Really well played game from the guys last night. Excellent job by the PK coming up big time and killing off a couple very bad calls. Scheel was excellent all weekend. The guys definitely looked like they were out to prove something this weekend which was great to see. Now gotta back it up next weekend against St. Cloud. Got a good laugh at the guys waving bye to their student section and making fun of that stupid whiteboard when they were celebrating the win at the net after the final buzzer.

Such a disappointing loss for the Gophers today. Played one of their worst games of the year with so many mistakes. Think the most frustrating thing to me was the defensive game plan in the 1st half to sit back and not blitz really at all against a QB that struggles against pressure. That combined with a ton of missed tackles in the 1st half led to an extremely productive 1st half for Iowa. Still had a chance to win at the end but just didn't get it done. Win at Northwestern next week and it should set up a date with wisconsin for the B1G West Championship with a pretty good chance of College Gameday coming to town then too.

Fun game to watch. Little disappointed we didn't get the straight up win as I still don't think DU's goal should have counted and then the one late scramble in OT that got through the DU goalie and somehow just went wide. Good play by Weatherby and finish by Poolman to get the extra point.

You're the best. Thank You!

Sweep is a sweep. Not near as clean and crisp tonight but still got the job done. I think next weekend will give us a much better idea of just exactly where this team is at.

It always seems like it is like 30mph winds, cold, and raining when the Gophers play in Evanston with about 500 people actually at the game. Weird things happen in college football but Northwestern's offense has been absolutely dreadful all year. I think Gameday would make the trip to Minneapolis for the Wisconsin game if it is a battle for the West but not sure if they still would if the Gophers have already wrapped up the division.

Wish I could've got down there for that one. Man it looked like The Bank was rocking on TV. Few press people said the press box was shaking after a couple Gopher TDs and they couldn't recall that ever happening there.

Iowa is a tough place to play next week. Gophers have more talent but it has been a long time since they've won down there. It will be a test.

Where is he gonna be? Just re did his contract the buyout until January 1st 2021 is $10 million. He loves working with Coyle and isn't going anywhere outside of the Midwest due to his family situation. He had a list of 10 schools including Minnesota when he came to Minnesota. Plus he has all the row the boat stuff and I don't think some traditional programs would let him put the oars, compasses, and stuff like that on their uniforms. Believe it or not Minnesota is a very good fit for him.

I was

Kiersted

Definitely a choppy game offensively. Just not a whole lot of sharpness with the puck but I guess some of the credit on that should go to Tech. Got the win though and that is the most important thing.

Pinto

That is just stupid. Hain really struggled last night by imo that was more a product of who he was playing with and Blaisdell really had some solid sequences.

PJ was definitely campaigning for Gameday to head to Minneapolis in a couple weeks. I still think they will end up going to LSU/Bama but he had a good sell. Really fun one to watch today. Gonna be a fun build up to that huge game with Penn State. Biggest Gopher game in a long time. TCF should be rocking.

Good to get out of that one with a win. Bemidji was the hungrier team, the more urgent team, and the team that executed better for about 50ish minutes tonight. UND just seemed a half second slow with everything for most of the night. Nobody really had a great game but I thought Mismash and Blaisdell had some solid play as far as forwards go. Caulfield was solid in his limited opportunities too. For as good as Hain was watching him opening weekend he was non-existent tonight. I don't think the line changes tonight helped him out at all. I think I'd keep him with at least one of Mismash, Michaud, and Pinto. Think Frisch needs to be a little bit more aggressive with his offense. Seemed a little hesitant at times and I think part of it is just being more confident and trusting yourself. Had a couple solid shot looks where he chipped it back in the corner instead.

Gophers just have to take care of business against Maryland. Maryland has a ton of speed so the defense will have to really tackle well in space. Especially with the Gophers top tackler this year Kamal Martin leaving the game against Rutgers and looking like he will miss at the very least this next week. The Gophers offense has to be able to take advantage of a Terp defense that hasn't been good though. The Wisconsin loss was definitely a nice surprise yesterday for sure.

I'd love for another night game for the Gophers but it sounds like that probably won't happen. Apparently they were interviewing an associate AD pregame yesterday and he said they've been told it won't be a night game. If I were to guess I'd say it will be Fox's Big noon game and while it would be cool to be their focus game a 11 a.m. start wouldn't help the atmosphere at all.

Sounded like a very exciting and fun game just wish I could've watched it. Seemed like the Hain-Michaud-Mismash line was really really good again but just didn't have much to show for it. Pinto is a very good player and definitely has the coaching staff's trust. Who was taking the crucial defensive zone faceoffs late? Pinto.

Fun to watch tonight. Gophers just physically dominated Nebraska. Gotta keep taking care of business and beating the teams you are supposed. Can't have any sort of let down next week at Rutgers.

Only caught bits and pieces of the game but seemed like it was a slow start before the guys got going. Good to see a big number put up on the board and multiple goal scorers. A Sioux sweep combined with Gopher football destroying Nebraska make it a pretty good Saturday. Hopefully the Vikings can follow suit tomorrow.

Are these new jerseys Colorado College is wearing? They might be the worst I've ever seen. The white writing and numbers with the yellow jersey is bad and then you mix in some light gray on the shoulders and top it off with a white helmet. Not a good mix at all.

Despite not scoring the powerplay showed some good things. Thought they overpassed quite a bit and the spacing was just a little off a few times and those are things that should improve as guys get more used to each other. I would've liked to see a time of possession stat tonight. Felt like UND had the puck 90% of the game. Was impressed with Peski tonight. Coming into the year I kinda wondered if Frisch might take some playing time from him but his skating looks much improved and he looked good tonight. The Mismash-Michaud-Hain line created a ton tonight and really look like they work well together.

I'd bring back both of them and sign another free agent as well with Pineda missing the first 40ish games because of his suspension. I'd give Cole whatever he wants but he will still probably end up on the west coast. Maybe end up with someone like Zack Wheeler. I really don't have a preference but I won't be surprised at all if Rosario is a guy they look to move while looking for pitching help and guys like Kirilloff, Larnach, and Rooker getting closer. Rotation of 1.Berrios 2.Odorizzi 3.Pineda(when his suspension is over)4.Wheeler 5.Winner of spring training battle Thorpe, Smeltzer, Dobnak. Graterol will take over a spot at some point in the summer but doubt they put him in the rotation right out of spring training. Yes.
