think much of this depends how much they lose to the NHL this offseason but they certainly look like they will have a ton of talent again.

Eiserman and Yegorov will be back
+ Boisvert will take a huge step and be dominant
+ Hudson will be back one more year and dominant
+ whatever they add from transfer/CHL
+ great recruiting class

for sure. if they're all back that team on paper is better than BCs last year and has a bigger slew of high end talent than our 22-23 team
 

With Fowler gone you've got another top program (plus UND and UM) looking for a starting goalie. Good luck Bob.

but that ignores the big "-" who is in charge. Motzko builds good rosters, and turtles when it matters. That was his MO at Jan Brady U, it is still his MO today.

You mean like Greg Brown who has also never won a title and got smoked by carle in game strategy by an inferior team talent wise both years
 


From GPL, where many are delusional, below lineup is BRUTAL!

Hendrickson-Ludtke-Ziemer
Mooney-Clark-Lamb
Townsend-Pahlsson-Kvasnicka?
Falloon-Mittelstadt-Moore

Mittelstadt-Gruba
Thomas-Rombach
Phillips-Whipple

Airey
DiPasquo?
Wiese
 

DiPasquo is official. :rolleyes:

Enjoy another year held back by mediocre goaltending

It’s probably one of the heavier d cores I’ve ever seen us have but will struggle to score. Idk if I’d go all the way so far as BRUTAL, but it’s a big step back in talent and overall might be the first time in a very long time we’ve ever had no one that’s a 1 or 2 year player on the roster

This is part of why I was saying before will be curious to see if we’re changing stylistically or not

I mean he's the backup to a top 3ish goalie in the country. Probably starts for a lot of teams last year.

You can have your opinion but don't be disingenuous with your arguments.

Probably, but completely hypotethical. Maybe instead you, I don't know, find a good goalie that was a starter. CHL or NCAA (since he doesn't know how to recruit USHL goalies)

I mean the consensus from neutral fans seems to be that this was a good get, so this seems like a weird hill for you to die on, but I shouldn't be surprised.

GPL? Are you referring to the Gopher Hockey board filled with passionate, knowledgeable fans that kicked your a$$ to the curb for being an insufferable hater?

Nobody can ever convince me that you're not actually a trolling Sue fan.
 

Barring Michael Misa, that lineup is not going to win a title and that's why it's annoying. Already looking two years out at a minimum (hopefully with a new coach). 2003 to at least 2027.

Let's see where things end up for a final roster before we declare that.
 



amazing how much different the transfer portal is in hockey vs football or basketball. there's just so little info until a guy commits essentially. only seen the ralph news on sioux sports (apparently some there thought he would be UND bound). curious if we're trying to pull in defenders (i would really hope so).
Pairings right now really don't look super exciting to provide much in the offensive end and is a very large experience drop off after Thomas-Mittelstadt. Would like to see them add another guy on the back end with 1-2 years left to balance the classes a bit (Gadowsky, Wallberg, Gratton, Dubinsky would each be reasonable imo)
 

Gadowsky the last remaining hope for a big impact from those currently in portal
 

7-0, 1.70 gaa, .933 save percentage this past season and bonin doesn’t like it because he’s an undrafted backup. So short sighted. Maybe MSU had two really good goalies on their roster. Not unheard of. And just because he was stuck behind arguably the best goalie in the country doesn’t mean he can’t be great himself.
 

Check his stats in Big Ten games. Small sample size issue both ways. Seems like he did well against WMU but otherwise not much to read into. We don't need could be great. We need a closer to sure thing.
 

Gophers could sign Patrick Roy in his prime and Bonin would still complain.
 

God forbid the Gophers have an NHL goalie (other than a goalie that got two games literally only because he was the franchise's only option)

Halsey to ASU
Guessing Homer to UND and maybe then UM will take the big UNO goalie

But the problem is, if the Gophers got an NHL goalie you would then complain about something else. That is your history. You are never satisfied and as someone else pointed out, I question if you are really a Gopher fan.

He is a gopher fan, he just uses the internet to project his incredible anxiety and misery on the rest of us. It’s basically a coping mechanism so he can say I told you so when we come up short.

It is exhausting and it’s unfortunate because he could be a great contributor here but has no ability for the slightest amount of objectivity. Think Paul Allen but the opposite.

If he is that good he would have left after year 1 knowing Augustine was back.

he's also from Michigan and maybe thought i really like the coach and team and will have the net for 2 years. i get you're bitter right now, but this is hardcore reaching for really no reason.
