Gophers need to be better but I can’t believe that the refs didn’t even take a look at that second goal for BU. There was another blatant trip on Moore coming up the ice and the refs just watched it happen. Also, Close, come on man. What are you doing? All of coaches and players talk about how he’s a rock and can shake things off. We’ve seen it ourselves. Now’s the time we need it most. Should honestly be 3-1 Gophers right now.

Close, Fish, and the 4th line are having rough games. All three have had a good season. Only down a goal, so they next goal is HUGE. I knew BU would take advantage of last change also.

BU is no joke.  At least we know we can and have scored on them in the first two periods.  I see no reason why we cannot score 2 more times and come home to X.

The question is, can we outscore THEM this period?

At the game.  We’re having moments.  Hutson is the real deal.  Even better in person.  Play heavy in their zone and we can score.

 there was nothing to look at after they didn’t call it. seems they’re not going to call anything tonight so adjust and move on I guess. They’ve been poor, but they’re not why we’re losing. 

Our best players need to be our best players. We came back on Thursday, we can again tonight. Play your best period Gophs and let the chips fall as they will

Pinoniemi doesnt stand a chance against Hutson. Crazy how Snuggerud went from our star player to a decent 2nd or 3rd line winger in a month, prove me wrong Snuggerud!

No longer benched. tBob's statement was hopefully received.

If Brodzinski doesn’t fan it’s a wide open cage.

Bryce and Nelson are the only forward to show up lately.  Sucks he missed it, but definitely without him we wouldn’t even be in this.

Sadly the difference today was Close. Credit to BU, talented team and they get their revenge.

Good season.....not great...but all year, this is as good as this team was.  Just a good team.  Not a Frozen Four team. Not a Big Ten title team.  

Some guys need to be better.

Really hard not to be bitter about the no call on the Moore trip that led to second BU goal. Trying not to dwell on it, but really bad imo.

Man. Two years in a row some weak goals let in by closer is the difference. Sucks man. 

credit to BU. They did what they had to do

 

edit. Let me stress that it sucks because I think he is one hell of a goalie. And I don’t think those define him and he doesn’t do that for most of the time he’s been here.

That's a shame but BU deserved that win. These teams are very closely matched and they won. Good luck to them in the F4.

We had a couple of key pieces that disappeared in the second half of the season for some reason. If they would have been playing like they did early in the season this would have likely been a different result.

I know we are all looking for someone to blame but we needed to play a better game to advance.

Well that hurts.  BU is a very dangerous team, they have a good shot at the championship.  Proud of Nelson and Brodz, they left everything on the ice this weekend!  Now I’m interested to see what the roster will look like for next season.

Edit.  I was reminded of the other regional loss I attended.  I had blocked it out.  
This blows chunks.

Big losses from last year with Lacombe, Faber, Knies and Cooley. Proud of this team but had too many players disappear.

next year could be rough, the returning guys are none factors mostly.  Might have to look forward to 2025-26 unfortunately
