Sanderson is no slouch in the speed department and skating agility. I really feel our strength is our smothering defense. When we want to shut a team down we can do it and win 2-1 or 1-0 even. I think low scoring games seem to favor us. We'll see if we bring that smothering defense with this weekend.

I want the three amigos back together (Senden, Hain and Jammer) to wreak havoc on the forecheck. I love Smaltz, Gaber and Caufield. How bout Ford Portz and Albrecht. I'll throw one more in Kunz, Costantini, Albrecht possibly a combo also and put Ness with Ford and Portz. Albrecht and Kunz will free pucks up down low and constantini will provide the magic while Kunz has talent and Albrecht has the grit. Kleven I think will be back full time on #2 pair. He's too good to sit and he was a good boy Saturday night even though he should have sent a message to McLaughlin. I also love Albrechts game (heavy with an edge). I will get eye rolls but I still say we are very deep. Maybe not so in scoring but our depth in what I call intangibles has gotten us some huge wins when we were shorthanded some of our main cogs.

I would have to agree that it is very unlikely you'll see supplementary discipline by B10. It seems that it has to be something to the head or something blatantly meant to injure like when Denver took out Scheel behind the play.

Same old Bush League crap from the rodents.

Just watched the replay again of the Calder slash from McLaughlin (spelling). If someone is more tech savvy to show the replay on here. The replay is at the 1:05:00 or a little after of the Saturday game replay. Nasty 2 hander.

May have been to send a message about Kleven’s cross checking major.

You could see on the replay that the gopher player swung his stick using both hands as hard as he could.

Lafontaine had a lot to do with the score being close. Pretty lopsided play in our favor most of game.

I think the Gophers may be better than Duluth. As much as that pains me to say. Size and talent up the wazoo. They’ll choke though at tourney time despite all that.

I guess the kids enjoy the different jerseys. Maybe do it for them

The Jersey thing has been overused imo. Like we think we’re Clark Kent changing in a phone booth into his Super Man outfit. Getting old.

We are at #5 in the pairwise right now.

Yes it is. If we finish this 6 game stretch .500 after playing St Clown I think most people would take that.

He would have had to shut out the Gophers to win. Take away that goal where he misplayed the puck and I think he played ok. A lot of Minnies chances were grade A variety.

Tough to win when you can’t score goals

Driscoll did not play badly

These losses to ranked teams hurt less than to an unranked.

Not the end of the world but disappointing. We knew this 6 game stretch was gonna be tough start with Duluth. .500 after this weekend and our pairwise will be ok

i.e 14 freshmen has something to do with that I think but is no excuse.

Yes and he would have walked in water too. Why are you always bashing the coach. Go wash your Gopher jersey for tomorrow.

Dean Blais would have pulled Driscoll with 6 minutes left and that’s a fact.

What difference if you lose by 1 or 10

I disagree. Vladislav Tretiak couldn’t keep us in this game. Just poor defensive effort

Driscoll is not the problem
