He did as much work as Falloon did on that back check. Just glided back and got beat to the front of the net.
2024-25 Gopher Hockey Season
- Thread starter bonin21
- Start date
How bad must all the other teams be? Lots of terrible teams apparently.
Gophers had four regulation losses all season.
That said, it wasn't a great weekend of hockey against Notre Dame. But, they outshot the Irish all weekend, territorially they were mostly better, they missed a shitload of close, outstanding chances but had pretty bad goaltending.
It'll be interesting to see how this team responds. It'll be up to them.

If Coyle does get rid of Motzko, he's gotta make it a 2 fer and take Frost with him. How the hell have our hockey programs come to this? The Gopher women now play second fiddle to Wisconsin and Ohio State in the WCHA. Aren't we the state of hockey?
Do Frost this year and Motzko next

Shaky goaltending all weekend even in the win. Airey was fighting the puck. OSU lost to Michigan in football and were pilloried locally and nationally for two weeks. The Gophers will take their hits the next three weeks. Let’s see if the team can find some resolve like the football Buckeyes. Soliere is the goalie—it was a mistake not to play him today and allow him to exorcise his yips.

I wonder if Motzko tragically losing his son has affected his overall performance as a coach?

That last line is terrifying. They got us frustrated with how hard they battled. That’s such an indictment on a team that doesn’t want to work hard. They just want to skate slalom through the neutral zone so a toe drag and score.
Do you know where your beloved BC team ranks in face-off %? 53rd in the nation, which is worse than the Gophers. So I guess they are F'd also? ( I'm sure you will come back with some cleaver response about goaltending, even though that wasn't part of your post )
Suppose you can make up for that when you are a much better hockey team...
14-3-1 in 2025
vs
10-7-2 in 2025 never stringing together even three wins in a row since early December.
BC is at full strength and got to their record with the players they have going in to the tournament. Minnesota just lost the only forward they have that can be decent at important draws in the tournament against better teams.

You are even more entertaining when you have been drinking.
