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

[DarthGopher]

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

Always, always, always tap in anything loose. Sort it out later!

 

[bonin21]

Always, always, always tap in anything loose. Sort it out later!

And just weird cuz he had the best view of it in the arena

 

[BTChamp]

Would I be greedy to ask for a few more?

Be as greedy as you want!!!!!!!!!!!!! You willed them into another one.

 

[bonin21]

The kid that took the penalty will be haunted by that for many years.

 

[Gophers1992]

They scared the crap out of me with Cooley and his wrist. I'll take it as a good sign that he's already back out there.

 

[bonin21]

I love the losers sitting behind the bench in Whioux jerseys watching the Gophers win.

I think Cooley is ok.

@Gophers1992

Let's get greedy.......

 

[SHGopher]

Now that looked crisp and fluid, that last power play goal.

I mean right before this one. LOL.

Actually both.

Maybe the last four.

 

[Gophers1992]

@Gophers1992

Let's get greedy.......

Double digits?

@Gophers1992

Ok, one more doesn't hurt.

 

[Nax5]

Is 7-2 a safe enough lead?

EDIT: 8-2 lol

 

[bonin21]

2 pt conversion is good

 

[BTChamp]

Double digits?

You might be on to something.

 

[DarthGopher]

4th line should see the ice again.

 

[Gophers1992]

I'm not going to act like I'm happy we had to sweat this out, but we won and I'm going to limit my complaints. Obviously need to bring it harder against SCSU, but I'm a big believer that every game is it's own event. 3 wins from hanging #6, let's get it boys.

 

[Lady Gopher]

Right Ben, it feels like a 41st team playing the 42nd team.

There we go boys. I'm with bonin, I need a two goal lead to be able to breathe.

R-E-L-I-E-F

Definitely cannot start like they did tonight against SCSU or it will be 4-zip before they know it.

 

[Gophers1992]

Kind of hilarious that Knies doesn't have a point tonight.

I agree. It looked like the Gophers were the Ophers for the 1st period, but turned it on later. That major power play helped to turned the game, but the effort was obvious even before that. They are pleasant to watch when they are on their game.

And yes, you are correct, they cannot start like they did tonight against SCSU.

 

[bonin21]

71 what are you doing.

 

[Gophers1992]

Dumb hit Chesley. Just be smart and go home with the win. Stay out of trouble.

 

[DarthGopher]

Does Chesley's elevator make it to the top floor???

 

[bonin21]

Kind of hilarious that Knies doesn't have a point tonight.

He has quite a few points less than his lineys. It happens a decent amount

 

[WayOfTheGopher]

It took some time and an overly aggressive hit to shock the Gophers back to life. Canisius was overmatched on paper and on the ice, now let's see how they fare against SCSU.

 

[DarrenTheGreek]

9......it's like my score on a par 5

 

[bonin21]

9-2 matches the 03 Mercyhurst first round

 

[Gopherguy0723]

Hat trick!

 

[Gophers1992]

Motzko came in here with a reputation for NCAA collapses, but he's 3-0 in first round games with the gophers.

 

[DarthGopher]

9......it's like my score on a par 5

Damn. You're pretty good!
