Hmm - didn’t we try the gold out experiment previously. Give everyone a free XXL shirt, then it just might work…😁

You are such a fun spoiler. 😉 ( we will get free gold pom poms )
For whatever reason, none of the White, Maroon, or Gold outs really work for hockey. I did think the white out this year may have been the best participated one so far. I'm afraid the days of getting a free T shirt from the U is over, unless some corporation pays for them. The Fanatics store at the arena should make 5,000 cheap gold ones and sell them at cost at the game. But, again probably too much work or effort on their end. I'm fine with the U suggesting it, and really doesn't bother me if people participate or not. I'm just hope to see butts in the seats, and this weekend should be a pretty good crowd.

yes, the white out one was pretty good! as many have mentioned here however a lot of people do not have gold items in their wardrobe making it more of a challenge for sure.
but hey, a million shards of yellow plastic that won’t really add much to the color-out but will end up littering our environment seems like a typical umn idea. 👍 😬

Never seems to be a problem for football and they even have stripe outs.
Keep your stick on the ice...
Quinn Finley got banged up last weekend and Bucky played goalie roulette as well. Both teams going through similar challenges.
I think we’ll finally be healthy, hungry, angry, and ready to pound the stripes out of bucky’s popcorn box. Then they have a week off to fully rest up before going on a tear!
BETTER DEAD THAN RED!
I'm hoping we see the Gophers from earlier in the year that suffocated teams with wave after wave of forecheck. That Gophers squad seems to have only made an appearance occasionally these past few weeks and I'd like to see that team every single game, starting this Friday until we win the last game of the 24-25 season.

They're giving t-shirts to the first 1500 students. Unfortunately, they're giving out WHITE t-shirts. I think that qualifies as a marketing fail.

I just saw that email too. That is silly. Why not make it a white out. Complete marketing fail

I'm guessing it was a misprint. On Gophersports this is what is said--
FEBRUARY 1 vs. WISCONSIN | GET TICKETS
-Gold Out: Put on your best Gopher Gold and join us for the border battle series finale! All fans in attendance will receive gold pom poms, plus we have gold t-shirts for the student section

I originally posted this in the MSU/Gophers thread...
As for next week, it'll be interesting to see if Huglen plays or not. Could be a minute-by-minute call.

Call me not surprised... Bleed maroon and gold, but the U's marketing dept. couldn't think themselves out of a wet paper bag.

Welp. Last weekend was a wake up call for pretty much everyone that cares about Gopher hockey including the coaches and the team as a whole. Obviously Friday has been beat to death and Saturday got a much better result but for most of the game didn't really look too much different. Outplayed in our own end was a theme as well as whatever was happening on the dot as others have mentioned. A lot. Wisconsin is going the opposite direction as they beat Michigan and are trending up as the Gophers have struggled in every one of the last B10 series in one game or another.... or both. I also not not panicking about late January stumbles but fix it now so it doesn't become falling on your face in February which will make a bigger impact for the NCAA. This team has enough to do it all but the pieces cannot come from one player, one line, or one night. Play the same game away from the puck as you play with it and some of this will fix itself. 6x tenacity every shift, every period, every game. That will win it all.

Trying not to panic about the last month as well. Looking back, in Jan 2002 to Feb 1, team played .500 hockey including an 8-3 loss to cheeseheads. This team ends the year like that team and I'll be fine. (Although that team I felt was the most talented in the county, whereas this year's is one of the 4 most talented.)
Fanatics at the Arena has the new Gold Jerseys in stock. I also heard that Gold Country had some more come in.

Can anyone speak to the k1 replica quality? Have wanted a gold jersey for awhile
They are on par with other k1 jerseys I have purchased. Of course they don’t look exactly like the team jerseys and are a different material but are otherwise solid; they are more true to a jersey you would put equipment under so fit a little roomier than the last few jerseys from Nike that were really narrow and you had to size up to get a sweatshirt under it comfortably.
Between my wife and I, we own about 5 K1 Gopher jerseys. They fit well and have had zero issues with them. I have the Gold skating Goldy from this year by K1, although I bought mine at the bookstore and it has laces around the neck and the ones that Fanatics and Gold Country sell do not. If you do have time, you may want to call a Gold Country near you to see if they have them in stock as they will be cheaper than the Fanatics store at Mariucci.
Edit-- I agree with everything Cowgirl said.
I was recently informed by a GPLer that I'm related to Airey
The last Gopher jersey I bought was K1, and LTD Brewing (many years ago) sold K1s with the LTD logo (unfortunately, I somehow missed out on that). Quality jerseys.

