stole one.

Listen to those Sioux fans at The John! Good job guys.

Yeah baby!!!

I would be thinking about naming him Associate Head Coach soon…

Genius challenge by Goehring and whoever is watching the video monitor.

Gophers need to score first to take the crowd out of it.

4 minutes left ... time to get the starters out

12 plays, 93 yards, put 7 on the board. Just what the doctor ordered. Good job guys. PS love the hurry up on first and goal.

That's one illegal procedure caused by noise. Good job, Alerus fans!

Does Bochenski have eligibility left? Im wondering how Costantini would look, but I hate to mess up McLaughlin’s line.

The only UND player finishing positive plus-minus tonight? Blake. playing him with Schmaltz is a good call.

Up to St Cloud and Denver to salvage something.

By the book, it’s a hook. But I agree with you; it’s not consistent with how the rest of the game was called.

Argh. Good effort overall but a lot to review before tomorrow.

Two minutes to regroup and win the OT.

Upset alert UW 3-2 over UMD late 2nd tears in gfhockey (aka drunk hockey guy) beer.

Great to have finished that period with the lead, on the road, at #1. Lot of stuff for tomorrow morning video review, but love the compete and love our play without the puck. (Play with the puck could be better.)

Clock can’t run fast enough late 2nd
