Gopher Hockey Season Thread 25-26

[cheeseburgerphil26]

So, at the risk of a certain poster saying something like "many people here thought the Gophers had a good chance to win the Big Ten Tournament, what a joke" let me throw this out there...

Please give me your guess on a % chance of that happening. To be clear I think we have no realistic shot at at it. But the odds are not zero. We just beat one of the top teams in the country after all.

I'd give it maybe 3%. So yes, I guess I believe we have a chance, no matter how small.

More like one in a million

2.625% Haha.

35% chance win 1st round series x 30% win 2nd round x 25% win championship game

35% chance win 1st round series x 30% win 2nd round x 25% win championship game

Even with a horrible Gopher team you saw what can happen last night in one game in today's college hockey. The first round is no longer a series.

#6 Gophers @ # 3 PSU: 37.5%
@ #2 UM: 35%
@ #1 MSU: 30%

About 4%

I'm more negative than Bonin. Haha.

Forgot that it's a 1 game 1st round.

Honestly, it's probably even a little higher. I do think there is something to a team that is do or die vs. a team that has a bid locked up. I understand playing for higher seed & such, but the sell out factor will be high for the Gophers. One thing through this down year I will say is I really don't question the effort; I think the team just isn't a good overall team.

Move me up to 5%....

Agree with the effort aspect which is also part of why you need a roster revamp as you just don’t have the horses
