Solid 3rd period and got the needed result but absolutely unacceptable first 2 periods. Slow to pucks, sloppy in every facet, and just didn’t look engaged.

Thought it was a much more aggressive engaged effort all around last night. Definitely some things to clean up specifically in the defensive zone and need to be stronger with some of the passes in the neutral zone.

I'm a Gopher fan in everything but hockey so I disagree with most of what you have here obviously. I've had my problems with PJ's conservative philosophy over the years and it is nice to see him actually evolving a little this season. I watched every minute last night and didn't see any huge empty sections. Not only was Brosmer easily in on 4th down but he was in on 3rd. Those officials were horrible all night especially when it comes to spotting the ball. They made no effort to hustle in and look to see if Brosmer was in and looked like they didn't even want to make the call. USC's first TD was because a 3rd down play at the 10 was spotted a yard and a half off because the ref was way behind the play so it becomes a 1st down instead of 4th and 1+, Driver stepped out at the 1 pretty clearly and they ruled it a TD on the field but review caught that one, numerous times DEs were tackled and no holding call but they throw one on a WR on a big play and there was nothing here. My biggest problem with replay is this stupid part that says you need conclusive evidence. Half the time you can see the guys on the field have no idea what the actual call should be so why do we then need conclusive evidence to change that? I'm more than fine using common sense in a lot of these situations and I'm happy we are starting to see that more like the 2 situations you mentioned.

Perron

He did blow multiple games late with crazy bullpen decision's though and a collapse like this someone is taking the fall.

What a performance defensively against one of the top offenses in football.

I like these combos and they might've been what I said when we first were throwing combos up a couple months ago but I can't remember. One of the biggest things I'm looking for is trying to put guys together that play at the same pace, feels like too often we have had a guy that just seems out of place on a line because he isn't as good of a skater and he opts to dump a puck and try to play along the boards when he had another forward with him looking to create with his speed.

One of the biggest things I was looking at and it is something I don't think Berry looks at enough is trying to put guys together that play with the same pace/skating ability. Trying to get speed guys together and really push the pace.

This past season? Dawson was at way more than 65K, he was at 300K. Despite never even entering the portal Garcia had a 700K offer from Gonzaga a couple weeks ago but opted to stay at Minnesota for a couple hundred thousand less.

Morgan got 200K from Nebraska, Minnesota offered 100 for him.

As of now I'd go Swanson-Berg-Perron James-Boisvert-McLaughlin Kunz-Wilkie-Strinden Schmaltz-Jamernik-Croal Livanavage-Zmolek Wiebe-Emery Strathmann-MacDonald Jubenvil Hedquist

Minnesota has not shown any interest at this point and I don't think they will. Have heard BJ's agent initial NIL ask turned some SEC schools off completely.

Disappointing crash to a season that showed so much promise at times. Too many missed opportunities in the 1st. Leaving that period at only 1-0 was trouble. Too many turnovers in the 2nd half of the game just got extremely careless. Michigan definitely got some puck luck but back breaker was Persson giving up the 2nd, just cover the damn puck. Not enough urgency and getting pucks to the net, content to play on the perimeter. Brady Berry clock is ticking. 1 ncaa win since the national championship and 3 missed tourneys when we hadn’t missed one in forever. Some say parity and I’ll never agree with that, watch the spittin chiclets video and try to sell someone on parity how many other places are even in the same ballpark with those amenities maybe a couple. Frozen Fours should be the expectation around here.

Goaltending certainly could have been better Have to do a better job of getting a cycle established Need to play with more of an edge going forward

Solid weekend of hockey. Thought the guys played with a different sense of urgency which is what you need to see this time of year. Really liked what Hedquist showed and it really is just more of what we have seen from him all year.

Listening to YHH podcast they had Schultz as a sure thing gone and Simpson pretty likely back as well as most if not all of the Shakopee kids.

No way Vikings were coming close to what Cousins got today and I think that is the right move. Not sure where they turn at QB. I'd try to trade for Fields but guessing Chicago won't want to move him in division. Been some talk about Darnold, Brissett, and Tannenhill. Tough thing with moving up in the draft is it certainly looks like those top 3 will all go QB and personally I'm not confident enough in McCarthy to move up for him. Really, really like the signings the Vikes made defensively today. Cashman and Van Ginkel seem like perfect guys for Flores scheme. Aaron Jones and Devondre Campbell are a couple other guys out there I would like to see end up in Purple.

EGF and Hermantown both play AA at the youth level I believe.

I've wondered why he isn't committed somewhere every time I've watched him the last 2 seasons. Seems like an ideal package of what you want in a defenseman good size, offensive skill, skates well, heavy shot, and can bring physical element. Always been very impressed with him. Would bet a lot of people will be talking about him these next few days after seeing him in the tournament again.

Yep definitely forgot about this with the busy sports day. Likely woulda went Johannes or Gaber with the Senior night special so wouldn’t have mattered.

Solid weekend of hockey. Team can win in different ways and showed it this weekend.

Berg

Solid weekend of hockey. Wasn't always the cleanest and definitely some lulls but overall a nice bounceback from last weekend.

Biggest concern going forward for me is goaltending and d zone coverage. Way too many shots that should be handled and swallowed up easy are resulting in rebounds, 2nd opportunities, and more zone time.
