And i mean the crowd is being pretty awesome.  I don't think it is that big of a deal.  Better than hearing about draft rights...again.

Did the Gophers hire a faceoff specialist for the team a few weeks ago?

Apparently they fired their only OT specialist for the face off specialist.

They have the puck multiple times and I'm not sure they ever got a shot off.  Moore turned it over, Chesley hot dogged a pass to himself that was turned over...just no awareness of what is going on. 

The Gophers honestly got the outcome that matched their play most of the game. 

Well win tomorrow and hope for MSU to lose I guess.

Yeah, there’s no three on three or shootouts in the postseason, but them being so terrible at both isn’t very inspiring.

After such a good start we sure turned it around. I don't like the way we play sometimes. 

Not sure how we find another gear for the playoffs.

Yup.  After about the 10 minute mark of the first the Gophs started to coast and PSU jumped all over us.  They played better most of the 2nd and 3rd and all of OT.  The Gophs looked...I dunno sick?

Not a fun performance to watch...especially for a game that mattered a lot.

I'll be at the game tomorrow. I don't think I can handle OT or a shootout. The boys gotta bounce back and take care of business in regulation.

Great game, could have went either way.  Lost on the gimmick that is OT.  Anyway, on to tomorrow.  Big Ten has 5 teams in the top 13 of the Pairwise, not too shabby.

 came back down twice on the road against a desperate team that’s going to make the postseason. We’ll be just fine. There’s no 3v3 in postseason and we outchanced them tonight. If anything, it’s our lack of high end finishing that worries me more

The fact they knew the big10 title was on the line and still could not pull out a victory is most concerning. PSU looked very good. At least their equals,which is surprising and disappointing.

We didn't look bad but we didn't look good either.  We certainly didn't look like a team poised to win the conference. 

I dunno i just don't trust this team.  I think they often play soft and passive and they do it at all the wrong times. They have the talent in spades...I just don't see the fight to go out there and just take it.  They play below their talent level as soon as they get a little frustrated and they don't have a guy like a Knies who will just out and make the team step up their game. It's weird...

 

Just win tomorrow.

 tell that to Michigan State last weekend in the same circumstance. PSU is a solid team. This is how it goes in tight games and why winning the whole thing is so special. This felt like a regional final type game. Make er neutral ice and we’re just fine.

 

 Too much doom and gloom here after that game. Disappointing for sure, but this is not cause for being despondent

Remember when Snuggs was a scorer? He doesn’t look dangerous at all and Sergeev misplayed his wide shot and tipped it in off his glove. 11 also looking ineffective. I can see the lines changing up for tomorrow. 

20 has been playing well but was even better tonight.

i mean yeah they aren’t BC. They’re going to win 3-4 tight games if they’re going to do it. It’s going to take luck and playing their A game consecutively. The only team who’s going to get away with a B type game in the postseason is BC. You’re describing the majority of the teams who have won it the last several years 

 

DU last year probably should’ve lost prior to the FF. QU should’ve lost to us. The UMass and Duluth teams were not the best. 

They’ve got the tools. They’ve lost in regulation 4 this year. Yeah they’re not we dominant as 22-23 team and may lose early, but it’s pretty rare air you roll in like that. They absolutely could’ve won tonight and 5v5 they looked better. Joy is that postseason that all you play. Purge the disaster that been us 3v3 this year and you’ll feel better

I agree entirely with this post. When I came on here two years ago and jinxed us by saying the team was going to win the whole thing, that team had a swagger- a confidence to them- that this team seems to lack. This is an excellent team, with all the tools, who certainly has one of the best chances to win it all in college hockey this year, but I expected that ‘22-‘23 to steamroll everyone, and they seemed to have the same mindset. Not sure I can say the same about this team.

That 3 on 3 just looks so uncomfortable, October I can understand but by now there should be some creativity to it. It’s like watching Buxton at the plate when he’s 0 for his last 20 and doesn’t see anything and changed his swing.

Until the 3 on 3 I thought it was a solid effort. Their speed would give anyone fits. Breakouts and puck support was better up and down and I thought we skated our ass’s off. That’s a really good team with a solid goalie. The outcome sucked but I guess I don’t see what some of the meltdowns are all about.
