#2 Gophers @ #3 Wolverines

[Gophers1992]

Cooley took an inexcusable penalty, but has come back to create Snuggerud's goal and score one of his own. Good to see him finally break through and get one, seems like he's been snakebit much of this year.

 

[Gophers1992]

I was unsure whether Luke Mittelstadt would be ready to make an impact as a freshman, but he has been a pleasant surprise for me.

Good things happen when you take one timers. I'm so glad the Gophers finally have multiple players that can do it, mostly freshmen. Snuggerud, Cooley, and Mittelstadt there among a few others.

As annoying as it gets to hear you repeat that complaint, you are right.

 

[Gophers1992]

I have to say I thought Barto looked shaky early on but he has looked pretty smooth the last period or so.

 

[Gophers1992]

You can tell Michigan is absolutely gassed, as expected.

Is it a rule that the Michigan goalie must be called by their full name. Before it was Strauss Mann and now it’s Eric Portillo.

The TV announcers would put an asterisk behind this W for the Gophers.

But the Pairwise doesn't so you take the luck you can get and get a sweep tomorrow over a team that will roll most of their competition the rest of the year if healthy.

 

[Gophers1992]

Yeah as much as I was looking forward to watching arguably the two best teams in the country go at it, if we can get gifted a sweep that will have huge pair wise and big ten standings implications.

 

[bonin21]

No defenseman has more than 4 PIM. That is incredible. It also shows the forwards are the ones taking too many penalties, namely stick penalties and O zone penalties.

Gophs had a few out as well.

 

[PMWinSTP]

Overall nice effort.

Gophers had two out. Michigan is down way more players and talent.

The series at Mariucci will be even more intense now, especially if Nazar is back by then.

Right. Beat Michigan at Yost with a backup goaltender. I get it, but the TV guys were sure yapping about all the firepower Michigan was without.

I thought I saw something like seven total between the two teams on the broadcast?

Six for Michigan... Two for UMN.

Cooley suspended for tonights game by the B1G for his hit last night.

 

[bonin21]

Wow. Not only do the refs try to keep Michigan in games but so does the leadership of the conference which, shocker, includes Red Berenson.

Did you not think the hit was suspension worthy? It was such an unnecessary hit (push) from behind as the player had already shot the puck. His push was stupid and can’t be done. That hit / push has no place in the game.

[Gophers1992]

It was a dumb hit deserving of the 5 minutes but a suspension seems a bit much

 

[bonin21]

Michigan still without Fantilli and Hughes. They lose two more forwards after yesterday's game. They get back a D and a F.

So they again have 10 forwards listed (now including a D man and still the 3rd string goalie) and 7 D.

The Gophers again should win this game even without Cooley.

CHILL WITH THE GODDAMN COWBELL

And right back to the box.

 

[IMGopher]

M! I! N! N! E! S! O! T! A!

Minnesota!

Yaaayyyyy gophers!

Gopher goal must mean it’s time for a Michigan power play.

Maybe cow bell guy or gal can go home early now.

I am loving Nelson’s game this year.
