Ahh. I keep forgetting. What a terrible time to schedule that game. I would love to make that trip again, but not over Thanksgiving. crap.That non conference schedule certainly should quiet the " cupcake " non conference talk. Also, the Denver game is Thanksgiving Weekend and is the Hall of Fame game. Either Bob misspoke or Jess misheard.

Has anyone had any trouble using the Gopher Sports App to access tickets this year? I usually use that to transfer to my Apple Wallet. Every time it just spins and spins and doesn’t load. I’ve gone through the website to get them and works fine, it’s just an annoying work around.

B1G refs... corrupt, or just incompetent?

I’ve had some trouble with app - had to transfer tickets to my seatmates on the website. Also today took a long time to load on full phone service.

Yes, same issue as you guys...
@vegoe thank you for sharing this
Shot on goal
Penn State 28-12 so 70% to 30%
Shot attempts
Penn State 52-40 so 57% to 43%
Shot attempts can be a good indication of which team has the puck more in the offensive zone. Puck possession and offensive zone time were certainly closer than the shots on goal would seem to indicate.
Only getting 30% (12 of 40) of your shot attempts on goal is really low. Obviously the team needs to be better in this area then they were Saturday. Credit to Penn State they play really well defensively in their zone. This is not something the Gophers have had an issue with in the first 7 games of the season so I see it more as blip than a problem.
Since the PSU thread is locked I thought I'd quick add on to this point CHA made, the Gophers also passed up a ton of shot opportunities from prime areas that game opting to pass instead. There were people were audibly groaning in the arena and the student section started a shoot the puck chant. Obviously these guys are all really talented players and I'm typically not one to second guess their decision making and instincts unless some egregious mistake occurs but that did seem to be an issue. I think even if they didn't pass up as many shots PSU would've still had the possession advantage but it wouldn't have been as drastic as the SOG disparity suggests.
Gopher teams have had this problem for many years. They need to learn that if they have a good look at the goal, even if they think someone else might have a bit better look... don't pass, take the shot. The value lost in making the pass (passing to the wrong spot, the puck catching something and bouncing, the teammate fumbling the pass, someone getting in the way in the meantime, etc) lowers the worth of that "better" shot so much, it's just not worth it.the Gophers also passed up a ton of shot opportunities from prime areas that game opting to pass instead.

Less Passy-Passy, more Shooty-Shooty, please.

The Gophers are currently number 5 (out of 62) in shots on goal per game and I believe they were number 1 or 2 before Saturday's game.
Two years ago they were 8th and last seasons they were 10th.
