Wow - I was not aware of his struggles. So sad to see from such a great former gopher. Really hope he gets the help he needs.

What’s funny is a couple years ago when we had a really good record in 3 v 3 OT bonin had posts about how those wins didn’t mean anything because there’s no 3 on 3 in the postseason (which I actually kind of agree with at least partially). All the guy does is move goalposts to support his...

Countless great players are not great in the shootout. Alex Ovechkin is below 30% for his career, Marian Gaborik was notoriously bad in the shootout. heck a quick scan of all time NHL shootout % leaders has some pretty underwhelming names at the top. Croosby and Ovi don't even crack the top 100.

Look this is a message board and we are all entitled to our own opinions and reality is we are just fans watching on our couch who have no impact on the games. Am I disappointed in our poor OT/Shootout performances? A little bit, in the sense that they might cost us another B1G championship...

Is goal differential the tie break?

Well we lead the country in goals and are second in goals per game so yeah I’m not concerned about a lack of offensive skill. I’ll live with the shootout losses.

I hope they don’t, because it’s terrible hockey, and it’s not how postseason games are decided. I really don’t care if we lose every shootout for the next 20 years, which it kind of looks like we might lol. More isn’t made of our shootout woes because they don’t impact the pairwise.

Didn’t say I like it, I just don’t see it as the end of the world like you. I’m frustrated because it feels like we should have had both, and it would have been awesome to sweep both Michigan and Wisconsin on the season, but life moves on and we’re still a contender.

I mean obviously sucks to not leave the weekend with a win but I guess I don’t see two OT games on the road against a pretty good team as being such a terrible weekend. 3 on 3 and shootouts are garbage anyway so whatever.

Looks like 7 in a row from 1999 to 2005. He also started 1996 and 1997 so 9 in 10 years.

I haven't heard any screams of abuse related to the Theodore situation, but you'd have to be delusional to deny that there has been some funny business with Mark Stone. Now I don't necessarily blame VGK - it's not like they designed the flawed system. But let's not act like they haven't taken...

3 on 3 hockey is awful. Too good of a game last night to be decided that way.

I looked back and found the answer but won't spoil it yet. Not so fun fact I found while researching, the Twins lost 8 straight openers from 2009-2016.

My best guess, and it is purely a guess, is Johan. If not him I'm going to guess Brad Radke

He's a douche and kind of a lunatic but when you win like him you can get away with that.

I've been begging for something that's not rap/hip hop/country for years now, but I realize I'm probably in the minority.

Yeah you’re not wrong, there have still been plenty of great games, I just agree with GII that the game just feels less about football than it does the cultural event for Rich people. Which is fine but I prefer the focus on football.

Fargo obviously ideal for travel purposes but fans in the stands realistically have little to no impact on a hockey game.

It’s the least interesting round of the playoffs by far. Partially because it’s only one game, but mostly because like you said it’s more about the spectacle than it actually is about football.

Given our schedule vs theirs I would have my money on MSU winning the B10 as well. Which might not be the worst thing so we can play a first round series rather than have a bye.
