The win was a'ight. I mean, we were on pace for....*does some math* *gives up*...okay a LOT of goals, but we only scored 8? What the heck? Disappointing. 😉
When you tell somebody somethin', it depends on what part of the United States you're standin' in... as to just how dumb you are.
The Gophers now have a 13 point lead over Ohio State and Penn State who are tied for 2nd place. Ohio State has 8 conference games left while the Gophers and Penn State both have 7 conference games left.
Close is 10th in goals against average and 12th in saves percentage. This is quite impressive when you consider all but 2 of the guys ahead of him have played considerably less minutes with a majority of them playing less than half their teams minutes/games.

And the 2nd line didn't even score. When are they going to start pulling their weight? We can't win in the playoffs with them playing like this. ? Top 5 worst 8-0 win ever. ?
This team is really fun to watch, it reminds me of some Gopher teams from 'back in the day'. They have swagger to them like so many Gopher teams did, that D group is so smooth, so calm with the puck. Good times...
The Badgers are now officially eliminated from B1G title contention.
Have to give the red pukes credit for hanging in there, I thought they had been eliminated in November.

The Badgers are only 8 playoff wins away from winning the national title. Which is one less than the number of conference wins they have over the last two seasons. 9 wins in 39 conference games over the last two seasons.
Yeah Closer is often the forgotten man on this team. Which is why I like to post his stats periodically (such as after 3 periods of no goals ? ) through the season to remind people.
She was at the game! I talked to her for a couple of minutes after the game.
We heard it, too. My wife said hey that sounds like the Ricola lady!

Look ahead to this week, can't overlook MSU. They're currently #13 in the PWR and just took 5 points from PSU (#3 in the PWR) before their bye, so even though we beat them up in East Lansing early last month, points probably won't come anywhere near as easily this weekend, especially when we've been playing so many close games since Christmas.
So about that...
We want to consistently bring our A game, so a huge shutout was fun to watch. Keep it going tomorrow.
Cooley now joins an exclusive club with a 9 second goal. I think Ryan Stoa still has the overall lead with 6 seconds, but he's in good company.

I'm 50% factual and 50% sarcastic. When you get to know me, you will know which is which.

I was at the Kohl Center for the Stoa goal 6 seconds into the game. It was funny seeing Badgers fans arriving to their seats near us going what happen we are already down a goal? ?

Faber would likely make a good coach someday preferably after playing 20 years for the Wild and then finally retiring due to carpal tunnel from repeatedly raising the Cup year after year.

A touchdown and two point conversion in the win against a goose egg. Vikings should take notes on how to dominate on both sides of the game. What a nice win and pure joy from the bench on a team member’s first goal.
Eager to see how tomorrow plays out considering Sparty was taken to the woodshed for 60 mins.
I’d like to see the chemistry that Kurth seemed to have with Huglen & Pitlick tonight, carry over to tomorrow too - hopefully it wasn’t just a one time thing & is here to stay.
Will be interesting to see how MSU plays Sat night. They’ve been fading and chances are it will continue. That was as demoralizing a loss as you’ll see but if they can shake it off and somehow win it would turn their season around and be huge for their pairwise.

Did Jess ask the MSU coach the same thing? St Cyr is two inches shorter than Close
Bob say anything about the Pitlick drop pass? Pat was NOT AT ALL pleased about it on the radio call and called it bush league
Sorry what is this all about?
Pitlick had a breakaway and tried the stick between his legs trick shot move and almost pulled it off. MN was up by at least 6-7 at the time IIRC.
