***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA VS QUINNIPIAC NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHP IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[stocker08]

Sat back and let them attack all period.

 

[BTChamp]

OK, now put the foot on the gas.

 

[cheeseheadgophfan]

1 shot this period....

 

[saintpauljeff]

This goes to OT and might as well flip a coin

 

[Gold Vision]

I don’t understand sitting back for the entire period like that. Not with the firepower we have.

 

[GopherJack]

Have we won a third period faceoff?

 

[WayOfTheGopher]

Damn, I feel physically sick right now.

 

[#2Gopher]

Sat back and let them attack all period.

Unfortunately, I agree with you.

 

[STPGopher]

Got to attack now!

 

[SHGopher]

Coach Motzko going conservative most that period works if the other team doesn't score because you're not going to score either.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Had a bad feeling as soon as espn showed our 22-0-0 record after leading after 2.

 

[WindyCityGopher]

2 minutes and they couldn’t hold it. FUCK

 

[GophersInIowa]

It was only a matter of time when you play that poorly for that long. Don’t have a good feeling at all.

 

[WayOfTheGopher]

Three minutes away, man.

 

[stocker08]

I don’t understand sitting back for the entire period like that. Not with the firepower we have.

It just doesn't make sense. At all.

 

[BTChamp]

Had a bad feeling as soon as espn showed our 22-0-0 record after leading by 2.

Me too. Thanks for the jinx espn.

 

[scools12]

If the Gophers lose it will be all in Motzko for playing prevent D for a whole period.

 

[Gopherguy0723]

Motzko played not to lose. Dumb.

That power play was also brutal

 

[SHGopher]

Outshot 14-2 that period.

 

[#2Gopher]

Not feeling good about this. They clearly need to step on it now or we are going to lose. Last Penalty really hurt us. Had no business grabbing the guy in the first place.

 

[Gold Vision]

Both Quinnipiac goals were pretty soft too.

 

[DarrenTheGreek]

Q has outplayed us for 2/3 of the game.

 

[cncmin]

It was only a matter of time when you play that poorly for that long. Don’t have a good feeling at all.

sometimes a break is just what you need. Certainly playing like they did the third period is not a recipe for success.

 

[DarthGopher]

Awful effort. Quin wins this I'm afraid. We look shell shocked.

 

[GoodasGold]

Had a bad feeling as soon as espn showed our 22-0-0 record after leading by 2.

This is the Minnesota sports I know!

 

[SHGopher]

Game stats after regulation. Shots and shots on goal lopsided massively after the 3rd period. Not good.

[STPGopher]

We need Motzko to show the team he is indeed coach of the year!

Attack!!!

 

[cncmin]

Seeing that replay on the penalty, I still don’t see how that is a penalty on the Gophers, much say ONLY a penalty on the Gophers. Even if there is a penalty on the Gophers, how could there not also be one on QU, which clearly cheated in holding the stick and a totaltakedown of our player. Even in a delayed penalty situation, you can’t do that! That was a game changing call. Refs matter.

 

[cheeseheadgophfan]

Both Quinnipiac goals were pretty soft too.I

I didn't want to say it.....but I agree. Both should have been stopped.

 

[MRJ]

If Q wins it, it'll be fully and completely deserved. They've been better. By a long shot.
