Gophers head up I35 to Duluth this MEA weekend. Duluth comes off a OT loss and tie to Augie in Sioux Falls. Gophers had the off weekend to ponder their play at Tech.  Duluth swept the Gophers at Mariucci last year, while last time they played in Duluth the Gophers got the sweep.

Will Mooney be back?

Have to split bare minimum or it makes me worried for how the crowd will receive Larsons home debut

This is why getting swept by Tech was so bad, you took out all your room for error heading into the toughest part of your schedule. Split minimum.

If Mooney is back a split is doable. As bad as the Tech series was they didn't have him and probably deserved a split, move each center down a pair against a team that didn't beat Augustana and they have a better shot at splitting, even if it's at Duluth.

Think it’s one of those games, similar to the UND games, where it doesn’t much matter home or away. Both teams will be fired up. Just a matter of who plays better. Away team has swept each of the last two meetings. 

plante being out will be a big deal for a team that’s top line heavy

If Max Plante is unavailable for the Gopher series, that’s a huge blow as he made many of the key plays last year when the teams met. In any event, I expect it to be a FUN competitive series this weekend at Amsoil 🏒🥅

Umtp is attempting a maroon out on Friday.  Wear gold or white if you’re one of the good guys! 😁

UMD looks like a completely different team without Max in the lineup. If Mooney is in this weekend, split is a must. Have to take advantage of what’s in front of you. If Augie gives UMD fits, no reason this team shouldn’t be able to give them an even worse time.

Max Veech was on with Hoppy on The Sota Pod to talk about this series.  He is concerned with the Dogs like we are with the Gophers.  It will be interesting to hear more from him tonight with Jupe and Veegs on the GPL Podcast.

I hate to see guy like this out injured, it just sucks for college hockey as a whole. But better for it to happen early in the season than later. Hopefully he gets back soon.

@jupiter Them’s the breaks…with Max being unavailable to play. But who knows, maybe the two teams meet again in the postseason & if that occurs Max is hopefully healthy.

It should be a really fun weekend. The Gophers need to come out flying, on good ice we hope. A split would be great, but praying for a Gophers sweep.

Only one week until the home opener. 

Go Gophers!

Not to over interpret, but I don’t think anyone was in an injury jersey which means either they weren’t hitting or Smith was also a full go (and I think he’s in there but always hard to tell with little snippets)

Or Smith wasn’t skating because it’s a tuneup before a game

I seem to remember someone (Jup?) mentioning a trick to buying the NCHC.tv 24 hour pass just as the 1st game started, then having the browser open by the start of the next game so you would get to watch the 2nd game without paying again...  Did I make that up or can someone corroborate this (and give the details)?

This has worked in the past.  If you buy after 6pm central today, you'll still get the 6pm game tomorrow.

 

If you REALLY want to temp the fates.  Wait until 7:01pm tonight to subscribe, so you can get the Gopher-Bulldog games as well as the Michigan-Denver games

I thought Humphreys was going to be a wing, anyone have thoughts on how he played at center against MTU?

Thought he was fine. Enough speed to cover ice. Needs to improve physicality. Good passer on the breakout overall. Very much still growing into the role and not a line driver in the top 6 yet

That's a little on the defender for screening the shot with his stick, it just makes it that much more difficult to read how the shot came off the dude's stick. But from that range you kinda need to make that save regardless.
