In a for fun shootout. But one of those two can probably get at least one that counts

Rud already back in the lineup cuz Begley sucks, too. These two being your 7th and 8th D... Oh my god.

He recruited hard this cycle because he wants to "leave the program in a better place than when he got here" since the coach at the U is just a "caretaker". He says that kinda stuff. Unfortunately his poor recruiting in the other recent classes including the 2026 incomers is leaving the program...

When I said 2028 I meant 2027-28. I don't think that's unreasonable that you need at least one transition year to get rid of lots of bad habits. Before the transfer portal/CHL era I would have said 2028-29. It will be different than a guy like Dane Jackson taking over at UND after being there...

Yes you're right. If Motzko is fired/"retires" after this year it will take at least two seasons for the new staff to install their team. So you're already looking at something like 2028 at the earliest for men's hockey. For women's hockey, they should have moved on from Frost a while ago...

Bad hockey is hard to watch. Gopher fans aren't dumb. They know it's bad hockey and a season full of it to come. I pray for those souls making the trip to GF.

Retro and respect for the past is always better than new age crap

Throwback means the Gophers used to wear white helmets and white pants? Anyone have some retro pics of that?

I'll hitch my train and admit if I'm wrong at the end of the year

These guys are fucking brutal

Yes every team should have them which is why the Gophers and St Cloud are the only two in Big Ten/NCHC without one this year. The difference is top teams get superstars and will win titles and also rans will pick up guys that let them steal some games like just happened. If the Gopher bring in...

They are table stakes for non blue bloods and the biggest equalizer to happen to college hockey in decades if not ever

Clarkson beats PSU at Pegula with three goals by CHL guys. Instant impact from those guys all over the country. Can Bob bring in one that plays both D and goalie? 3 of 5 goals in the Gopher loss to MTU were CHL/Usports guys

Desperately trying to spread out limited depth of talent almost never works. Pahlsson with Ziemer and Mooney? Oh boy, they might get frustrated with a 3C at best between them

You have to adapt with the times. Michigan brought in a superstar goalie. Why didn't the Gophers? Quinnipiac brought in a guy that played pro games. If you don't take advantage of the edge of the rules you're gonna get left behind. Like how the SEC teams used to pay all their football players...
