looked like this was the first time the new ice making equipment was turned on. The rental unit was fully disconnected. At ice level the ice quality seemed a bit better than the last several weeks.
Yes... real chillers came on this week and back to full strength. I heard that there were some complaints last week from the players.
Any of the bounces tonight were from pressing too much, especially on the PP.
Every time I say Snuggy’s in a rut he scores the next game so I’ll say it: Snuggy’s in a bit of a scoring rut right now.
Did you notice who drove the net on Pitlick's goal to create the space btw? Good sign to me.
Since when can't you lift a stick?
The Gophers look better, and yet something still seems off.
Keep it out of the hands... can't lift it when you missed and hit someone in the mask like Mitts or when you're too far behind like Pitlick.
I know that which is why I asked. ? It sure didn't look like Rhett got into the hands of the Bulldog on that play.

there are wet streaks after the zambonis are out that last for several minutes. Is it the Zamboni overlap lines or something in the ice underneath? Have noticed them all season thus far.
We've only been able to make it to the St. Thomas and Duluth games, but I noticed them at both games, and even Mrs. rowshkex noticed them last night... They seemed better last night than at the UST game. I would guess the lighting has also played a role...

ms dx and I have been thinking the same thing about the lights. Probably makes it extremely obvious whereas the overhead lights before did not
So with the new lights why while watching on tv does the ice at Mariucci have strange look to it? The ice should be white not a light gray look
Aloha!
Watching the replay Brodz put on quite the burst of speed to beat Nevers to the loose puck and score the EN goal, (Nevers also held up the Bulldog defenseman a bit once he realized Brodz would get to it 1st) lol. I haven’t followed the Dogs nearly as closely since Kobe Roth graduated & Connor Kelley transferred to Providence…but last night was a very untypical Bulldog defensive performance (execution wise). Credit to the Gophers thou, D got caught pinching creating an odd man rush on 1st goal, and 4th man in Thomas scored. Second goal Pionk blew a tire at worst possible moment & Brodz capitalized nicely. Third goal (already discussed in detail in earlier post) plus Moore can fly. On Bulldogs lone goal Loney was onside by a fraction, tBob likely would have challenged had the score been closer. I expect a much tighter defensive performance by Dogs tonight, doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll get the split, but I expect a strong response.
Bulldogs just got swept too, so I don’t know about more desperate, but Gophers certainly executed much better and controlled the play. When U lose, it’s usually not the tired excuse of “lack of effort” it’s poor execution and untimely mistakes.Gophers were the much more desperate team

I’m well aware Duluth got swept. Gophers were the much more desperate team last night and it showed. Duluth lost puck races all over the ice and didn’t even sniff a goal til the third.
Nice little slew foot by 15 on Nevers there on the empty net goal
Maybe the Gophers are just that much better than umtp? ?
Let’s prove it tonight! Safe travels for all heading north. Have fun, cheer loud, and Go Gophers!!
I guess we’ll see tonight. And Gophers snapped a losing streak vs Bulldogs last night too. ?Maybe the Gophers are just that much better than umtp? ?

Both teams are very different this year than even last year so reading too much into Lucia era stuff isn't super meaningful. It's 50/50 at worst for the Gophers tonight. UMD without James is not very good. 33 and 34 can play.
I’m not the most savvy tech guy out there, but can anyone tell me where I go to get Fox9+? I apologize if my question isn’t appropriate in this thread..

Some tv packages have it. YouTubeTV even does. Another pretty cheap option is the one-time cost of a digital antenna if you don’t already have one. It’ll be channel 9.2.

Yep, I’m referring to the present. But I mean if you want to throw numbers, all-time we have the slightest of edges at 135-85-18 (not sure if that includes last night). ?
I still remember when Duluth was a doormat.
In the first 3 games Suggy got 5 goals and 2 assists in the last 4 games 0 goals, 0 assists. I too think a really good game is coming soon.
Did Snuggy and Cooley play on the same line both seasons at the NTDP?
I don't think so. And Cooley moved up halfway through the U17 year.
Great crowd at Mariucci last night
I still remember when Duluth was a doormat.
and Sephar was a wiener (and two hundred hotdogs came flying out of the upper deck of the DECC onto the ice). ?
True…but in the last 10 years it’s:I guess we’ll see tonight. And Gophers snapped a losing streak vs Bulldogs last night too. ?Maybe the Gophers are just that much better than umtp? ?

In any event, they ARE different teams from past years & hopefully tonight’s game at Amsoil will be entertaining.
This is not quite true. When other B1G teams lose, there is a small negative effect on the SOS and therefore on the pairwise. If the Gophers lose, the effect on their pairwise is significantly worse, and has a small negative effect on the other B1G teams. The cumulative effect of all B1G Non-conference games is significant.Non conference games are huge for Pairwise implications. Sitting Close would be really silly IMO.
Yesterday was the first time back at Mariucci for a couple years. When did they stop the piped in music and have the band play virtually every stoppage in play. (My old lips were getting tired…)
I don’t remember exactly. I do know MANY people complained about the canned music and demanded the band play more. We did on the STH survey. They listened.Yesterday was the first time back at Mariucci for a couple years. When did they stop the piped in music and have the band play virtually every stoppage in play.

I have my Xfinity DVR set to record every Gopher hockey game regardless of the channel just in case. Anyways, I went to watch the game recording this morning and rather than getting the UMD at U of M game, the Miami vs SCSU game was recorded instead even though the Bulldog and Gopher logos were shown before hitting the play button. Anyone else run into this same problem? ?
@composer I think part of the issue is the single TV timeout per period and the shorter intermissions. There is just less time for music of any sort.

Looks like quite a few Gopher fans up in Duluth.

Anyone know the game tonight be on Channel 807 or 809 via Xfinity system in the west metro?
I'm 50% factual and 50% sarcastic. When you get to know me, you will know which is which.
Probably because they changed to Fox9 rather than Fox9+. On Friday I checked and they didn’t have the game changed on the listing, so I set to record whatever show was on main Fox9 and got the recording.I have my Xfinity DVR set to record every Gopher hockey game regardless of the channel just in case.

Drove up to Amsoil this afternoon & snagged a SRO ticket, all single tickets were sold. Should be a fun game. Let’s go Dogs! ??

I hope after the thirteenth gopher goal I get bored
About as good a chance at 13 goals as the Gopher football team beating a Brett Bilema coached team…remarkably that ending was brutal but not unexpected.
Same would have happened to me if I hadn't double checked right at 7pm. My guide listed the game on 9+ but it was actually on ch9.I have my Xfinity DVR set to record every Gopher hockey game regardless of the channel just in case.

Need to give UMD 3 Snuggy's tonight

I like that, but in a different sense.
"How would you rate that game"
"I'd say last night's game was 8 Snuggy's out of 10."

UMD a minute ago played a song where the lyric is "off with your head". Maybe bad timing???
I’m glad to have the game available but why does it look so bad? It’s hard to watch, like the camera is too far away from the ice.
Go Gophers!
Man, watching the NCHC.tv feed. It’s grainy, like I am watching a game on MSC with a camera that doesn’t zoom in and out.
Smith 1-0.
