Godsmack

Penalties on Wiebe and Perron were inexcusable. Lazy penalties that led to two goals.

Not sure where to have posted this but did anyone hear Flyers coach John Tortorella’s response when asked about BC Eagle Cutter Gauthier being traded to Anaheim? -Leave it to Torts to give an interesting response. Sounds like the kid had no interest playing for the Flyers organization. He made that clear talking about Sidney Crosby being his idol on draft day while wearing a Flyers hat and jersey. Edit: If this post belongs in another thread, my apologies

Listening to Kris Mayotte’s post game comments. Summery: Couldn't generate much offensively. Gave Minnesota too many odd man rushes. “It was awful, no poise by us.” Mayotte’s quote. About Snuggerud….”He’s a world class talent and we knew that coming in and that’s what makes Minnesota so good but the way you beat that is by playing as a team but tonight for whatever reason, we couldn’t find the recipe to play as a group of five. We played disconnected.” Logan Will/Brett Link/Ryan Beck line…created turnovers, played well again tonight. “We’ve got to be better; gotta get back to a commitment to who we are. It unraveled for us tonight for too long of stretches. Too long where we couldn’t get it back under us. We didn’t get the job done but the good thing is, we have a quick turnaround later this week.”

Anyone know what CC’s pairwise ranking is now with the loss tonight?

Mbereko got chased from the net.

Cc getting curb stomped now, 6-2.

3-1, Minnesota

Sounds like a leaker by Mbereko based on CC’s play by play guy Ken Landau and it’s been all Gophers this period.

That’s the word on the street. Motzko wanted to get his star players back from the World Juniors for the series. Also, CC is still on winter break so they’re planning on staying in Minnesota for the entire week as they play at Duluth this weekend. Don’t have to worry about missing class by being gone the whole week.

It was a game play. Wisdom was going in on a breakaway when the Minnesota defender got a body on him from behind and pushed him into Close. Unfortunate things happen all the time resulting in player injuries. Good non-call.

I can live with that if it was legit. Wouldn’t want CC’s or UND’s opponents benefitting from a bad goal so can’t be upset if the refs waived off ours.

Was it a good call?

Now CHN removed the goal and it’s back to 1-1.

2-1, CC. Veremyev with a power play goal.

I went over to GPL last night after the game to try to get a sense of the thoughts and feelings of Gopher fans. They were not pleased with Justin Close and think the other goalie should start tonight. Also, they were not happy with all the D zone turnovers they gave up, and rightfully so. CC had so many good opportunities off turnovers by the Gophers. They’re nervous also because they fell to 14th in the Pairwise.

They’re televising it locally down here in the Springs but I “think” I saw somewhere that the games will be on the B1G+ streaming (I didn’t even know that was a thing).

How much rope does Gabinet have there at Omaha? More than Bergeron at Miami?

CC at Mariucci for a series with the Gophers starting today and concluding tomorrow. The team will stay in Minnesota for the rest of the week as they travel up 35w for their conference road series against Duluth.

So any changes with the line combos tonight?

And then the officiating crew doesn’t know the rules of icing. That blown icing call with 6 seconds left really screwed over Finland if you think about it. Had the official gotten it right and waited to blow his whistle until after the puck had crossed the far red line, then there probably would’ve been 4 maybe 5 ticks left on the clock and an offensive zone faceoff for Finland. Instead, the officials huddle and determine they messed up so they do a center ice faceoff with 6 seconds to play. You ask the Finns what they would’ve rather had-a center ice faceoff with 6 seconds or an O zone faceoff with 4 or 5 seconds. Don’t get me wrong, I’m very happy the U.S. won the game but I hate seeing bad calls/missed calls that could potentially affect the outcome.

Makeup call because those officials knew they made a weak one against the Finns. My god, that was a terrible call (both were terrible calls but more so the one against Finland)

Mbereko named NCHC goaltender of the month.

Wow. What a penalty to call in sudden death three on three overtime of the quarterfinals of the World Juniors.

It was the refs’ fault
