Whoever made the 0-5 forecheck joke earlier happened to be more or less correct

You’re 11 games below .500, playing for your season. HOW do you come out tentative? You have NOTHING to lose???

Just a brutal start so far. Cmon. 

Clark was exactly zero percent effective on McKenna as he entered the zone and dished the puck. 

It is my hope that Clark is not a Gopher next year. He's not even a 4th line guy on a good team.

So proven fact, defenseman that try to play goalie instead of taking the guy off the puck are giving the guy a free shot.  Both goals the D is in front of the goalie playing goalie. Take out the man, don’t give any space for a shot.

If we can keep Penn on the penalty kill for the next 40 straight minutes we have a fighting chance. Might need some 2 man advantages to score.

They’re checked out. I’m sure there are a number of players that know they won’t be on the team next season. They are just like us. We all just want the season to end.

It's on the +. 

Regular radio is about 40 seconds ahead, streaming radio is about the same as video stream. 

Oh, and Live Chat is going, btw.

 The right now is on the players and that needs to be reflected in who’s on the roster next year, regardless of who the coach is. Playoffs you are playing for your team and brothers in the locker room.

the first period was completely on brand for this season. So far if you watch this game, it’s a cliff notes of the season

Jimmy Clark would be a freaking All American for Western Michigan. Is it me or does it look like all the skill has been coached out of him?

It is my hope that Clark is not a Gopher next year. He's not even a 4th line guy on a good team.

 

The lack of quality centers on this team is just as big an issue as the blue line. The best center is a guy who converted to the position out of necessity and didn't play it before this year. After that it's maybe Moe, a guy who arguably came in a year early.

Crespo just beat 3 Gophers bearing down on him to successfully break out the puck. So disappointing

LMAO giving Begley a shift down 2-0 in an elimination game.

 

Reminder that Motzko makes roughly 900K a year.

IDK, he always seemed like a pass first guy at best and a decent skater but hasn't shown a ton of ability to create his own offense and his shooting isn't anything special.

Both predictions from the pod this past Monday are no longer a possibility and it’s about midway through the second period.

Small frame, loses a lot of puck battles, and almost never scores. His lack of scoring would be forgiven if he could could shut down defensively.

PSU just having fun now smacking around the reckless rodents. 

There should be a poll asking which players fans absolutely want back and which ones should be dropped off at the city limits. My list for players back would be very short.

Idk if I'm as die hard as some of the fans on here, I do watch the vast majority of games even this year that's remained the case. If Motzko is back next year it's gonna be hard to get invested and even do the bare minimum of following the team. Can't imagine I'm the only one who feels the same, the more casual fans definitely aren't gonna be looking to buy tickets either.

I guess there was some hope that the team who beat North Dakota, Michigan, and Wisconsin would show up but that clearly didn’t happen. It was, like you pointed out, the team that we have watched for the majority of the season. 

They are who we thought they were.

Same, even some of the guys people want to keep around look like guys who would've been 4th liners not all that long ago.

This is what you get with a collection of third and fourth line caliber players.  More of the same next season without significant high end additions which is unlikely.  Absolutely terrible hockey team.  Really sad to see for this program.
