That’s EXACTLY what I was afraid of as soon as the goal was overturned. Need to get the momentum back!

Gotta love an entirely inconsequential offsides overturn followed by a tie game

 

 and by inconsequential, I mean that it was so minuscule that it in no way affected  how anyone played the play

Funnily enough I thought the Gophers actually played really well overall. They looked like the better team the majority of the period. Keep up the intensity and the goals will come. This game is very much for the taking.

Got a full on display of why hockey is the best game but also the most painful. Outplayed them all period and you don’t finish, get hit with some puck luck, and 2 moderate chances and now you’re trailing. 

agree with other in that if we play the 3rd like the 2nd, we’ll be fine

Gonna hard disagree they had enough evidence to overturn that goal.

Embarrassing effort by Lamb on Michigan’s second goal. He really should get an assist for that.

Minnesota stumbled after that goal was taken off the board. Souliere should have stopped that first goal and Rinzel more or less added a screen out front instead of covering the goal scorer on the second goal. It didn't help that Lamb had an easy chance at clearing the zone but fed the Michigan point instead.

Minnesota probably deserved better in the 2nd but in the immortal words of William Muny, "Deserve's got nothin' to do with it."

 they made the call when they looked at the overhead in the rink but yeah it was mms if he was off and idk how you could piece that given his foot is in the air as the puck touches in

I feel like we have had bad puck luck like the last 2-3 years!  Ugh!  If the y play quick, clean and with some urgency, I feel like we have a good chance at pulling this one out!

Huglen wins the draw and bang Clark puts it away.

The Gophers win face offs too. 😉

At some point this team needs to come to the realization they need to just shoot the puck on the PP. that and the zone entry is just bad bad bad.

Gophers in OT are comical and Snuggy is clueless. He does understand that 3 on 3 is about puck possession, doesn't he?

Absolutely pathetic effort on the OT. Snuggy just carelessly turns it over 3 times in one shift and then a lazy shift results in Michigan drawing the penalty. Horrible.

Michigan can have their lucky win, if Gophers play more or less like this tomorrow they'll win.

To lose like that is the only way I’m not happy about this game. Their guy holds Clark and creates a turnover then they call the penalty on us. Thats so gross

I get that Bob likes to develop guys, but at this time of year maybe keep Chesley on the bench in OT.

If they don't win a title this year I really don't see the point of bringing Motzko back. They always lose these kind of games and the recruiting class isn't that good the next 2 years. This is probably his last shot.

I don’t even understand what the “they always lose these types of games” means either. They lost on the road to a team they outplayed in OT. Oh and hey that’s a top 15 team in a rivalry game. 

and as a bonus, there’s no 3v3 in the postseason

Thought the Gophers played a solid game in general. The 3 on 3 decision making is brutal though.

I don't think Minnesota outplayed MI in OT. The Gophers maybe got to more pucks but they carelessly threw the puck away time after time. Snuggy plays OT like he doesn't understand it.

I really don't see the point that you show up after every loss and say the same thing. Obviously you don't enjoy watching Gopher Hockey. Just as well throw all of your Gopher gear in the driveway and burn them. It may make you feel better.

It’s social media… if you don’t have to put a face to the account name you can blow all the hot air you want.  Twitter is the worse… but it happens on all social media sites.

This team tries to pass the puck when skating and passing lanes are taken away. They have players who can scrum but they don't like to play that game. That's frustrating. Snuggy forcing the puck and taking dumb shots during OT was maddening.

A 15th-ranked power play and a bottom- half penalty kill could be the thing that breaks them. When they play a good tournament team, games are lost with less

sorry, should read “they outplayed, in OT” meaning the whole game but lost in OT

I get being disappointed after a loss. But the Bonin21 like over reaction is amazing. This team is not above criticism. Plenty of things to work on, like PK, PP, shootout, face-offs etc.  Plus, trying to predict on how the recruits will develop in the next 2 years is like buying a lottery ticket. Let's let the season play out and then at the end of the season we can have a discussion on what or who needs to change.

I though a key to winning championships is Special Teams. 🤔

This team tries to pass the puck when skating and passing lanes are taken away. They have players who can scrum but they don't like to play that game. That's frustrating. Snuggy forcing the puck and taking dumb shots during OT was maddening.

#12 in the country, on the road, overtime loss in a game where we outplayed them.  It's hockey. It happens.

That sounds almost rational.
