2024-25 Gopher Hockey Season

Weird comment on the hockey thread where the hockey team swept
If you were looking at the timestamp, Gophers just gave up the two goal lead. So yeah, looking back it was ill-advised. I guess nothing gets past you hockey fans with your gift of foresight.
 

Bonin is a very knowledgeable and passionate gopher hockey fan and I love that. But his post last week that we were “exposed” after a road game loss where we played well and ran into a hot goalie is an example of his knee jerk irrational takes that he espouses on the regular. His takes Monday thru Thursday are typically sound. Although i definitely disagree with him that BC and DU are on another level than us. It’s November, we don’t know much yet. But his glass half empty outlook doesn’t allow him to believe we’re right there with those teams.
It is a coping mechanism for disappointment in the present and not knowing a future they desperately wish to control.

Human beings are remarkably consistent on the need for certainty in their lives, some more than others. ;)

The fact of the matter is none of us know how this will play out, but right now this is a pretty damn good hockey team with a lot of key pieces in place to win on a consistent basis. Doesn't mean they are immune to the occasional dud or getting goalied. In the two losses, they peppered the bejesus out of the goalies and got stonewalled. It happens.

Its not my job to do detailed research on stupid comments
