Goon Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I saw that he had a save percentage under .900 and started thinking BC might be done for. I did not see if that was a career or season save percentage though. I can't figure out if B.C. is that bad or if Minnesota is that good. There's not been a lot of defense at all in this series. Anyone who wants video requests from this game, let me know. I should have most of it video DVRED. I think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no doubt that BC isn't playing the best defensively....I would think BC goalie would be rather disgusted with his play on those goals..... UMtc is good no question they have talent and speed but it see a classic goofier season ......dominate at home on the big rink....couple of cupcakes on the road (including the pig10) schedule...then an early out in the tourney. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokey the cat Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 That's a very impressive showing so far for the artist formerly known as the EZAC. How many of those wins came from playing against the Almost (a) Hockey Assc.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, good points, their fans already have them winning the NCAA title. After watching a few weeks, it looks like P.C. is the class of Hockey East and there's a lot of parity this season.

MNState0fHockey Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Find me one. No kidding. If anything, it's the opposite. Every Gopher fan I have interacted with is very cautiously optimistic because of their youth. The Gophers started 7 freshmen on Sunday. The young kids are playing really well right now (better than even the most optimistic Gopher fans expected), but will that last the whole season is the question. I will say this - Lots to be excited about for the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MafiaMan Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I will say this - Lots to be excited about for the future I think I heard that just after the BC game in the Frozen Four in 2011, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxweet Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I've seen this before from minnesota teams where they are a young team get off to a torrid start and fizzle out at the end. we'll see if this year is different. they do have everything lined up in their favor though as the big ten tourney and west regional is in their back yard.

Goon Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 (edited) There's always the unrealistic "we're going undefeated" Gopher fans hanging around... They're on Facebook trolling. There are a few unrealistic Gopher fans, they remind me of another fan base in Fargo, ND I had a Gopher fan (aka clown) chirp me on twitter yesterday, when I sent out a hook line and sinker tweet earlier last week. Every fan base has them. As a fan base, it seems like some Gopher fans lack a sense of humor, not everyone gets it like Jupiter. Again, I think there's a lot of parity this season in college hockey, especially when you have Sacred Heart beating UMass Lowell and Brown beating Yale. I have always said, that you never win a national title in October, November or December. Also, this is some of the worst B.C. goaltending that I have seen in years. Kind of wish they were heading up to Grand Forks this weekend. Edited October 28, 2013 by Goon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, there are those types in every fan base. Maybe I should rephrase. Every logical thinking Gopher fan out there is cautiously optimistic. They are off to a much better start than anyone could have expected, but they are so young. I'll wait and see where they are at in a few months before I start predicting outcomes for this season. I'm just happy they are in the discussion of contenders at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of wish they were heading up to Grand Forks this weekend. I don't know, Demko played pretty well on Friday. And hard to completely fault Billett for the goals on Saturday. If anything, I think BC's defenders were more to blame. Lots of grade A chances for the Gophers. I mean, Ambroz was left all alone in front of BC's net. Not a defender within 10 feet.

Not from me Hopefully we get to see this Gopher class play the class you guys are bringing in next season. If they all hang around long enough, those games could be epic.

I think it's pretty clear Demko is going to be BC's goalie. The kid is 17. He wouldn't be there if he was just going to back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. He had a shaky start on Friday, but looked really good in the 2nd and 3rd periods of that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
