Per the chat, it sounds that way. 

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.

The Gophers have 7 shots on Goal in the last 34 minutes of game time. That's not good.

Rinzel with a huge block then control and pass from his knees to spring the 2-1 break and GWG

DraftKings should start having prop bets who's going to post road game goals and scores faster, @collegehockeyaddict or @thinkbui

Wont go far in playoffs if they keep laying eggs. Yes they won but this “play defense & be patient for your offensive opportunity” doesnt work unless you are up by 2 with a few minutes left in the game. Zippo for offense. The team has to be more consistent in play. They are not.

Playing 3 on 3 doesn't benefit a team like WI because they're geared to play system hockey. Gophers, on the other hand, finally had some room to skate. Glad they cashed in early.

Does this count as a full win? Good for Pairwise, yes?

 not a full win as OT, but yes for H2H purposes

What a play by Rinzel. I want to watch that tape over and over.

Moore has been an animal since the WJC.

Counts as 2/3 of a win for the PWR, but it's a road win so there are some bonuses associated with that.

The 2nd period was UGLY but the 1st period was REALLY good and the 3rd period neither team had many chances.

Closer saved them in the 2nd period but the team grinded it out in the 3rd period to get it to OT after the Badgers tied it a minute and a half into the 3rd.

The Badgers are a really good defensive team. They lead the NCAA in goals against per game but we played two good defensive periods the first and third too (the Badgers did in the 2nd and 3rd periods).

Over the past two weekends the Gophers have now shut out Michigan State and Wisconsin (the 1st and 2nd place teams in the Big Ten) in 6 of the 9 periods all on the road.

Another game where we only gave up one goal.

This is the best I think Close has played all year.  That is the biggest positive that I took out of this game.  The gophers had a great 1st period and I believe were outplayed the last two.  I’m unsure as to what causes the mid-game apathetic nature.  Hopefully everything can get sorted out before the playoffs. Happy for a road win, let’s get one tomorrow night!

In the RPI potion of Pairwise it is 2/3 of a win and in the Head to Head portion of Pairwise it is a full win.

The Gophers going 7-1 over the last 8 games which includes wins over #4, #8, and #18 (#16 in RPI) have opened up a nice lead over St. Cloud who is #13 (the bubble).

Watch Rinzel during the OT winner celebration. Looks like no weight on 1 leg.

Saw him going through the tunnel limping but putting weight on the leg.

The Gophers now have road wins at #2 North Dakota, #4 Wisconsin, and #8 Michigan State. They have the 4th highest Quality Win Bonus. This raises your RPI which is the most important part of Pairwise.

This was the definition of taking one for the team stopping the Badger rush by taking one to the leg and then making the break out pass to set up the game winning goal.

Rinzel is our best offensive defensemen as a freshmen and he just made a HUGE defensive play. Rinzel is becoming my new favorite player. Wait till the goals starting coming. He is a BEAST!!!

Badgers scoring one goal on home ice. That's not going to get them far in the playoffs. 😉 🤣

The Gophers last eight games

Goals given up 2, 2, 1, 2, 3, 3, 1, and 1.

15 goals total - 1.88 goals per game.

That is a GREAT recipe for success in the playoffs.

Even in that scenario we’ve seen that strategy fail. I agree with you, I guess the glass half full version is that the gophers played pretty poorly for 2/3 the game and won vs an elite team.

No team looks good every period especially when playing Big Ten competition. The 3rd period neither team had many chances.

Gophers allow 1 goal to a top 5 team on the road. They also win in OT. I will take it.

Jup covered you, but it's a good way to chat about the game as it's happening, given all the streaming/viewing/listening options that not everyone has.

Or find out what's going to happen about a minute before it does since streaming/broadcast/radio delays vary. 😎

By the way the play of the game may have been the change of the penalty from a major to a minor.  It was the right call and I'm not sure the Gophers would have survived three more minutes of that assault with giving up 1-2 or more goals.
