Gophers were 1-3 against Penn St this year, losing both games at PSU.
PSU is 2-6-2 in their last 10
Gophers are 3-5-2 in their last 10
A couple of injuries for the Gophers to look out for-- Lamb and Ludtke. Bob is hopeful about Lamb, and thinks Ludtke should be ok. Pritchard will be back after missing a few games.

Honestly probably the best first round matchup they could’ve had. Doesn’t mean they’ll win but Penn St is pretty careless defensively and takes a ton of penalties. If Luca is dialed we certainly have a chance. Need Lamb back bad.

PSU has given up 48 goals in those last 10 games. Goalies have been bad lately. Need to put pucks on net and stay out of the box.
I’ll be curious to see who starts in net for them. Fleming was terrible Friday and Reidler got pulled Saturday. Definitely a game that should be there to be had if we play like we did on Friday
I would love to see the Gophers win the next 3. The Whioux working so hard to get the #1 overall and then have to play the Gophers in the first round.
It’ll be really interesting to see which team shows up for this game on Wednesday. Honestly, for both teams. I wouldn’t say I’m confident going into it but I’m cautiously optimistic. The one game format suits us and maybe we can steal a few games here. I have zero expectations but hopeful for some success this week.
Also, what is the new schedule for the B1G tournament again? Is it Wednesday quarterfinals, then semi finals on the weekend and the final next weekend?

This is crazy to me. Largely the same opponents too. Hoping PSU’s too distracted by the next stage
They got cerrato back in limited fashion last week
we’ve played really numerically low high danger event games with them. Probably going to be dictated by which goalie comes up with the saves and which doesn’t unless one of the two forward groups just doesn’t show up
Not shocked. Charges will eventually get dropped I'm guessing and Pegula, I mean he will have to pay a fine.

i agree, I feel like they’re gonna come out loose and give it everything the rest of the way and play gritty. The tighter we keep the score the more nervous PSU gets and the crowd stays quiet. We have the goalie it takes to make a run and that can add to their frustration and our guys can feed off of it. Nothing to lose at this point mentality.
“Good pace, a lot of north and south, or it could be east and west, I’m not sure but either way…” Wooger
With the series out in Pegula, Luca was locked in on Friday but team didn’t show up leading to a 3-0 L. On Saturday the team showed up but Airey spotted them 3 goals in the first, including some sketchy ones.
If we get the combination of Luca with a motivated team this game is up for grabs.
Do Thomas and Mittelstadt play 35 mins in this game?

Run 3 lines and spot in a forward here or there. This team is simply not good enough to play 4 lines.
Run 5 defenseman, and primarily 3 of them (Luke M, Thomas, and Whipple).
Go down swinging, Bob.
Will Lamb play?
I don't know if he will or not but it'd have to be a pretty serious injury for him to miss this game.
Wasn’t in crutches on senior night so I’m assuming it’s not so serious that he’ll have to miss. As others have said, if its at all possible he’ll play.
Any updates on if the game will be on TV?
got an email just now from the U that it's on Big10+Any updates on if the game will be on TV?
Just to clarify that B1G+ is the streaming version. No TV

Bob says it’s 50/50 that Lamb plays. Doesn’t sound very hopeful. Pritchard is out sick.

Well I’d like to say we’re cooked without Lamb but we did just tie the best team in the country without him so who knows
Run back the top line we had this past weekend. Really like Moe up there with Mooney and Ziemer.
This game feels like.....
When you tell somebody somethin', it depends on what part of the United States you're standin' in... as to just how dumb you are.
Bob has been playing the long game prepping for this game. If we get ahead by a goal or two, he already had the seniors practice the shell and the 0 - 5 forecheck in the playoffs in 2023 so they should have experience trying to hold the lead.

He barely could walk the steps on Friday night. He looked in rough shape.

Wonder if he knows there’s an elevator in the building?
Kidding aside, I hope he’s back quickly. These next seven games are going to be intense. 😁
Lamb is back.

Back on the first line too! That is a good good good sign.
No Tate though?
Pritchard has some sort of illness according to Motzko's radio show
Anyone have a free trial or discount pass for big+? Not willing to drop the one game fee
Wide angle shot looks like 1977 video feed. Holy cow, that is ugly.
Early camera work leaves a lot to be desired
The zoom in on some random guy on the glass was crazy work 🤣Early camera work leaves a lot to be desired
Cerrato 1-0.

Get the fucking puck out of the zone. Need new defensive core asap
Oh yea that's a hand pass lol
Turnover at the blue JFC it’s March
Man our lack of puck possession is really frustrating to watch
Luke Mittelstadt saves a goal on a 2 on 1. Still looking for our first shot, sigh
That last odd man rush the 3rd player yanked on Moore’s arm to prevent a back check and allow the pass across for the scoring chance. Subtle move.
Man our lack of puck possession is really frustrating to watch
And how slow they move the puck, goes with the territory I suppose. We watched kids in the state tournament last weekend that were more capable.
I don’t think the camera guy has ever seen hockey being played before
Just a brutal start so far. Cmon.

Or he has watched the Gophers a lot this year....

I can’t say I remotely understand what the offensive gameplan is tonight but that’s tracked for every game with PSU. We’re going to get skated out of the rink tonight
Gadowsky 2-0.
