haha Bonin can be extreme and a downer for sure, but are you willing to acknowledge that he was 100% correct about the way this season would go before it even started?

I even thought this year would be a step back. It just gets old when most posts by him is either "this team sucks or fire Bob." I know that most of the games from this point out, the Gophers will be seen as underdogs. Everyone in North America knows Bonin21's views. If at the end of the year Bob or the AD thinks it is time to move on, so be it. I will support their decision and the team.

i mean last year we spent the entire year ripping snuggy, the number of captains, and that BC was going to kill everyone. this offseason it was that BU and PSU would dominate.

he will be forever unhappy until we win one. until the next year when we don't win back to back. think all vanek is saying posting the exact same thing on an anonymous message board is just annoying. There are few enough of us that actually come here and read things that one hopes you're going to maybe read something insightful or that could be discussed (which bonin is absolutely capable of as he does know hockey).

Prepare for another shit show of a weekend

tough series coming up for sure. was happy they showed some heart/fight on saturday after wanting to leave on Friday and with a 1st period saturday that felt it was going to be the same. LDP was very very good last weekend so hopefully we can somehow find him a revenge win this weekend. kids deserved it for how he's played this year behind a very very very mediocre team.

personally, think we match up better with MSU than Michigan as MSU plays a very structured/disciplined game, but don't think they have the same depth of team speed across the lineup. That said, they won't beat themselves. would view this one as more like the UND series where if we play our game and get solid tending, we can be in it at the end.

Three (3) questions for you:

1. Do you believe it takes a special kind of hockey genius to be able to look at our roster before the season and come to the conclusion that this was going to be a rough year?

2. Is there another Gopher fan that you're aware of that doesn't acknowledge a coaching change is needed and the U needs to find a way to invest more into the Gopher Hockey program?

3. Is there any other person that even remotely reaches the sheer volume of vomit-inducing negativity towards this program, good times and bad, than bonin21?

Nobody is giving Bob a free pass even after the tragic loss of his son. Bob is a good man and a good coach and despite that, anyone paying attention already knows a change is needed. This isn't a "visionary" revelation.

You don't get your a$$ booted from the most prominent Gopher Hockey fanatic message board because you're a true "fan". He's the kind of "fan" that you pray to the Gods doesn't have the seat next to you as a season ticket holder.

Oh how quickly people have come over to the Fire Motzko side after calling those of us that saw it earlier fools for trying to start the rebuild sooner. And when Barr gets hired wow will the people saying he's not the right guy be quiet again...

I think most RATIONAL fans took a wait and see stance on this year, rather than wanting him fired after week 1. You have wanted him fired since the day after the Frozen Four in Tampa, and probably a couple of years before that. Are you going to hold the next coach's feet to the fire when he doesn't get every 5 star recruit in America, Canada, or in Mn in year 1? I bet you will blame Bob for a few years. But hey, you are an elite hockey mind that knows all of the answers before the questions are asked.
 





This one is wildly frustrating as they have not been outplayed by any stretch with ample chances they can’t score on and an apparently very loose Trey Augustine glove. Score could be 2-0 the other way and it wouldn’t at all feel undeserved

I just enjoy the irony of his user name since I will assume it was chosen as some tribute to the halcyon days of Gopher Hockey where they also failed to get it done all four years he was there, Hobey Baker notwithstanding.

8-15 and an NPI of 38 with a roster that includes 13 NHL draft picks, albeit no first rounders, but these kids aren’t scrubs either. It’s much worse than a step back unfortunately.
