After watching this series, no doubt Lucius has talent. He does seem like he is more of an individual player with the puck and is definitely a turn over machine. He had his pocket picked multiple times near the blue line that created breakaways for the Gophers.
I was wondering about the whole Cruz Lucius thing over the last two nights as well. He looked pretty solid, but made a lot of characteristically freshman-like mistakes. I think he'll be fine.
I wonder if you remove all the other issues surrounding the Lucius clan, that Cruz may have made the choice to go Red and be a first line player as opposed to being on a team where he would have been a 3rd or 4th liner at best and taken a back seat to a lot players on the current Gopher squad?
The Cruz situation was strictly a family decision based on "circumstances" from last year. He may have started on the 3rd or 4th line, but would have had PP opportunity and next year could have played on a line with Snuggy. He would most likely developed better here. That said, the Gophers didn't need the drama involving the Lucius family. Better Dead than Red

There were Bruins (I think it was Bruins) scouts in attendance. Any idea who they were watching?
I would suspect Jaxon Nelson
Jaxon Nelson?? Luke Mittelstadt?
Agreed, he was outmatched at that position against the likes of Michigan and Mankato mostly due to the the defensive responsibilities that come with playing center. Also one good NHL debut doesn’t really mean much of anything as far as this convo is concerned.Sammy was used incorrectly by Motzko. @vegoe has been saying this all last season. He should have been at wing and not center. Look at Cruikshank, he was played at wing when he should have been at center and look how well he is doing at center for SCSU?

It was the most amazing 6 minutes of hockey during the late 1st and early second that I have ever seen. There was a game in 2003 vs Denver at Mariucci that the Gophers were down 4-1 and won 8-5. I looked it up, and the Gophers scores 4 goals in 4 minutes during that game. It was nuts.
Fun weekend of beating up the BADgers, now time to relax for a few weeks before Jan Brady.
I was at that game...craziest thing ever because the crowd went from basically quitting on the team to going batbleep crazy! That team was a trip to watch!

was particularly wonderful as the wisco fans had that scrap of cocky energy and then they just imploded.
I was talking about the Denver game in '03 😉

Quitting on the team? The crowd got quiet after being down by 2 goals early...pretty normal stuff.
