Not trying to make a moral judgement or anything but does he really need to drive in Maple Grove to get around? Uber and Lyft aren't as cheap as they used to be but you're basically paying for $10,000 worth of DUI insurance (last I heard that's the average cost when you add it all up). No idea what public transit is like there but guessing it's an option. Ideally he gets the treatment he needs but driving is a whole separate thing especially when you have a drinking problem (most people with 4 DUI's aren't casual drinkers so I'm speculating here). Doesn't sound like anybody got hurt at least, hopefully he learns and this is the last we hear about this.
Addiction is a tough thing. I had someone in my orbit that had multiple DWI's throughout his life. He ultimately kept driving and did not have insurance. Telling someone that they no longer can drive is a very difficult thing, as it is taking away their independence, even though there are plenty of options out there like mentioned above. It amazes me when high profile people like actors, musicians or pro athletes, who can easily afford a driver gets a DWI. I hope Riddle gets the help to deal with his demons.

Part of the answer to the question raised above is that when you’re drunk you don’t think you’ll be caught. The brain will do some amazing gymnastics in that state to tell you you’re fine.
I have one buddy who got his 3rd DUI and decided to move downtown and only venture outside that area (for nightlife purposes) if someone gave him a ride. Dude is definitely an alcoholic but at least he (eventually) had the foresight to make a change. Hopefully he gets help or at the very least decides to be smarter about going out.Addiction is a tough thing. I had someone in my orbit that had multiple DWI's throughout his life.

Back to more pleasant memories, don't know if this was posted elsewhere here but it was fun to see McClanahan represent the 80 Olympics Team at the 4 Nations team meal a week ago
There's probably a better picture available; I just grabbed this from my TV
“It was a dinner to remember for the U.S. Men’s National Team tonight with U.S. general manager Bill Guerin surprising the players and staff with four special guests who shared inspiring messages for the group. The luminaries included captain Mike Eruzione and Rob McLanahan from the 1980 U.S. Olympic Team; Mike Modano, arguably the best American player of all-time; and Guy Gaudreau, father of Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau. All four offered words to the group reflecting the great opportunity to represent the country”
Rem Pitlick signs with the San Jose Barracuda on 2/5. Has played two games thus far.
It is very unusual to have seen so few recruits to the Gophers after FEBRUARY. I expected more than this by last September.
What in the actual F?
I mean they still have more going on than the Twins but they also have a bigger budget.

A friend of mine won the Faber jersey a couple months ago and finally got it back today after getting it framed.
it back today framed… Looks pretty good.
It’s not a game worn is it? I’ve seen a few auctions with Faber jerseys that are really bad knockoff maroon and gold colored. That one looks decent.

Pretty sure it’s. Though I’ve seen those jerseys also. They are mostly at silent auctions at BW3s and other restaurants/bars. This guy here, knowing him he was at well established event with the auction and won it. He also texted me shortly sending the pic today. At least 2 came into the before he could pick it up offering to buy it.

Do you know how much he paid for that?!
I’ll msg him…
My brother in law won this team poster of the 2004-2005 team (autographed) and framing in 2005 at a silent auction during a golf charity event. They gave it to me for my birthday. He paid the opening bid of $100. It’s hangs in the Gophers room at my house. Pretty sure you’re seen it. You can get good deals at silent auction if you are amongst a crowd that’s not interested in stuff you are.
I miss those team posters. Although mine all just sit rolled up in a bin somewhere. A couple were framed but I’d need to build another house to hang all the stuff I have stored away. 😂

I had five or six of those posters up in my Mankato dorm rooms. Fun conversation starter. Not sure where they wound up in the series of moves since, kind of bums me out.

I had the '96-'97 team poster and one of the players signed it with a pencil... Don't recall the player who signed it in pencil. I sold it and put up the '96-'97 unsigned poster. Kinda wished I would've kept it for conversation starter.

Slight understatement...
According to posts by Pat O'Leary and Chad Roberg Matt Leimbeck passed away...
What a gut punch. Had him in a class at the ‘U’ after I graduated (to keep my football and hockey student tickets) and he was a Fr. Just like yesterday finding out a patient that I have gotten to know, haven’t seen, passed away. Just a gut punch.

@gator A quick google search I did, shows a Matt Leimbek, from Maple Grove that passed away two days ago. A Maple Grove High School student, so not the same Matt Leimbek. Unless, coincidentally, they both passed at the same time.
@goldy-guy He lived in Maple Grove with his family.

@frozen4champs Weird There is also this out there:
Maybe he was a coach? This makes it sound like it was a player.
@goldy-guy I just hit that site and my anti virus system went crazy. I'm thinking it is click bait.

His sons both play (or played, one is a Senior this year) for Maple Grove football, so, yeah, really weird article.
The first obituary pic is Leimbek from a mile away. The second pic with glasses obituary is harder to tell. And won’t click cause of @frozen4champs response.
Still horrible news…

Not a Cooley fanboy by any means, but anytime Cooley makes headlines news makes me smile… just because it bugs some people on a Gopher Hockey rube fb account… lol!!!
Logan Cooley has special talent. Sucks he didn’t stick around for year two (making the summer decision to turn pro). Those who attempt to compare Oliver Moore to Cooley are clueless, when the only comparable is skating ability. Moore may be a first round draft pick…but if he has an NHL career similar to Blake Lizotte he will have done fine.https://twitter.com/GopherGameNotes/status/1903076334730932278

True, but Blake has had a solid NHL career to this point, and last time I checked, ya gotta perform at an NHL level to stick, no matter what round your drafted in or if your an undrafted free agent like Lizotte was. My point is (and I’m not trying to be a troll or piss anyone off with my take) is that Moore’s skill set appears to me much closer to what Lizotte brings to the table (which is solid) 374 games played, 46 goals, 78 assists, 124 points (to date) than what Cooley brings to the table (which is ELITE) and that would be fine for Moore (IMO) if that’s what he achieves down the road.Having a career like Blake Lizotte as a first round pick is probably not the hope or expectation lol.Logan Cooley has special talent.

This actually did happen when Moore was coming in. People on here were saying he could replace Cooley's production.
Seems weird to say, but Cooley seemed to be a bit underrated by this fanbase. He's one of the better Gophers I've ever seen, albeit for just one year.
