A sneaky 3rd change that’s huge, it’s at 5:30 local time instead of 8:00pm!!!

Ahhhhh yes, sounds like last year. Maybe Fleck should bring Jim Wacker back? Or his ghost? No need to run the ball to be good at football.

Still more impressive. Lost to UMD by 1 and they won it all.

Just took Wisconsin to the title game. Unless you put Wisconsin on the same level as MN, that’s also more impressive. What he just did is definitely more impressive than what Bob did at MN.

I don’t think the players were all that excited to be there. I think they were kind of done.

Wonder why Asuma isn’t playing his normal minutes?

Hastings, the obvious choice Coyle and the Gopher hockey power brokers passed on when they hired the coach they just fired.

Also, I think what Hastings did at Mankato was more impressive than what Motzko did at SCSU.

Just took WI to Frozen Four for the first time in 16 years. He’s still coaching, Bob is not. I think he’d still be coaching at MN if he was hired instead of Motzko.

I honestly don't think Coyle had much of a choice with the Johnson hire.

A hire that will end up being a shockingly pleasant surprise to most Gopherholers. Or, a hire most Gopher hockey fans didn't know they needed.

He’s not a middling coach. You’ll see what happens at SCSU after he’s left. He’ll be the best Gopher coach since Lucia and Brooks.

It’s coming from the fact he coached his team to a national championship in just his second season. He’s also been a part of 3 other national championship games. His successor at SCSU will do much worse. Larson will bring the long needed toughness to Minnesota.

Well said.

I’m going on record that the Gophers found there guy. He’ll be up there with Lucia, or better. The Gophers are going to play tough. Larson will make this a top 4 program. Multiple frozen fours. Probably a natty. There are valid reasons for the last couple years at SCSU. Larson is tough as nails...

Larson could end up being a great hire, it's just that it's obviously a bit of a gamble. Sounds like SCSU hockey might be on a path to being a perennial cellar dweller, not much money for the program. Who knows, they may not even be long for the NCHC. The hunch is that Larson will be better than...

1 championship game appearance in the last 11 years, I'd say that's kind of irrelevant. 2 Frozen fours in the last 11 years, I guess that's kind of relevant. But no Natty's, and really only getting close once in the last 11 years makes me say that. For Minnesota to be relevant they have to win...

A big time gamble for reasons I can't understand. But, I actually think Coyle makes good hires given his constraints, outside of the one he was forced to make with Ben Johnson.

As a Minnesotan who played hockey and has moved away from Minnesota for a while, I would honestly say Gopher hockey has become irrelevant. Also, as a Duluthian and graduate of UMD that is really too bad. I still pull for the Gophers, and appreciate their rich history and success, however the...
