[Closed] Gophers Off Season Thread

Hey, we’ve all been there.

Except for that legend that had the scoop on Cooley

Not sure you can call it a scoop when he said like "big commit coming"

That's the kind of vague stuff where if it hits you can pretend to be smart and if not, you can still pretend you were right

It's mainly a foot speed program I think

That was pretty good!

You sound jealous, Chill. That guys Cooley scoop was grade A. Your scoop today has not failed just yet. Keep the faith.

Paging Davey J :poke: :biggrin2:

Seriously what happened to that guy? Drops a bomb then leaves :biggrin2:

Rumor mill

Ah yes hard hitting reporter Kevin Papetti

I believe that was sarcasm and more in reference to the Leafs playing a terrible game against Buffalo.

Ding Ding Ding...

that is how I read it

Makes sense. I thought it was an "inside report" about how a meeting with him went. Don't follow scores.

Leafs twitter is funny.

Although not as funny as the untentional alerts I'm getting about the Ben Meyers Film Festival.

I’ve been seeing those too?. They were not impressed with Boss Baby.

With how quiet things have been over the last 24 plus hours I’m starting to get more nervous on who signs and who comes back. Is the fact that it’s taking this long for the drafted guys to sign somewhere a good or a bad sign? Or is not really an indication either way?

Nothing to read into

Damn, give me something! I’m dying over here.

I have compulsively checked twitter and this thread for the past two days. I just want to know!!

No Joy.

That's a good spot for him

Wow, Avs are insane

I'd want to play there too. Good luck kid!

Looks like Frank Seravelli tweeted it too

Of all teams, why it have to be the damn Avs?!?

I totally get it tho

I am dead inside

I guess this is one scenario where not caring whatsoever about the NHL other than Gophers making it and doing well is good

Can Myers be on their playoff roster?

No

Congrats to Ben. I wish him the best and hope he kills it in the NHL. Always nice to have that many interested after going undrafted.

[mention]Vegoe[/mention] was saying on the podcast that the deadline was late March sometime to be signed.

Congrats to Ben. I hate his team. I'll never root for him while he's there.

i.e. Eric Johnson...

The Meyers news is disappointing to say the least.

He's dead to me

Wow, seems like people are bigger Wild fans than Gopher fans

Congrats to Ben. I may not cheer for him given the new team, but that's no reason to actively hate him for leaving and taking advantage of his position. He may not be playoff eligible this year, but I think it's clear he's ready for the NHL, and he was lucky enough to get to choose his landing spot.

No. I'm a bigger Gopher fan than a Wild fan. But, he's not a Gopher anymore, and he now plays for the (current) biggest rival of the Wild. I still offer my congratulations, but slightly begrudgingly.

If [mention]Cowgirl[/mention] buys a Ben Meyers Colorado Avs jersey this will guarantee he will quickly be on another team. 😀

Jeez people, I don’t like the Avs either but you can’t blame a guy for going to stellar franchise. He doesn’t owe anything to Minnesota anymore. Good luck to Ben! Thanks for the memories.

Also, we have bigger fish to fry. Let’s focus on guys that might actually come back and how that will impact the team for next year.

We have all we need

Screw the Avs, congrats to Meyers on starting his professional career and thanks for all he did for us, but screw him too.

(Said with possibly a cheek full of tongue)

I am a firmer believer that when Gopher players have success in the NHL it helps Gopher recruiting. Go Ben Meyers!!! Score a hundred goals a season and lose every game against the Wild. #PerfectScenario

?

Maybe I should trade it for my Fiala jersey- if I sell that one does he stay with the Wild, and then Ben comes too?

Bingo.

Kids watch the NHL more than college hockey and you want the Gophers mentioned as much as possible.

I couldn't care less... He was a Gopher and will always be a Gopher. Just like when if a wisconSIN or UND player plays for the Wild. As long as he makes the team better... I couldn't care less if he was a BADger or F'ing Hawk.
