Need a first round superstar I didn't change my opinion...

I mostly meant to salvage that D unit you need a superstar. Those other teams have solid top 4s so don't need an out and out star. Those teams have 7s with some 8s and some 6. Gophers are going into next year with 5s and 6s.

Even Murr is not the kind of talent you need two of to fix this. You'll need AT LEAST one first rounder. Period.

Gruba/Whipple/Rombach are serviceable second pair I guess, but barely in the case of Gruba and Rombach. Mclaughlin is third pair, DU had no issue discarding him for a reason Grimes and Phillips will struggle next year. Bottom pair Harper is not Luke Hughes. He'd have a long year if he comes in...

The blue line can't be salvaged in one offseason losing Thomas and Mittelstadt. It is the worst I can recall and putting hope on a kid turning 18 in October is setting up for disappointment.

Maybe others don't feel the same but in decades of watching Gopher hockey... Ziemer has somehow quietly stacked up an incredible 18 goals through 27 games. Lots of PPG, but... .666 goals/game .462 goals/game career Jimmy Snuggerud, the best pure goalscorer to come through the program in 20...

No chance. From a probability side not from a Gopher's winning six side. Maybe if they go 8-0 but i doubt it even then. The hole they dug is too big. They have 16 losses already. Crazy.

This is tournament team level play. But what happened in all the other games? Now they have to win the conference tournament with three stacked teams

Oh my god

Airey won't start tonight. Should be an opportunity to bring in a better goalie via the portal or CHL this spring to compete with LDP. But most of the best have been committing elsewhere already.

Would be the first goalie goal in Gopher history unless I'm losing my memory/knowledge

This never happens. That's UND.

A fucking incredible play to save a Gopher goalie goal. What a shot by the goalie.

Gophers get their first win of 2026. Badgers have lost five in a row. They are pretenders and not contenders like the absolutely stacked Michigan teams.

Mooney Ziemer Lamb apparently being on the ice for every single power play goal this year is insane. Zero depth at forward but also just a crazy stat Edit: if this stat was accurate it's no longer valid
