If I may point out, it was the exact same story against Wisconsin last year. It certainly feels like PJ and co are determined to find ways to lose games against their supposed rivals. It's beyond tiresome.

I guess Motzko was pissed at the media after the game. Get over it. Your team of NHL draft picks can't manage to get their respective heads out of their collective asses for more than a period at a time. That's not the media or reporters' fault. That's entirely on the coaching staff and a group...

I've been told that doesn't matter. This year is all about high fives and playing with grit while holding out hope of being competitive again someday.

Depends on who you ask.

Notice I said head coaching experience, but yeah, Ben has been a career assistant at a bunch of mediocre or bad programs, so I guess he had that going for him.

There's a very good chance the Gophers could lose, which is going to be the case for virtually every game this year. It is what it is. Time for Johnson to show everyone he can rise above expectations, which are admittedly about rock bottom for his team.

They definitely have one thing in common: Both played for the Gophers and neither had any head coaching experience when Coyle hired them. Apparently, Mark's prerequisites for being a Gopher hoops coach is to have played for Minnesota and be from the state. That's about it. The only real...

Never been sold on Whalen as a coach. Honestly, she hasn't shown anything to indicate she has the chops to lead the program. Unfortunately, games like today have been par for the course under her.

Yeah, but we're going to lead the league in high fives!!

I'm still not convinced about this team. If they can prove to be more than simply cannon fodder for the truly better teams down the stretch, I might reevaluate my position. But for now, I'm taking a very wait-and-see approach.

It's endemic and became so under Lucia. Lazy, uninspired and pampered style of play. Simply put, they've been a joke for years. Games like tonight should be expected because this is what the program has become.

Lol. Gopher hockey. What a joke. Get some stones and actually learn to win. But I know I'm asking WAY too much from this program.

The exact same thing could be said of Ben Johnson until Coyle hired him. In fact, Coyle couldn't wait to hire him. So it's not at all far-fetched.

Personally, I don't blame any of this on Ben Johnson; never have. He did what people do everyday: Accepted a job he was offered. He went on an interview, was offered the job and given a huge salary. Literally happens every day in every profession. The mess that is the men's hoops program falls...

Less than a year ago, Coyle was babbling about competing for championships in men's hoops. Now we have a coach with no experience, a seriously deficient roster and a fan base close to jumping ship. Great job Gabel, Coyle and co.!!

Are we going to get game by game stats charting the number of high fives and butt slaps? Someone on the bench is clearly going to keep track, right?

Especially with apparently elite level prospects coming into the program each and every year. There is definitely something wrong with the program. Lots of supposed talent on the roster, but the team's performance borders on unwatchable at times. If folks want to give them the thumbs up for...

Rinse, repeat. The beatings continue now and most assuredly into the future...

What you just described is the definition of mediocrity. Carry on.

Again, it isn't about just today. It's about a longterm commitment to excellence. For years, the commitment to excellence was virtually nonexistent. A few good years doesn't undue years and years of mediocrity across the board. The bottom line is the athletic department is currently returning to...
