@north45 agreed. But hearing Snuggy Sr. Stories was worth it.
Hard work will beat talent, if talent doesn't work hard.
With Michigan State losing to Michigan in OT tonight the Gophers have taken over 1st place in the Big Ten.
The Gophers are now Pairwise #3. Maine lost at home tonight.
The Gophers are 19-4-2 (10-2-1 in the Big Ten)
They have the best Pairwise record (80 %). Michigan State is the only other team in the country over 76% at 18-3-2 with 3 of their wins being in 3 on 3 OTs (2/3 of a win).
To be in 1st place in the Big Ten the best conference in the country (best non conference winning % again this season) along with having the best Pairwise record through 25 games with all the injuries the team has had this season is pretty amazing.

Did the NC$$ change the rule regarding goals on a delayed penalty? I admit I haven't paid attention to the rule changes lately, but the last I knew, a goal scored on a delayed penalty didn't negate the penalty. I ask becuase right before Thomas scored, there was a delayed penalty on ND, but no penalty was announced (or served, for that matter).

yep
That was one of the worst rules. It actually encouraged someone to murder/death/kill to prevent a goal, then serve the 2 minutes. If one half-arsed it, goal AND PK. Not good.
When you tell somebody somethin', it depends on what part of the United States you're standin' in... as to just how dumb you are.
Huh?
I liked it. Was basically extra power play time. Don’t be dumbass and take penalties. 🤷♀️
I didn't like the double penalty, basically.
Ok, you broke the rules, do your time.
Oh, the other team scored, thereby negating the penalty? NOT ANYMORE!
Double jeopardy. Didn't like it.

Yeah I never liked it either...made zero sense.
A lot of people cite efforts to increase scoring as an argument for it, but in my opinion it didn’t fit. They wanted games to have more scoring, not make it easier to thump someone. I bet it didn’t really increase scoring regardless, but instead increased PIMs due to frustration.
I'm just shocked that they did not look at it for a 5

Yes, that was the odd part of that play.I'm just shocked that they did not look at it for a 5
And they never replayed it on tv so we could get a better look at it.

agreed 100%. Thought it looked like one live and very surprised they didn’t even review it

Here is the play in question. The camera angle isn't the best as it is the wide shot. The way they look at majors, it was strange for them not to at least take a look. I'm not saying it was a 5, but was borderline.

Watched on B1G+ after I got home last night. Probably marginal for a 5, and not upset that they didn't call it a 5, but slightly upset and very surprised that that didn't even look at it.

As it became apparent there would not be a review I thought Bob might challenge the play. Assuming he could. 🤔

Last couple games, the Gophers have looked like a team focused on a return to the FF and bringing home #6 to Dinkytown. Good vibes, keeping it simple, solid play in the net. First team to 20 W's if they can keep it up this evening!
He took quite a while sending the players out for the faceoff, I'm presuming that he was waiting for word from the video team to see if he should challenge.Watched on B1G+ after I got home last night.

Still not happy that the refs didn't look at it themselves, they huddled up, that kind of hit into the wall should be an automatic review. Given the specifics of that hit, I'm not complaining about the lack of a penalty, because I think 2 minutes was very likely the right call, but, with the emphasis that they have on those kinds of hits, how do you not even take a look?
I accidentally recorded the SD fox 9 channel yesterday for the game, I kinda wonder how many standard definition TVs even exist anymore 😂. I’m sure they do but it’s kinda funny to think about.

Did Clark get banged up on the hit into the boards last night, or is he just odd man out to get Falloon in the lineup?
We got Woodd yes we ddo.

Wouldn't be that crazy for him to be the odd man out considering his lack of production lately.

Yea, I was wondering that. Night off to reset and get Falloon back up and running. Clark will still be pivotal down the stretch.

He’s been playing hard and had chances, my guess is banged up.

Liked that 4th line last night.
Is anyone else's TV have the Gophers playing in slow motion to start the game?

Not that I saw...
Well except the team in their own end. Good lord the Gophers are just playing lazy trying to clear the zone.
Snuggy just went by everyone to score a great goal to tie it at 1!
Snuggy puts the Notre Dame defender in the spin cycle and then puts a sweet move on the goalie.
1-1
Gophs are trying too many long passes and lazy plays in their own end. Need to play smarter in period 2.
Snuggy is tied for 1st in the country in points with 33, tied for 3rd in the country in goals with 15, and tied for 4th in the country in assists with 18.
Definitely in the running for the Hobey Baker award.
Luke M scores on a breakaway after a great pass by Pahlson!
2-2.
(I missed the ND goal)
What a goal by Luke Mitts!!!!!!! Goes top shelf on the back hand
2-2
It was set up by a sweet pass from Pahlsson
Chesley makes a dumb play giving ND a 2-1 and they retake the lead.
3-2 ND because the Gophers are playing sloppy.
Gophers standing around in their own end 4x4 then almost give up a SH goal. Then Wood misses a wide open net.
Gophers look tired and frustrated. Teams play them tight and they just don't know how to react.
Terrible second period for the Gophers. Outshot, outhustled, outscored and outplayed.
3-2 ND
Better wake up because right now Notre Dame is the better team which is ridiculous.
WOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111
3-3
Wood ties it up on a sweet play by Moore!
Gophers get a PP and just stink up the joint. Koster was a,black hole out there. Best chance came after the PP ended.
Come on guys!
Cross check to the face after the whistle
Clean play no penalty 🤣
Yeah how that wasn't called I don't know.
Are these refs Notre Dame alumni?
Danny Nelson has committed three straight penalties and none have been called. 🤨
I guess the refs are afraid to call a penalty...geez.
How many checking from behind calls are they going to ignore?
Notre Dame sleepwalks through the 3rd...refs decide they will bail them out. Off to overtime.
I’m sure the stripes will get a stern talking to about their game score and that’ll really make a big difference
Notre Dame wants to hold the puck all overtime.
3x3 sucks.
Chesley grabbed with a free hand and nd scores
