The Gopher season ended with a big THUD as they were eliminated in the 1st game of the NCAA Tournament. What went wrong? Blame the refs? It is not that simple. 6 underclassmen players have left to sign pro contracts. 5 players have graduated. There are a lot of spots on the roster for next season. Portal add. New recruits. So much to talk about on the fina show of the season.
Former Gopher Mike Carman joined the show as we previewed the NCAA Tournament regionals coming up this weekend. The big guns need to show up if the Gophers are going to advance to the Frozen Four. We cover that as well as the small things that are important to make that happen.
The Gophers not only get knocked out of the Big Ten playoffs by Notre Dame. They lose Senior Aaron Huglen for the season to a broken leg in the process. We have Pat Micheletti on to vent all of our frustrations on this weeks show.
Minnesota will need to make a run in the NCAA Tournament without Senior center Aaron Huglen. Per a College Hockey News report, “Minnesota forward Aaron Huglen will miss the NCAA Tournament, after suffering an injury in last weekend’s game against Notre Dame.”
The Gophers earn a share of the Big Ten Title, but also will not have to sit idol this week and will face Notre Dame at 3M Arena at Mariucci this weekend. We cover the 4 out of 6 points they earned at Penn State and also previewed the rest of the Big Ten Tournament as well.
A big sweep at home over Ohio State sets up and even bigger weekend at Penn State with a small 2pt lead over Michigan State for the Big Ten Title!
We did this show from a fish house on Fish Lake in Maple Grove for the Fiber to the Fish House event by Gateway Fiber and Pulltab Sports! BTN’s Paul Caponigri was our guest to help us preview the big weekend with Ohio State.