Given how poor my memory is in general, it's amazing how clearly I remember the gopher team play in January 2002. It was really poor. We absolutely could not win on Friday night. I agree that the 02 team had amazing top-end talent, but this team has so much depth, and when they play together as a team can be more smothering. I worry about our goaltending, but I worried about that in 2002, too!
WAY less worried about goaltending than I am about puck possession. The team 20 years ago had OK tending and we are above that now with either guy. It is the players in front of the net that need to decide who they are going to be. Flash over substance or stand in front and fight for the goal. M State had guys that stuck with EVERY play and how many goals did we give up because of that? We have guys that can be flashy but I feel like some of these players need to realize they are at the next level and that cute toe drag through the middle is done (Wood). Get the puck. Keep the puck. Shoot the freaking puck and stand in there for any rebound. You want to be a pro player? There it is. And win a stinking face off
There will be a Frank Mazzocco Recognition during the 1st period intermission on Friday night.

Call me crazy, maybe it’s my maroon and gold tinted glasses kicking in, but I’m actually cautiously optimistic for this weekend. I know there are things that this team needs to work on but I feel like the boys will come out with the type of energy they had against Michigan. It might not always be pretty but I think they get it done this weekend.

don't think that's remotely crazy. imagine both teams should be plenty amped up this weekend. We need to get back on track and will have a bitter taste from last weekend. WI has to go at least 5-3 down the stretch here to still have a shot as an AL (because of needing to be .500). Getting swept here is going to put them close to needing to win out to have a shot outside of winning the BTT. add into it and its rivalry weekend and we should be in for some great hockey with hopefully the good guys playing 120 minutes of good hockey this weekend.
Bad gers sitting precariously at number 16 in pairwise. I'm all for more BIG10 teams in the tournament but they can win next weekend.

pass on the badgers in the tournament. more than happy to see the gophers 4 wins over them be the reason they watch from home in March and April while we hoist the trophy.
Can’t wait for this weekend! Have a good feeling about it.

They need to start doing these during the tv timeout when everyone is in their seats. Regardless, super pumped for Frank!

I had a good feeling about the MSU series so I’m done having good feelings the rest of the year😂, whatever happens happens.
I hate to be a pessimist but the stat Vegoe posted about Wisconsin being 5th in the nation in faceoffs really scares me. Hastings always has a good game plan against us.

home series makes it less an advantage. Gophs got smoked game one and won game two on the draw there and still took a pair

I saw a stat that Wisconsin has 1 regulation loss in their last 17 games. Yikes. Time to make it 3.

How limited are these jerseys? I won't make it to the game Friday (or Saturday for that matter) unfortunately, but if they won't be available past that, I would be willing to pay someone a premium to grab one for me!
I had to watch a couple times to make sure it wasn't that they were only taking calls by Mazz, but they didn't, so I'll complain. They missed:
B1G refs... corrupt, or just incompetent?

Sponsored by the former FSN, right? 😉

Not sure how many they have right now, I suspect they won't be TOO limited, just a matter of how many they ordered this time around. I'd GUESS that they'll be available more than just this weekend (the last batch lasted a few weeks) but I don't know for sure, especially with the Gold-out on Saturday.How limited are these jerseys?

I went to UMD for college in 1980 I went to the National championship game in Duluth I have HATED the Baddddgers ever since, I love it when the Gophers sweep the Baddddgers 😎
Aloha!
With MSU losing last night, great opportunity to gain 3 pts. on Sparty.
Keep your stick on the ice...
Watching that hype video made me all the more excited for this weekend!
Better dead than red - LFG Gophs!
Man if those highlights don’t fire you up for this weekend I don’t know what would! Absolutely love the calls! The passion is epic! Love it!
I was there for that Irmen penalty shot. I still remember the noise, it was visceral.
Note: Due to inflation dirty deeds will no longer be done dirt cheap.
I've been getting many well wishes from purple people here in Mankato for the team tonight vs. the red menace. Yeah...they're a little bitter yet. 🤣
I am the official Iowa Hawkeye football fan of GPL!
I think I could hear mariucci a hundred miles away! Funny how I can remember exactly where I was if I wasn’t at the game for those highlights but don’t know what I had for supper on Wednesday.

Wish I was. I believe I was at the State Cross Country meet. So watching in hotel or at Beppo!
Soulierre starting? Good to see tBob is seeing what we’re seeing.
1 hour pregame show? I don’t usually watch a lot of sports talk/pregame shows but I’m just waiting for the game to start so…sweet!
