Former OSU player Paul Caponigri made his 10th appearance on the GPL Podcast to help us preview the series with the Buckeyes. Always fun to get him worked up about the hockey facilities at “The” Ohio State… But we did talk a lot of hockey. Like the spectacular weekend of hockey we just had with North Dakota. […]
Minneapolis, MN – When you outshoot a team 41-20 in a hockey game, something weird needs to happen for your team to lose. Unfortunately for the Gophers, North Dakota brought five minutes of weird to squeak out a win. In a dominating effort, Minnesota (4-2-0) lost to North Dakota (3-2-1) by a 5-4 overtime score. The Hawks played five minutes of good hockey throughout the game, taking advantage of three penalty calls on the Gophers […]
Minneapolis, MN – When Minnesota and North Dakota get together, the intensity always seems to get turned up to 11. It’s nice when the game lives up to the bill. In front of a lively Mariucci crowd, the Minnesota Gophers (4-1-0 Overall) beat the North Dakota Fighting Hawks (2-2-1) in dramatic fashion, scoring with the goalie pulled to tie the game and then scoring again in overtime to win. Matthew Knies got the game-winner in […]
Brad Schlossman from the Grand Forks herald joined us on the podcast to preview the big series with North Dakota.

Mankato, MN – When asked about what the team took away from the game Saturday, Mason Nevers said “it’s gonna be tough to beat teams two nights in a row.” It gets easier if you don’t shoot yourselves in the foot. With a chance to make an early statement against a top-five team, the Minnesota Gophers (3-1-0 Overall) wasted golden opportunities, and Minnesota State (1-1-0) took advantage, scoring three times in the final two periods […]
Minneapolis, MN – Since the start of the 2014-2015 season, Minnesota State has had the Gophers’ number. The Gophers are 38-18-6 all time against Mankato, but since 14-15 Minnesota State has won 8 of their last 10 games against their ‘bigger brothers’, including dominating victories in the NCAA tournament to end Minnesota’s season the last two years. One way to exorcise the team’s demons: bring in a ton of freshmen who don’t have any baggage […]
Minneapolis, Minn. — When the University of Minnesota men’s hockey program decided it was time to make a change in leadership behind the bench, it wasn’t necessarily because the team was losing the majority of their games, it was because they were losing the wrong ones. The Gophers seemed to struggle on the biggest stages and the losses during the postseason and the losses to the other in-state programs were adding up. Now as Gophers […]
Always fun having former Gopher Pat Micheletti on the GPL Podcast! We recapped the Lindenwood series. He gave his thoughts on quite a few players.
