2024-25 Gopher Hockey Season


You're going to find that Souliere is good but not great.
I’m already well aware of that, I’ve watched him for years now. But he’s a solid veteran who gives us our best chance of winning tough road games like tonight.
 

Also win a face off once and a while.

The gophers create so many of their own problems by not winning draws.
North Dakota when they were good recruited centers that specialize in faceoffs. It pays off in big moments. Not having at least one to take the key draws is a recruiting issue.
 


If the goalie play was even good, not great, so far... this would be tie game. We might even be up by one.
Oh I know. I'm just saying don't expect Souliere to even be Close level come NCAA time. Motzko Gopher teams win despite goaltending. Never cuz of it.

Nothing coming in next year either. Moore is a decent center but to me his future is at wing. Kind of like Sammy Walker.
 




Motzko's legacy will be choking in 2023. His Gopher career is on the downturn the same way Lucia's was after 2014. The recruiting pipeline shows it. Start to keep an eye on potential coaches and get ready for couple years of a rebuild starting within five years. This roster is his last chance and they clearly don't have it.
 






Typical MN sports team. Never win anything. 20 plus years with no natty with only 60 D1 teams (30 legit maybe). 28% of all D1 hockey players are from MN and we still can’t win sh1t! Unbelievable!!

And with what a shit show the university and Dinkytown has become, parents are further directing their high end players to places like DU. Berchild for example.
 

Airey gave up 5 and Souliere 4. Where was that "best D corps" in years, maybe ever, that I hear so much about?
 













1 and 2 overall seed won't happen. Now pray for 3 or 4 but I don't see it. This is a 5 to 8 team just like last year. I'll leave the rest of the commentary this weekend to the maroon and gold glasses wearers as my analysis of this team hasn't changed in months.

St Louis chance is about 20%.

Please, please, please don't limit your commentary. I just wait with anticipation of your next post, oh wise one. What will I ever do without it? On second thought, nobody gives a damn about "your analysis."
