It’s BADger week, so of course we are going to have Todd Milewski on from the Wisconsin State Journal! We covered the terrible weekend in East Lancing against Michigan State. Is that rock bottom? Hope so! Beyond that, we get in to how much better Wisconsin is playing these days, will it be enough to get in the the NCAA Tournament? What happens between Minnesota and Wisconsin this weekend? We cover all of it!
As part of the Hockey Day Minnesota festivities, a lot of former college hockey legends played in the Gopher Alumni Stars vs the Collegiate Alumni Stars game in Shakopee!
A big series with Michigan State also means we need a big guest to cover all of it. So former Gopher and current TV & Radio analyst Pat Micheletti is on the show to cover all of it. We get deep in to the 4 points against Notre Dame. Penalty kill issues. Goaltending. And what Minnesota needs to do this weekend against MSU.
Former Gopher Jack Ramsey was back with us for the first time in a year! He helped us recap the OSU weekend and preview the home series with Notre Dame. He may have some answers to help the Gopher power play too!
We are back from our winter break to kick off the 2nd half of the season with BTN analyst and former Buckeye Paul Caponigri! We covered the MSU series from December. The Mercyhurst sweep. The World Junior’s Gold Medal for Team USA! And of course the resurgent Ohio State Buckeyes.
Former Gopher hockey player, Steve Johnson, recently had a liver transplant after the Mayo Clinic discovered that he had an “autoimmune condition that is attacking his liver”. Johnson who was a Gopher from 2014 – 2018 just received a liver transplant last week and needs all of our help to pay for his medical bills!
Former Gopher goalie Eric Schierhorn is back on the show at the perfect time! Right after Minnesota pulls a double shutout SWEEP of the Wolverines of Michigan. But the injuries are stacking up right before the winter break as Minnesota faces #3 Michigan State just as the Gophers take over the #1 spot MSU just occupied.
