Bemidji returns a lot and is a sleeper to win the CCHA. Honestly wouldn’t be surprised to see the Gophers drop this one lol. Seems like we always come out much more rusty than our opponents for some reason.
I think the Gophers come out on top but it might not be pretty. Shake off the rust and get ready for St. Thomas. I predict a roller coaster of a game where one moment we look like we’re flying high and the next moment we look kind of clunky but in the end it’s a 4-2 victory for the good guys. Fourth goal possibly being an ENG.
Excited to get a look at the arena. That’s my highlight for this game. Just wish valet parking wasn’t $50 a game.
Video Stream: BTN+
I keep seeing this acronym on the site and whenever I key it in it goes to B1G+.
Is there a BTN+ somewhere that I'm missing?
Thanks
Not knowing what to do, they do what they know . . .

The 26th year of the Gopher Men's Hockey Profile got to be too much for this ol' codger to handle . . . what with all of the possible activity on the transfer portal . . . . So, I'm closing it down at the 25th year . . .

It is the same thing. Both acronyms will get you to the same place.
I'm 50% factual and 50% sarcastic. When you get to know me, you will know which is which.
Sorry for beating a dead horse, we discuss this every season. But to be clear, BTN+ will get me every game? Including non conference and this exhibition game?

No. Non conference away games won't be on BTN+. The St Thomas game at the X isn't on that and the Whioux games will be on NCHC stream.
Also, games on BTN TV are not streamed if I recall. ( not 100% on this one, but last year I could not watch the Gophers when they were on BTN on my DirecTV. They make you watch it on the tv )

B1G refs... corrupt, or just incompetent?

Yikes! Ok, might have to find another way to watch the fellas this season.
It is a very confusing situation. BTN+ is still the overall best option, but this is the info from their website.
The live streams available on B1G+ feature NON-TELEVISED events produced by the Big Ten Network in partnership with the Big Ten Conference schools.
Live streaming of Televised Big Ten Network Games is available on the Fox Sports app.
In order to watch live streaming of televised games airing on Big Ten Network, FOX, or FS1 — such as Big Ten Football games — visit www.FoxSports.com or download the Fox Sports app.

I'm more confused. So did B1G+ not stream the games that were on Balley last year? trying to understand if Fox9, or whomever picks Gopher games up (I am outstate so don't get it) , does that mean they won't be streamed on BIG+? I get the B1G network, but trying to understand how many more games I would actually see by subscribing. thanks.
I didn't know.
Last year, BTN+ showed all of the games that were on Ballys. So having big ten network and BTN+ I got almost all of the games even though I didn't have Bally. The only games I didn't get that way were non-conference road games and maybe the Notre Dame road games because they were owned by peacock. Once the TV schedule is put on the gophers website, it will list which games are on BTN+ along with the station they are on.
This is how I remember it worked last year -
If it's BTN, there is no BTN+ coverage
If it was on Bally's then it was BTN+
It was on Fox Sports app, if neither of the above cases are true.
Better beat those dam Beavers 
Score prediction: 4-3 Gophers. Bemidji State is no slouch and has two players I wish were Gophers in Lleyton Roed and Eric Pohlkamp.
First unofficial goal of the season will go to Brody Lamb!
5-3. I like the prediction that Lamb gets the first one. Snuggy, Moore, and Pitlick are my picks for the other goals. I know, I’m throwing out some crazy predictions there. Chesley with the ENG to seal the game.
Would love to see Strobel rewarded with a goal early in the season.
7-3 Gophers, drop the puck.
Will Bob split goaltending duties for the exhibition game?

Yes, normally he does for exhibition games
Anyone planning to watch Michigan State vs Lake Superior State at 3:00 PM on B1G+?

Skate strong and no one getting hurt is a win tonight.
Wasn't the new ice going to be lower, with a couple of additional rows installed? From first glance, it looks as if there is just more room in front of the first row.
Maroon jerseys tonight.
They look good. It's this just an exhibition thing or did they change to dark home jerseys? Personally I wouldn't mind them going the way of the NHL on this.
As expected, they looked quite sloppy that first period. I'm sure that will change when games get important!
The B1G+ cameras were often fuzzy and choppy. Hopefully that will improve over the season.
I'm impressed with the amount of people that showed up for the game instead of watching the Vikings loss in the privacy of their own homes.
Caved & bought the BTN+ pkg this year. Excited to see Gopher Hockey back on the air. Let’s go Gophs!!

yes two extra rows on the southeast side and a row of cushiony seats on the southwest side.
ice is lower. Edit: It was shrunk both sides, there are two more rows of seats on the northeast side, they are leaving the walkway on the northwest.
I’d like to know how much a game here is… (probably not). ?
If they do not learn to stay on the main camera angle it's going to be a long year watching on TV. Hockey Broadcasting 101. Other angles are for replays.
Did we win???
Confirmed by @EricVegoe via X.
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.
Sam Rinzel #5 is playing a solid game
Gophers up 2-1 14:10 to go
They're looking much better in period 2 and 3 (except for the shorty). This is going to be a fun season!
No radio for this game?
It already appears that tonights first line has a good idea where their teammates are going to be.
3-1 Gophers #22 scores
Brodz sucks. ?
4-1 Gophers still a chance for Culvers
