I think a team needs a diversity of age classes on the team so you don't end up losing a lot to graduation. I don't think in today's market that you can only depend on bringing in freshmen. I would never say NEVER to bringing in a one season player the caliber of Kylie Muir--an average player...

Bad management of players and fouls. I would rather lose players to fouls and maintain the lead than lose the lead and then lose players trying to catch up.

Last year, I was not enthusiastic about Battle. However, I was impressed with her play the first half of this season and was ready to nominate her for the Most Improved Gopher. However, her play has deteriorated after the Wisconsin loss. I think she is pressing and is trying to lift her game...

Gophers could be good if they didn't have to play the third period.

They are all D! athletes. My mid-major university, which has a good program, would probably be glad to pick up any of them. They also are Power5 athletes. At least a half a dozen teams in each of the Power 5 conferences would be happy to pick up our players. If you said that none of our...

SH. I appreciate you being the number one fan and organizer of a Forum for the Gopher Women's hockey team. I like your information and viewpoint. However, you paste so many large files (pictures, videos, etc.) into your posts that it takes forever to load them to see what you are thinking. It...

I think it is early to judge Coach P's results. She is playing with house money because four of her starters have been holdovers. She maybe gets points for keeping them from jumping ship although they have been vocal about their commitment to Minnesota. Coach P gets points for recruiting GG...

It is the result that we feared but hoped wouldn't happen. PSU dominated the boards in the first quarter and were too fast for the Gophers. PSU's 3-point shooting was outstanding. On the other hand, the Gopher defense was erratic. I felt like Hart and Heyer are worn down by the season. The...

It will be interesting to see what combinations that coach P uses to replace Braun. Everyone needs to step up their games. This is a good opportunity for GG to take on more responsibility and for her game to develop further.

Disappointing loss. We would like to think that we lost because Braun got hurt and the basketball gods dumped on us. However, they gave away much of their half-time lead in the third quarter and that made a big difference in the game.

Uffda. Disappointing loss. Low energy. Weak Defense. They let Wisconsin have too many open shots. Poor game plan on offense. Too much holding the ball and dribbling.

If Braun could hit short, pull up jumpers like Battle or take the ball to the rim, that would give her more space for her 3-point shots. It also would get her to the foul line more and sure points.

Excellent game and win. The Gophers played hard. Everyone contributed. A nice thing about this team is that it isn't dependent on one player. Different players step up at different times during the game and if the opponent tries to shut down one player or strategy, someone else steps up...

Memo to coach P: Don't take the team into the locker room at halftime. They leave something behind. Take them to the concession stand and get them some caffeine. Or, if you must have them in the locker room, at least play the Theme from Rocky before bringing them back.

Yesterday's game was exciting and competitive. The Gophers were rusty and had poor passing, especially in the first period. However, I felt like the Gophers had an extra gear or another level that UConn did not have. The suspense was when are they going to kick it up a notch. Great to get...

Good game. The effort was excellent and they competed well. I felt that they forgot their game plan and tried to run with Maryland, who are much better at running. Once they got out of their more deliberate game, they fell behind.

We are in an unregulated system where excellent players like Wenaas, Booth, and Landfair can choose to go to a team that has a high probability of winning a conference and national championship. In some pro sports, on the other hand, high-quality free agents cannot always go to the best team(s)...

SHGopher: I am not sure what you mean by the first time--- Next season the Gophers for the first time have Canadian players coming. Goaltender Hannah Clark and defender Gracia Graham play for Team Canada. The Gophers recently have had Amanda Leveille from Quebec and Sarah and Amy Potomak...
