***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA VS CANISIUS NCAA TOURNAMENT ROUND 1 IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[Gophers1992]

Jesus, what is it with the automatic disagree with people? THey are skating faster, picked up a goal, buzzing the net. Ice is leaning Gophers way.

Oh and got another goal to take the lead.

I get it, you know a lot more than me, but why the automatic argument?

It's just frustration talking, don't take it personally. The reality is you're right and we are outplaying them. Problem is dumb mistakes are keeping this game close, when there's no reason we shouldn't be up by 5 goals right now.

 

[SHGopher]

3-2 isn't bad now. Carry the 2nd half of the 2nd period into the 3rd and the hammer comes down.

I have seen what this team can do and so far, haven't seen just about any of it. They are winning cuz of the talent gap despite the effort and mistakes.

Stated another way, you will be able to hear Motzko from multiple locker rooms down in a few minutes.

They should be able to win the third period 3-0.

 

[bonin21]

Missed the graphic, 20-0-0 leading after two? Will go check, curious how many OT.

 

[Gophers1992]

Snuggerud apparently saving all his energy for after the whistle tonight.

I know, and I agree. Thanks. They looked horrible the 1st period, but after going down a goal, they did pick it up and improve.

1st line got clicking right at the end of the 2nd period. Agree with others that we are outplaying them. BUT.. it is a one goal game and their goalie is playing well. I still don't like it. C'mon. Let's go Gophs!

 

[Gophers1992]

I know, and I agree. Thanks. They looked horrible the 1st period, but after going down a goal, they did pick it up and improve.

The second was much better than the first. I expect a dominant third.
Then again I expected a dominant first and second.

 

[DEGopherfan]

Much better second half of that period!

 

[Gophers1992]

Also I hate to be one of these types, but the fact that we have one powerplay so far is a crime. They are absolutely abusing Cooley out there.

 

[Gophers1992]

To inject some positivity in here, I really like what Huglen's line has been doing lately. They are the second line right now, not Nelson's IMO.

 

[bonin21]

Top line needs to get on the board. Cooley looking for 20th goal and Snug 50th point

 

[SHGopher]

They just showed one Gopher yawn, and then they were smoking with beers. He just yawned again.

That was a scathing joke for the 1st period and after watching the Boston hockey highlights. Gophers should be on edge that the season could end right now. Except some of them know it's not over because they are headed to the NHL.

 

[Gophers1992]

Early PP. Bury them here. Leave no doubt.

 

[bonin21]

He jumped that's 5.

 

[Gophers1992]

Jimmy!

 

[Gophers1992]

I changed my mind from earlier. 5-2 and I'll rest easy.

 

[Gopherguy0723]

Snuggy!

 

[BTChamp]

Another 1 or 2 would be nice

 

[SHGopher]

Costly shot to the head.



Score!


Score again!

 

[bonin21]

Clymer wtf are you talking with the respect thing putting out the 3rd pp unit.

 

[DarthGopher]

Let's go!!!!

[WayOfTheGopher]

Canisius fans will say that they got hosed by the refs. Gophers now opening up the flood gates.

 

[Gophers1992]

Clymer wtf are you talking with the respect thing putting out the 3rd pp unit.

Can typically just end the comment here.

 

[DarthGopher]

If he didn't leave the ice it is probably a 2 min.

 

[DarthGopher]

I'd really like to see the defense and Close to lock it down.

 

[bonin21]

Lamb why are you celebrating instead of trying to put the puck in

 

[Gophers1992]

Nostradamus

Would I be greedy to ask for a few more?

 

[DarthGopher]

Almost an identical bounce from the MSU/SCSU game and I believe on the same end of the ice. Crazy!
