Gopher Hockey Season Thread 25-26

Good thing is you said you are taking this year off from Gopher hockey. Your quote was: ( I'm just gonna wait this year out, try to sell my FF tickets to at least break even, and hope the new era starts next spring.)
So, if you are a man of your word see you next year.

Wait the year out doesn't mean not watch the games on TV. It just means I know it's not a title season whereas for the last four or five they have been contenders and in with a chance.

Glad to know that you already know who the winner is, the seasons first game hasn’t even been played yet. Any of a number of teams can win it. At this time Minnesota has just as good a chance as anyone. Your such a pessimist it’s ridiculous.

They do not have as good of a chance as anyone. That's not how life works lol.

Motzko names three captains with a C. Didn't learn from last year that if everyone has a C, no one is the captain.

Does anyone have a list of how many 1st round draft picks have been on the last few champs?

Tufte (UMD) and Buium (DU) are the only ones in like the last 8 years or so. You then have boeser and schmaltz (think he was a 1st rounder) from unds title

Michigan (and BC) of course have won 5 or so preseason titles in the last few years so depends on whether you believe in real titles or bonins preseason anointing

Different ballgame now that more first round picks are able to come down. More teams with first rounders will win titles.
