I get embarrassed for people when I see them wearing fanny packs, crocs, zubaz, or uggs.

 

So it is good I have Fri tix and not Sat.  That would be a nightmare for me.

Fanny packs, crocs and zubaz don’t both me.Own a fanny pack, won’t wear crocs and would like a pair of Gopher zubaz to wear around the house. 
Though no one after 25 should wear uggs.

I have a pair of insulated crocs to wear around the house as slippers. Best pair of slippers you will buy.

I am sure others have used this as well, but my brother calls him Potluck, and I like it and use it all the time!

I wear my son's insulated crocs when I'm using the Blackstone or tending to my smoker/grill.  Not gonna lie, they are lowkey comfortable and keep my feet warmer than slides would.

A bunch of us call him potluck too - which morphed into jello salad (because a friend said, what do you bring to a potluck?!)

So now we just call him jello salad and when he scores said friend texts us pictures of nasty jello salad. 😂

Maybe this is why Pitlick missed some playing time yesterday. Coach was worried about receiving pictures like this if he scored. 🤨 😉

On Bob's radio show--

He really praised Thomas for his play this weekend. Some of his play reminds him of Faber as a young player.  Also, really happy with Chesley.

Not set in stone if he will go with 12 F and 7 D or 13 & 6.

His goal every year is to win the season series against each B1G team. 

Said he expects Pino to be on the top line and PP unit this weekend ( Just Kidding )

Are you trying to crash GPL with the number of posts this would cause? 🤣 

The defense men are definitely improving which was always going to be a key to this season.

This year 4 of our 5 top D men are under class men.

If the top 5 all come back next season the set of defense men next year could be as good and maybe even better overall then last year's group.

Next year could be

Koster - 5th senior

Chelsey - Junior

Thomas - Junior

Lute Mitts - Junior

Rinzel - Sophomore

Even having 4 of the 5 back next season would create a huge bump in top upper class men D. Chelsey, Thomas, and Luke Mitts becoming upper class men next season will be big.

You got my heart rate up with that last sentence 😂.

Thomas reminds me more of Skjei than Faber. Obviously not as good as Brady but they’re both efficient defensive defensemen that can be counted on to make the simple pass and shut down offense off the rush.

I am sure others did this as well, but I went in to the CHN PW predictor and switched just the Friday night result against MSU and it flipped their positions.  Not trying to state the obvious, but I hope that brutal third period doesn't haunt them later this spring.

It would be a nice deep Corp, but I wouldn't go that far.  Last year was maybe the best D Corp I can recall watching for the Gophs, or maybe even in NCAA. (Granted I don't have the greatest memory.) But I feel like that was maybe even better than Leopold's senior year. (Any others I am forgetting - post 1979 for me.) And as good as the freshman look like they could be, they will still be freshman. But even if they are just close to last year's D, I would expect it to be one of the best D corps in college.

Like most Gopher fans, Scott Powers who is the Athletic's  Blackhawks beat writer,  expects Moore back with the Gophers for year 2.

I don’t believe Moore’s recent offensive output changes how quickly he turns pro. The Blackhawks are assuming he’ll return for his second season with Minnesota. He is a candidate to turn pro at the end of next college season, burn the first year of his contract and immediately play in the NHL.

Snuggy sits at #2 in the fan voting. The fan vote leader, who I never heard of before, is a goalie at St Lawrence who is 8-12-3 with a 2.51 GAA.  Obviously some sort of get out the vote going on here.

Nice article on Oliver. He really has risen his game to another level, not just a cliche. He has been a total difference maker on that top line.

2 wins against Penn State next weekend and all of a sudden we’re 18-7-5 and likely top 8 in the pairwise.
