The Gophers are closing in on being shut down for 4 straight periods of hockey from two sub par teams. 10 straight years now of under achievement in the big tourney. Maybe when they bow out early the U of M will cut Lucia's ties too.
I am sick of this team not showing up when the tourney starts. Over rated bunch of bums with an extremely over paid coach. Fire Lucia and get a coach that actually cares about Minnesota hockey. How can you not get fired up for this? Gopher puck live is where all the posters are today but the site is REAL SLOW......bogged down. I can't even log in. I had to laugh because one gopher fan posted the truth. The big players will wrap themselves in bubble wrap because they don't want to get hurt for their NHL career.
slow to the puck,sloppy passing, fanning on pucks......these guys are in a total funk. Did they even practice this past week? Must of studied film of the CC loss last week and are trying to outdo themselves.
2-0..........these guys have totally packed it in for the season. FIRE LUCIA immediately after the game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don has never been a good motivator. Even in the title years, always got the feeling it really bothered the guys to lose. Haven't seen a team with that mindset since then.
Gopher teams in recent years have only played hard when they felt like it. Hard to imagine, but I'm not surprised these guys are playing like it really doesn't matter to them. It's been a consistent theme of teams under Lucia's watch.
