N Not really important. Whatever the source, if it's enough to keep every starter that you wanted to keep, it's enough. PJs tone on this is completely different than it was a year ago. That tells me he feels good about it. Plus... if he needed a lot more NIL money, why would he spin it to...

Don;t di Don't disagree. Justin was terrific and there were some defensive lapses. But the fact is that we lost that game because we did not score enough goals. Period, end of story.

I don't disagree with the lapses I guess. But if you give up only 2 goals, on your own ice, that should be a 'W.' If we think the D was the problem, it means we think we should have won that game 1-0.

Those could be fighting words for some here. There are many more kids from MN than any other state playing NCAA hockey. So we tend to be a bit biased.

I was actually more concerned about the offense. In particular, the lack of a forecheck and the lack of faceoff wins. In my opinion, this led directly to the lack of goal scoring. You aren't going to beat Michigan (or any talented team) very often if you don't score once in the first 58...

Was actually thinking the same thing today. I actually hope this happens, just to give it a true regional flavor. Not sure who 14 would be in that scenario. They could actually decide to put the 15 in there instead, in order to avoid same-conference opponents in 1st round games. Maybe RIT...

Yeah, those throws looked really good. No side arm, sling shot motion. After watching just a few of his throws, I would be willing to bet my next 10 paychecks that we will have fewer passes batted down at the line of scrimmage next year. Now... we all know that it is a lot harder to...

Agree 100%. I watched both the Denver and ND games last night. Based on that, it's hard to see them losing tonight. But it is hockey as we all know. No matter what, a Gopher win tonight is more important than the results of any other game.

You use the same circular, bizarre logic as my teenage daughter. If we went into a pizza place, and I ordered pepperoni instead of plain cheese, and she wanted plain cheese, she might say "you ripped the rug out from under me." Then when I poked fun at her for being melodramatic, she might...

"Rip the rug out from under fans." Yeah, most Gopher fans I know feel just totally betrayed and hurt. The emotional trauma from this is going to last forever. I had to go and get a therapist already, and apparently there is talk of creating special support groups to deal with this thing. I...

And I am not sure what simulation you are using. If ND gets swept by Miami, and we win BIG Tourney, you say that ND will still be ahead of us at the end? I don't see how that is possible. No matter.... let's just see how it plays out. Beat the Wolverines.

Good point.

I do yes. But it's a hardly a small piece.

Yes, I actually have run several different scenarios. Kind of pathetic, I know, but work has been slow lately. We are a virtual lock to be seeded ahead of MSU in NCAAs if we win the BIG Tourney (I am assuming regulation wins here so that could change things if OT comes into play). With that...

I personally could not care less about the spring football game. And I am a huge Gopher fan. The average fan wouldn't be able to tell you if we had one last year or not. I don't care who the coach is or what his reasons are. This is just another thing for people to get worked up about...

I think it's realistic. We have to win the BIG tourney, which is a long way from certain of course. If we do that it's almost impossible for us not to get the #5. Our pairwise winning % will certainly be better than MSU at that point, regardless of whether they beat OSU this week. We'll see...

I hope that is correct. Gophers can play with, and beat, anybody. We have seen they are capable of some really lousy periods of hockey. Still, I think you are right. If we win Saturday, we'll take the BIG tourney. Here is a little bolder prediction. If we win the BIG tourney, we'll get a...

Well, the regular season is over. To use a tired cliche, it is now a brand new season. This team, while inconsistent, has shown that it can play with the best of them. It has also shown that it's more than capable of putting up some real clunkers. It has shown tremendous improvement in the...

Agreed. That was really bad. We are not moving at all.

Just read through comments. Only on GopherHole do we get more negative posts than positive, after winning a game against a big rival 6-2. Power play was fine tonight. D was exceptional. Nelson was great and Moore just keeps getting better. My only criticism would be the giveaways...
