Rems goals are the first by a Motzko era player are they not? Pitlick, Novak and Ranta the only players to play in the big leagues right

Of the 3, Ranta was recruited by tBob, while Novak & Pitlick were Lucia recruits, true they all spent time playing for Motzko.

Fasching given a shot by the Yotes tonight. I always wondered why he didn’t catch on in the NHL it seems like his play style would be very translatable. I loved him here anyway!

Mittelstadt to return to the lineup after being injured in the first game. Some people like to turn their shoulders to the one and dones but I’d like to see him succeed.

I have a few former Gopher players jerseys from their pro teams and Wheeler is one of them. It is also hard to believe he has only missed 18 games in his career. Also, the Jets gave Blake's kids mini silver sticks in honor of his 1000th game. That was cool.

Quote:
Here’s a guy that reached the 1,000-game mark having missed only 18 games (he was ineligible to play a full 82-game schedule during the 2010-11 season after being traded from Boston to Atlanta).

Only seven of those games missed came before the start of last season, and three of them were nights off as he was rested prior to the playoffs. That’s just 15 games missed due to injury and illness during his 14-year career to date, including 11 over of the past two seasons (six with a concussion in 2020-21, and five more this season due to COVID protocol.)

Heck of a career. Maybe Knies can finally be the next Wheeler/Kessel.

D is in good hands with Lindgren/Skjei/Faber.

If Mittlestadt can stick around he could do it, he’s already at 158 games at a very young age. That said he needs to make some serious strides in his game.

I like his odds. I think Johnson will stick around in the league for awhile too.

How close are Haula/Schmidt?

Goli has had quite a fruitful career as well, highlighted by a Stanley Cup.

It's way early but Sampo could have himself a career, Bjugstad is already at 500, like him or not EJ is 800 as is Leddy, Lindgren has 134 since 2019-20, Skjei is at 389 most of those since 2017, and is Rem picking up steam or is this season a mirage? Not predicting 1,000 per se but that's some solid representation.

I'm not just talking about games I'm talking about production for the forwards. Having stars helps keep the college's name in the minds of the young players coming up, the best of which will become stars.

CM back on IR after 3 games. Some hope it is just a scar tear issue, but must likely a re-injury of what kept him out earlier. Others speculate that if he stayed in school he would have avoided this injury Wink

Blake Wheeler suffers what appeared to be a knee injury last night. The durable Wheeler will be out a while.

This paragraph from the above article would lead one to believe the Gophers are skating on a auxiliary rink at target field this weekend. That’s not the case, is it?

“The 2022 Discover NHL Winter Classic at Target Field in Minneapolis on Jan. 1 will not just be an outdoor game between the Minnesota Wild and St. Louis Blues, it will also be a celebration of the "State of Hockey." Part of that celebration will include various hockey teams and clubs throughout Minnesota skating on one of several auxiliary rinks at Target Field. NHL.com is profiling each of the teams. Today, the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers.”

From tonights Rink Live story.

Quote:
Bjugstad and Wild defenseman Alex Goligoski will be the two former Gophers on the ice for the Wild, but there will be a distinct maroon and gold feel to the game, which will be played at Target Field on Saturday night, Jan. 1. A video from former Gopher forward Kyle Okposo about learning to love outdoor hockey on the neighborhood rinks in St. Paul will play on the big screen at some point. And one of the smaller pond hockey rinks in what is normally the baseball field’s outfield will feature a handful of current Gophers on skates before the game.

For Gophers co-captain Sammy Walker, it will be a throwback to his childhood in Edina, to Saturday mornings when their father would drive Sammy and his two older brothers around in full gear until they found a park with a pick-up game underway, and they would skate outside for hours.

“We’re going to be skating during pregame and in the first period,” Walker said of their role during the Winter Classic, which was originally scheduled for New Year’s Day 2021 but was delayed 12 months due to the pandemic. With temperatures expected to be below zero at game time, Walker and the other Gophers are planning to dress appropriately.
