So you can use stats to justify your opinion. But when you get pushback, it's fake news. Got it. You are always right and are smarter than any human.

You know save percentage is a better stat right?

Yegorov: .909 career. 19 years old
Airey: .899 career. 22 years old

lol , wholly shit dude he’s 1/100 better. But because he’s 19 and not 22 he’s way better. FFS you need to get a life.
 




60% of a win because they let it go to OT. I imagine that just about does it that they'll need to win the Big Ten tournament

So you think 60% of a win against the #4 team in the country hurts our tourney chances? On what planet?

If they get back to .500 to be under contention, they’ll be right on the bubble. Luckily counts for a full win there

I believe the term used by psychologists is Emotional Over-Identification. The team's performance  is personal.

It has elements of strong social identification and hierarchy, vicarious achievement, a desire for control and an affinity for drama. When viewed through this lens, the story shifts from obnoxious to sad and a bit concerning. They are probably at least partially aware of these destructive tendencies, but it's not enough to break the cycle because of the dopamine rushes they get out of it. It's too bad because they seem very knowledgeable and are clearly passionate.

Well, honestly, I think by this definition I am guilty as well.
 

Just under half of regular season done. Team still mostly sucks overall.
7-9-1 (3-3-0)

Team Rankings (out of 63 teams)
16th - Shooting percentage (up from 21st)
23rd - PP % (up from 44th)
25th - PIM/G (down from 10th)
34th - Shots against/G (down from 29th)
34th - Goals/G (up from 43rd)
41st - GA/G (down from 40th)
42nd - Save percentage (up from 50th)
55th - FO % (down from 52nd)
56th - Shots/G (down from 55th)
62nd - PK %

Still zero Gophers in the top 50 in points per game. Zero Gophers averaging a point per game.

If they split or better I will be satisfied with the trajectory. Massive step back comparatively but encouraging the small shuffles forward the last couple weeks

This weekend will be a good test on if they’ve actually learned and will be stringing games of effort together. A sweep would go a hell of a long way if they’re going to try sneak in the back door of a postseason birth without Winning the conference tourney

A split with a bad OSU team wouldn't show/tell me anything

They need a sweep. The schedule the rest of the way is extremely difficult . They can’t give any games away to OSU or ND and realistically get in the tournament hunt.

A bad OSU team that led PSU and should’ve won that game and pumped Wisconsin on the road (and lost the other game in OT) as well as a very solid UConn team on the road.

If it was at home, I’d agree with you. OSU is 0-4 in OT. They’re not bad. It is their best, easiest chance to pick up the games they need to (they have to find a way to go plus 3 starting now heading into the playoffs and win their first round series). A road split would show we they’ve at least stabilized the effort portion.

Gophers have a couple solid wins. Probably better than OSU overall. Both teams "suck" from a contender perspective. And with that, my point is my opinion of this Gopher team will not change at all with a split. It won't start to change until they put a couple sweeps on the board.
 

No Gruba this weekend so you get the completely unacceptable 5/6/7 D of McLaughlin/Rud/Begley.

And the reason you can't roll with 13 forwards instead is because your 13th F is a D3 player.
