I mean odds are he can throw this stuff out and end up getting no shit from people since it’s been known that Michigan is the favorite. But it’s pretty funny he just keeps throwing out what he thinks will happen as fact on social media after he has had stuff wrong before doing that.

You should know better, Pat also said “zero chance” we fire Motzko less than a week before we did it. His finger is not enough on the pulse for someone who only speaks in absolutes. The source who told me Motzko was being fired said Pat was trying to tell him they are keeping him up to the day...

That’s dumb if true, gotta find more ways to give the fans chances to contribute to hockey specifically. Many want to do that and not Dinkytown Athletes

As a side note, if we could get that Golden Helmet collective up and running I think that would go a long way too. More average Gopher hockey fans would donate than any of those other schools.

I mean it’s known Ziemer and Mooney got huge offers from those schools. Ziemer is a preseason hobey candidate. I’d expect they are getting big pay and both will probably have big seasons. We may not have as much as those 3 schools but we can’t act like we’re helpless with money because of one...

Wheeler says about Minnesota: “sounds like they have money to spend” in his article. Michigan is the front runner but it’s hard not to look at all the different connections with him to Minnesota and not say we have a decent shot if we can fork up enough money, don’t think we’d have to...

Flohockey prospect podcast mentions to watch out for Minnesota in the Dupont sweepstakes. The interest is there, let’s hope we can rope him in

I don’t know about that. After UM I don’t think the Gophers match up worse than the other teams like last year. Even if you are one who thinks Michigan State will be a top 5 team (which I am certainly not one of those people), do you really think on paper currently that Penn State, Wisco, Ohio...

I mean it’s not a top 5 team on paper, but top 15? I’d say so. Outside the top 5ish what teams have more talent? Last year the roster was dogshit compared to this one at the start of the year. More proven players, and a better freshmen class. Center is an issue and nothing is a sure thing but...

Well, I’m saying that under the assumption that we know Smith is gonna be ready near or at the start of the season. It would be pretty tough if he was actually out for that long but nothing real has come out on it.

Stinks but If it ain’t Dupont I don’t see much of a reason to spend that much effort on defense instead of a center. Murr is not the flashy high pick but he’s already a sure fire 1D with not much risk for a team who needed one terribly. Also I’d rather have Tarin Smith for one or two years than...

Last Lucia years were brutal but yeah, say what you want about Motzko but he did get fans back in the building.

I don’t know if I’d complain about the Gopher crowd currently at all. As someone who has season tickets, it’s far and away at least the second best college crowd on a nightly basis, even in a year where we had the worst team in 50 years it was still kickin. Unfortunately the home games against...

True about UMass, they have a great recruiting class coming in. 2026 was the first year that this landscape was truly different though, so we’ll see how it transpires out there

As the conference keeps getting worse it might be harder for the Boston schools to get kids to come there if they want to play in a competitive conference. Should be interesting to see how everything looks 5 years from now.

I think with McKenna it never seemed like there was any real information that we were continually talking or that there was any interest from him. I believe the Dupont interest is true with where I heard it from, but it certainly does not mean a commitment. Just based off the moves teams have...

True, but to be honest if we landed Dupont I wouldn’t care too much about the center problem anymore. Throw Souch in there and see what happens. That would be such a huge turning point for the program to show we are fully in the mix for all the big Canadian prospects. The excitement around the...

Us and Penticton definitely have something like that going on already. Just thought it was interesting that Bode went to Everett with the Smith connection already and also Meier being a legacy guy that I’ve heard we are likely to land come August. Would be great if we can build another pipeline...

Tarin Smith: Everett —> Gophers Bode Laylin: Everett —> Gophers Henry Meier: Everett —> Gophers Landon DuPont: Everett —> Gophers

Didn’t see that Bergeson signed with Penticton today. If he puts on a show next season (which I think there’s a chance) I’m sure he’ll start thinking about playing in maroon and gold once Cullen comes calling. Pretty dang impressive what he did in Madison after his high school season ended.
