Not a lot of news about the team lately, but Aaron Huglen got married this past weekend per his social media accounts. Congrats to them both.

It helps that most of the negative comments that would dominate the lack of news come from a poster who is on a break

Let's hope the break is permanent.  This board has been a much more enjoyable read lately.

Maybe a parole hearing for eyore in early September? Although (I admit) I initially hesitated making this suggestion…since I’m not looking to be placed on probation. Wish I knew how to post a picture of “Red from Shawshank’s hearing…but with the new software update, no dice.

Censorship over having a negative attitude? That's a head scratcher for me. I can get a bit negative myself when my teams are not performing up to expectations. I actually enjoyed his posts, both for their content and for their six-sigma pessimism.

I'll take a negative attitude any day over those who show little civility and a disrespectful proclivity toward childish name calling. There are a few frequent posters who can't even handle someone disagreeing with them.

Simply being negative wasn’t the issue, it was also the frequency. He was relentlessly negative and condescending.

I think the attempt to start a gun control conversation in violation of the no politics rule was probably the issue and his constant negativity didn't earn him the benefit of the doubt.

A couple of unfinished items left--

--Waiting for an "official" announcement on Ryan Johnson's plans. It was reported he was leaning on coming back, but nothing from the U yet. If he comes back, the Gophers will have 9 defensemen.

-- Still need a goalie

-- Still need an assistant

-- By my count we now have 14 forwards, so may need to add 1 or 2 more if Sammy isn't coming back, and Bearpaw has indicated he is not.

With so many underclass men on the roster this upcoming season I could see the 2022-23 season going a lot like last year. With a lot of talent but a young team (at least young in terms of college hockey experience. I haven’t looked at what age each player will be coming in). Point being, can we agree now not to lose our cool in mid November if we’re not winning every single game 6-0. I’m saying this for myself as much as anyone else. Let’s just enjoy the season and trust Motzko.

Good to hear that there's been a lot of interest in the open assistant job. I'm sure there was whenever there was an opening under Don Lucia too, but back then we didn't really hear much until an offer was made, so having this transparency is refreshing.

I was serious that is hope Miller is the one if a B1G assistant is truly interested, but would Osiecki or Strobel be interested?

 

I can't imagine it's anyone from Penn and MSU doesn't have a staff. Neither of Mel's guys make sense. Don't think they'd phrase it as an assistant if it was Graham and Jackson's other dudes are ND lifers.

Pinoniemi is as big of a wild card as any recent commit I can think of. Has potential, and junior experience but really no idea what he’ll bring next year.

Don’t know what the ALT letters on the images stands for but if you click it a pop up shows with their name.  I could not have identified any of them…except for the Mittlestadts but I don’t know which one’s which.

Yep... I have no idea who each player is without having to investigate. Not sure why they didn't add the names.

They did.  The ALT (I had to google) means “alternative text” aka image description.  Click on it and it gives you the name of the player!

I think he’s a player most of us on here will be pleasantly surprised with. Very good player that’s flying way under the radar.

I was clueless on about 50% of the players at first until I did the same thing with ALT. I figured I would help out the rest of the clueless people like me by then listing their names in order on top. I'm just excited to finally see the official squad take shape.

I agree, we need to start panicking now. Who is foolish enough to think that just because those players are featured on Twitter they're all going to end up with the Gophers. It's a long summer and the Gophers already blew their chance at getting anyone else impactful, while other teams, especially those in better conferences, loaded up with world class transfers, some of whom were from better conferences.

Personally I have been panicking since Wyatt Smith was still on the team...Woog is so out of touch!!

I expect 20+ regular season wins and another BIG championship at a minimum. This year's team is re-loaded to the max. It will be interesting to see what the lines will be. I'm definitely more excited for the upcoming season than the last few years. A really good fourth line for this year: Lamb, Brodzinski, Strobel all goal scorers.

Would love to see Lamb put up 9 goals against Penn State

@vegoe is working on an article in the coming weeks that will have more data. But from the documents I have seen, they are going to do their best to get the ice width down to 89' vs 92'.

The attached doc has more up-to-date numbers/dimensions.

Keep and eye on the draft... Buffalo may try to unload him and that could change his direction in many ways.

Edit-- Just what Jup said..

It will be interesting if he attends Buffalo's developmental camp in the next month or he is playing hard ball and wants to force a trade. Maybe he gets dealt at the draft to a team that would prefer that he turns pro. He has a very limited social media presence so he is not proving any clues to his future. So, to answer your question... we may not know until school starts. On the bright side, depth at defense is our strength.
