My god this team looks terrible.
So gd embarrassing
Our 2 weekends so far have been a complete and utter embarrassment.
I'm downright baffled at why our pretty talented-on-paper team, with a good mix of classes and prior college hockey track record, and size/skating/draft pedigree -- they seem to have already given up on this season.
We had a worse team last year and still kept it close with Duluth in both games.
Can’t wait to hear how Pat tries to spin the positively
Our players constantly look like they are afraid of the puck whether it's when they have to hustle and beat another player to the puck or the puck is coming at them... It's baffling.
End of 2, Gophs trail 1-6.

Can’t wait for the Larson post-game.

I don't even know what Larson could do/say. Team doesn't seem to realize or care that the season started 2 weeks ago.
*string of highly charged, mainly unintelligible swearing*
at least we aren’t confused about our mascot
Quote: Rau 4 SkiUMah 2.0At this point I think Mooney can basically sit for the third. This game is already over and you need to send a message. Especially with him wearing an A. We were already on the back foot but he just sunk us.
100% Again, could have been called a 2, but it wasn’t. You Can’t do that right after your goalie stops 🐶 2nd breakaway attempt early in the 2nd period
Not that it matters tonight, but I'm confused why Larson started both PP's with the "2nd" unit...

Not very objective
Team has never started 0-3 from what I can find. Worst start has been 0-3-1 with a tie preventing the 0-3 start. I guess we’ll see what tomorrow brings, but this is looking to be our worst start in program history. No where to go but up.

This team is awful. How long does the administration give Larson. Not sure I can do 2 years of this.

2015-16 team started 0-3 and had one goal in those three games. Ended up being a 20 win team, missed the tourney tho
Look, Larson just can’t beat teams with lift bridges
we’re not losing another game this year
It’s an odd choice for kryptonite but whatever.

The Cullen-Mooney-Ziemer line was on the ice the shift before both times

I guess that’s the part where we get to find out if he can coach at this level/type of institution then because he should if he’s going to hold this job down
Why do I tie my emotional well being to this team that hates me

I’ve been informed we have one more game against life bridge teams this year.

Really hope we don't run into the Stillwater HS boys' team in sections.
Though, as of right now we'd likely struggle in Section 1AA even

But there was a TV timeout after the 2nd penalty...

I'm not exactly optimistic about this team right now but if they don't give up a shit goal to start the game and meltdown during a 5 min penalty (that prob should've been 2) this is a normal game that either team could win. They need to respond tomorrow though, if not then yeah this team is completely cooked and the Larson era is off to a spectacular start lmao.

True. They almost are there, they just need to improve on offense, on defense, on the power play, on the penalty kill, on odd man rushes, on the breakout, on the face off, on penalties, and on coaching. But then I pity the team that has to play us
Bad part is idk who I’d even swap out for Townsend or Nevers. I think this is your lineup (minus Smith)
I’ve never left a game early. I did tonight. I’ve never been this upset.

we were supposed to improve from last year's atrocious PK. Meanwhile our PP has regressed by a lot so now we just have nothing in terms of special teams
Anderson 7-1.

Start Luca tomorrow. Tough game tonight but he has a decent track record
at least the gopher women look pretty good to start the year?
lol fuck everything

If the Gophers have sufficiently pissed off Cowgirl then you know it’s bad.

i'm sorry you made the trip and had to watch this abomination and now don't at least have fishbowls to drown your sorrows
I'm only watching because I paid money to watch... I just can't understand how this program can fail this dramatically in 1+ years in so many facets.
Quote: thinkbuiAnderson 7-1.
Screw this lmao. At least I'm sure Burnevik Murr and co. Are loving the Kollege Klub and hanging out with the U of M alpha phis
Hall being the best past husky on the ice today is also a total kick in the balls
Well thankfully the hockey is only half of the reason we road trip. The friends we hang with and the good times we have in various places is really what makes it worthwhile.
In the words of someone the older crowd here will remember…win or lose, we booze. 😉
Fire mariachi
if the team was even more devoid of talent last year but managed to beat every frozen four team, maybe we should've been giving bob kudos for such a good coaching job

Same on both accounts. The last 20-21 months have been borderline impressive at how bad this program has become. Still plenty of season to go but the implosion since about January or February of 2025 is honestly quite something to behold.

They’ve started 0-6 before.
in the mid 90s.
