be so for real. Not calling that holding penalty

what you’re not allowed to grab and pull back a guy with your free hand to allow a rush to happen?

Game over, 3-3 OTT.  MSU wins the shootout 2-0.

Sigh.  

At least the effort was there and shootouts won’t decide a national championship. 😬

Has anyone done the math on how many total shootout goals the opponents have scored since the gophers scored their last shootout goal?

Losing the extra point helps our chances at not having to have the first round bye. 

The Gophers are playing chess and everyone else is playing checkers 😜

Took 2 of 12 points against Michigan State this year.  Congrats Bob!  Way to show them we can play with the top teams.  Pretenders this year unfortunately.  Yawn 🥱

just like DU clearly proved they were a pretender when they took 2 of 12 points against und last year. You sound like a fool when you post this stupid drivel. What is the point?

There is no reason why Pahlsson should have continued to be in the faceoff circle.  He was literally 1 for 11 before Motzko stopped using him.  Continuing to try things that don't work is something Bob badly needs to improve on.

At least we had puck possession this game and had some looks. I’m ok with this outcome all things considered from last night. State is good and the 3rd period looked like we held our own in their building. A positive move forward from last night imo.

Also, the next time we see them, and we will, they have every reason to be overconfident and we have none.

When they said the Gophers have never won a SO in the BIG, I thought they were wrong. Then I realized the game I remember was at the Minnesota DQ Cup... I think it was Seth Ambroz had the SO winner.

A lot of Motzko apologists on here.  Probably the same people who don’t think it’s the Pohlads fault the Twins suck.  Why do so many MN sports fans settle for mediocrity?  I don’t get it, but I guarantee you other markets fans don’t passively take this kind of results without demanding changes.  To each his own, but I’d rather win.  Minnesota sports fans need to start having high expectations, and maybe we’d finally win something.

As for next week, it'll be interesting to see if Huglen plays or not. Could be a minute-by-minute call.

Way better game tonight.  Need to do better on the faceoffs.  They didn’t look great this weekend moving the puck out of their defensive zone (particularly yesterday).  They need to get more scoring and scoring opportunities out of at least another forward line, 2 would be ideal.  But I was pleased with the effort that they brought today.  Sometimes it’s good to get popped in the nose every once in a while.  They have the talent to make a run, I hope they can get some great play and momentum going!  Go Gophers!

Still have high hopes for this team’s chances at a title. Nothing this weekend changes that. 

Just a win damn faceoff!

Can’t believe I’m even giving this the time of day but here we go:

1. “Settle for mediocrity”. Gophers are 3rd out of 64 D1 teams 

2. “I’d rather win”. Team is 19-6-3. 2nd most in wins in the country behind MSU who has 20

3. “Maybe we’d finally win something”. Google is free. You can see for yourself just how much MN has dominated the Big 10 since its inception.

For 3 on 3 overtime I would add a rule that if you take it back behind the center red line it's a face off in your own zone

@gopherr16 Are you for real? The Gophers are #3 in the Pairwise AFTER this weekend. Bob has coached Minnesota to 2 Region Finals and 2 Frozen Four’s over the past 4 years with an OT loss for the Natty. You must be hitting some serious stank if that’s your definition of mediocrity. Let me guess… you never played the game but ended up in Minnesota and decided to be a ‘fan?’ Feel free to grab a shovel and find a really deep ditch… it’ll do ya good 👍

I thought it was a solid bounce back game. Getting a tie was beneficial to the pairwise. I'm sure Coach Motzko is thinking a #1 seed for the NCAA's more than winning the Big Ten regular season.

Pretty sure he'd rather be playing that first weekend of the B1G tournament anyway.

@magic I would rather see the Gophers win the Conference tourney vs the Regular Season title. No one wants to sit for close to 2 weeks rolling into the NCAA’s and until the B1G adds an 8th team, that’s the ‘reward’ for winning the B1G Reg Season Title ✌️

I agree that the bye is not an advantage, but getting owned by MSU in 4 games is concerning for your chances of winning a title this season.  It shows that you aren’t a real contender who can hang with the top tier teams.
