Talked to some BC/BU fans at the games tonight. They said Matthew Wood is the real deal. “Stud” was the word used multiple times.

aren’t studs usually made out of wood? 

 

or something like that.  😬

One would expect a guy named Wood to be a stud.

But let's be honest here, once the journalists backtracked on the Gophers being the favorites to land Wood, we all know where someone from Alberta is going to end up anyways 😕 

I was actually never in doubt that we'd land him 😉 I've since gone down a bit of a Matthew Wood rabbit hole and seeing his scoring ability has already got me excited for next season and this one isn't even officially over yet!

Has the question been answered as to why someone of Wood's caliber would enroll at a lame hockey school like UConn in the first place?

Just found this interesting article. He didn't get to visit schools because of the pandemic. Then UCONN made a home visit, while everyone else was doing remote. And that seems to be what won him over.

Total guess here, but I also am not sure how many blue blood schools would bring in a 17 year old. That could have factored into it

Why is it the U of M and Denver no longer meet in a series since they are no longer in the same conference?

Well another season in the books and just like every year I can’t wait til October. This team should have offensive and defensive depth as well as high end playmakers on both sides of the puck. The only question mark for me is goaltending. I believe Nathan Airey will be a great college goalie but we have no way of knowing til we see it.

Yeah.  Long offseason but of course all good reasons for hope and excitement next year.  I will miss the steady leadership of the upperclassmen while many bashed them repeatedly, they did their job and carried us into the playoffs and did all they could possibly be expected to do in the final rounds.  The rest of the team was less than stellar.  The stars did not shine for the gophers in the last month.  Without them the big boys of the senior line did it all and hats off to them.  So sad that their season ended with their best efforts and a team behind them that just didn't materialize.  Oh well, in a one and done the team that shows up wins and that is how it goes.  Next season looks great and I cannot wait to see them get after it!

Gophers to face Denver in 2025

https://twitter.com/GopherHockey/status/1779967791937777983?t=2fezX1ob-zTqunThqAXG4g&s=19

Maybe the U wasn't supposed to release it yet? Strange.

For those who missed it. The Gophers will play Denver at Ball Arena Thanksgiving weekend in 2025 for 1 game. Its either the Ice Breaker or Hall of Fame game. I forget which. At least that is what the tweet said.

I think the U made an error in releasing early???

Then sent out an email to the media. So I tweeted it, but thought it was strange that the U didn't tweet it until 20min later or so.

That sounds awesome if it wasn't over Thanksgiving weekend.

 

I travelled to road games at Denver back in 2011 or so and it was awesome!  Would be great if Wild could schedule a game around the same time....

We love having a reason to not have to choose whose family to go to. 😂

Having the Wild out there too would be spectacular.  🤞🤞

August Falloon keeps producing. The reason I’m posting in this thread is I just don’t see a way he plays next season without injuries up front. Hope he realizes that and doesn’t hit the portal.

I don’t agree at all. I think he’ll play plenty as fourth line. Has some size that is needed and will be 20/21 year old freshman

Agree. Think he is an ideal fit for fourth line who can add some scoring punch. He can certainly move up throughout his career, but I don't see him sitting in the stands nightly.

I agree he’s an ideal 4th liner but with the depth of next years team idk how he slots in

13th forward would seem like a start.  Then let practice decide who plays?  Long ways till the season starts too.

@goldy77 

yeah I don’t see the same issue

top 6 some mix of snuggy, Moore, wood, pitlick, huglen, lamb,  maybe switch a freshman?  (?Pahlsson)

bottom 6 Clark, Hendrickson, Falloon, Ziemer, Pahlsson, ?Mittelstadt, ?Nevers

Don’t take these lines as gospel I’m literally just listing forwards.

Ziemer-Moore-Snuggerud

Pitlick-Clark-Wood

Lamb-Huglen-Kurth

Hendrickson-Pahlsson-Nevers

 

My point is where does Falloon fit in there? I’d say 13th forward but it’s likely they dress 7D most night with

Koster-Chesley

Mittelstadt-Rinzel

Thomas-Gruba

Whipple

 

So yeah I love Falloon and think he’s an ideal 4th liner but idk how he fits into it all.

I will be honest, I did not see him as the goalie Bob would bring in. Depth is good.

Good offseason for Motzko and the Gophers. I like the pickup, looks like Liam has played 84 games. If Huglen and Pitlick indeed return, I am tempted to call to call it a great offseason. Can't wait for October.

 Nice pickup on Souliere. Experienced goalie who can push Airey and likely gets more games than the average backup under tBob.

Where were you when maroon and gold was chirping?

I agree, he had a mediocre year last year, but was the reason they made the tourney the year prior.

Unfortunately it looks that way.  Didn't even start for OKC in their short NAHL playoff run.
