Bob can be very stubborn, He really wants Airey (bigger goalie) to be their #1 goalie. Souliere has clearly been the better goalie this season. 

I think it’s also that he knows he needs Airey to get time that he hasn’t had before this year if he’s going to be the guy for 2 more years after this. 

 

This is the portal era, it doesn’t have to just be Airey. 

 

I agree but that’s what you’d be hoping for. We should absolutely be taking a portal goalie either way but now it’s going to be to come in as a costarter again at least

That might be the last we see of Airey.

For the first time ever, I’ve bothered to turn down the sound and turn on Wally. I’m pretty forgiving and kind of enjoy when they say dumb shit and I get that these are student productions but that was awful, like they were trying to see how bad they could be. 

 the production has been very bad. Missed a goal, multiple missed faceoffs, just had our graphic labeled as being Wisconsin, the color guy has no idea what he’s saying. The 1980s Spartans thing had been the only entertaining part thus far 

 

It’s comical, he’s saying nonsense that is either obviously wrong or obviously obvious

Bingo. Very silly to worry about hurt feelings in the portal era.

Agree.  The kids in the broadcast booth are bad. Did you get the beginning where one of them wrote a haiku? It was beautiful.  Always prefer Wally if I can sync him to the TV. 
Now get some pucks in, Wood, Moore, Lamb?

Airey was far from perfect, but maybe win a draw and not give up 2 on 1s

Are you an Airey family member? 😅

 

I can sympathize with goalies having rough days for obvious reasons but to beat a top ranked team with one of the best goalies in the NCAA you're gonna need a better goaltending performance than this, that's just facts. 

 

I never said none of the goals weren't Airey's fault. I would say 3 were bad. It gets old when no matter how Airey plays ( he has 1 loss going into today) that he is the worst goalie in the world  or sucks. He needs to play better. No doubt.  Chesley isn't exactly playing like Bobby Orr and should get some heat too.

 

I get it, I haven't said much about Airey this year, this is a first. There's issues besides him this game but it's a fairly even game that doesn't have even goaltending, it's hard not to point out today at least.

They look better 5 on 5 than on the power play. Probably good it wasn't a 5

Koster kicks it into the crease on a deflection and they score. Yeah sometimes it just ain’t the night

Getting smoked like the fattest J that Cheech and Chong EVER smoked.

We are getting smoked on faceoffs, and getting smoked on goaltending, and getting smoked on forward play, and getting smoked on defensive play, and getting smoked on special teams, and getting smoked on speed, and getting smoked on physicality, and getting smoked on

 

I apologize but I am officially on the cliff, sorry fellow posters

I remember the days when you could sit down on a Friday night and watch a Gopher hockey game on TV.  Sure miss those days.  I'm not going to pay money for a substandard broadcast that has the quality of a high school production.

IDK what else to say other than it's a 2 game series and hopefully they redeem themselves because this game has been dogshit.

Make it 9 lol. Maybe an ass-kicking like this helps them pull their heads out of their asses, this team can certainly play a tougher more detail focused game than this.

Complaining about the tv schedule is up there with the Big mistake clowns. The Gophers hands down still have more games on tv than any other program in the country.

coming in this situation is very different. The whole team looks like complete shit tonight. Someone on this team needs to right the ship as they’re slipping into more lackadaisical play rather than tightening up.
