I think Knies has looked pretty solid - just a bit snake-bitten.

 

Cooley!!!

BU penalty!! Penalties/Power Plays are now 7 to 3. I bet BU fans are complaining about the refs penalty calls especially since we have 3 power play goals.

Nah. The ones are USCHO said all of them were legitimate, and said their penchant for taking penalties was their downfall all year. Seems like a classy bunch of fans.

They should have let Luke get an empty netter for the hat trick. ? 

Cooley is an empty netter hog. #JustKidding

I have to give refs credit. Late in the game they did not call penalties based on the scoreboard.

After the second ENG did Melrose say something like “ they better be careful.” ?  WTF?  Buch said something about “ burying” them. Is Barry losing his mind?

3 goals and 4 assists by defensemen today. Hold the 3rd highest scoring team in the country to 2 goals.

This team can beat you in MANY different ways.

Wow! I give bob credit he had them boys ready to play from the opening face off! They looked so good, winning all the loose puck races! I honestly cannot remember ever seeing a game where I said you’ve got to be kidding me so many times! Great win for them! One more fellas’!! Wow!

Apparently we would be a damn good trap team as BU had no answer once we went to that up by 2.

I don’t get why they pull him out of mothballs for the FF, do they think his name some cache? It doesn’t. Cohen saves the whole broadcast by having actual college hockey knowledge and solid analysis.

Melrose needs come back and to stick to the Mn. State Hockey Tourney... that's right up his ally. Add him to the 'All Hair Team' and make it fun. 

Keep your stick on the ice...

I know some hate Bucci, but he has knowledge also, plus he does promote the game non-stop. Get him in there.

This is what makes this team sooooooooo good they can beat you with offense and/or defense.

Barry is drunk.

Let's go gophers!

I will say he usually shows animosity towards the gophers, but I felt he was actually neutral/leaning gophers in this game.  But I digress, he was drunk! lol

Now we sit back, relax and watch a pressure free hockey game.

I think I’ll root for Michigan after hearing ESPN analysts say QU plays a lot like Mankato.  F That.  

Let’s get the two top dogs, Mano y Mano

If you asked Melrose to name 3 Gophers and 3 Terriers right at this moment, there's zero chance he could do it.

I am also fine with Bucci, he is a credible announcer that thinks that NCAA hockey is important and worthy of being televised.  That’s a win for us.

Seemed like BU didn’t scout the most important strategy to beating us: keep us off the PP.

What a third period from our squad with two huge goals from Mittelstadt!

6-2 final with absolutely none of the bounces going our way. Already looking forward to Saturday. Let’s go!

At the beginning they were doing everything right, then just like that they were losing. But they stuck with it and good things started to happen. Happy that some of the blue-collar guys got some goals tonight. 

Congrats to the guys, just one more game to go! Let's do this! Ski-U-Mah!

Bucci is awful...listening to him call a game is pure torture.  Him and Melrose I think was actually named in a UN Torture Report as cruel and unusual punishment!

I appreciate his passion, but he should stick to being in the studio he is much better there.

Man I miss Gary Thorne...

Thorne is in a class that includes him, and him only. That's just unfair to mention him.

I've been wanting to play Michigan for a NC since they beat us at Mariucci in the B1G title game.

I think that would be an entertaining game with both teams wanting to skate up and down the rink and imo are the top 2 teams in the country.

Lockdown 3d period after BU went all out in the 2d. In person, it seemed that Gophers completely controlled the 3d, but maybe BU lost steam. 

Gopher fans in full force in Tampa. Let’s go!

When is the last time you saw a team this good? This might sound like hyperbole to people but it is the best Gopher team in my time as a Gopher fan (basically the past 40 years).

I realize people will disagree especially if they lose on Saturday but winning by far the toughest conference in the county by more then 6 games is very telling.

Past National Championship teams didn't dominate the best conference like this team did.

Can't ever fault the kids effort, and he did make a handful of nice plays taking the puck to the net. But he also had a few really bad turnovers in the dzone, and flubbed quite a few plays that could've been quality chances for their line.

 

Ryan Duncan won a Hobey while being the 3rd best player on his line, so it's possible.

Now I've got 3 hours for my pulse to come back to normal. I've never seen a team play so well and have every break go against them. Good to see them perservere.

Oh, and on the second disallowed goal the camera from in front of the net clearly showed white ice between the puck and the line. Did the refs not get to see that view?

Knies played a dominant game.  BU couldn’t take the puck from him and had to over commit to defend him, I agree he isn’t 100%.  But I’ll take on Saturday what he did today.  Also hockey is sometimes a game of bounces and puck luck.  Throngs are going to change for him, I can feel it
