Does anyone know if the game replay will be on bigtenplus?   Trying to decide to listen or just wait and watch.

It will not. This is a CCHA school and league, why would this be on B1G+ at all?

Tech being bad at on ice geometry is not a good sine. 

Can we not go on this tangent in the game thread...

I cosine this since it is an acute thought.

Maybe @cowgirl can serve as the GPL weather women giving us weather updates on the rink temperature and ice conditions leading up to game time. 😀

I agree, some comments here are a bit too hyperbolic for a hockey thread.

Looked at the line chart again, I'm guessing they copy paste last night's lineup. Rest of the country is very much sleeping on our D-corps. Smith was also criminally underrated by Wheeler's "top 40 NCAA freshmen" article, at #37. Even without him we'll be able to run with anyone, and in the BC/MSU exhibition last night I was not impressed by Reid at all. Didn't see the Michigan game so I don't know how DuPont stacked up

If I recall correctly, in prior years, there have been some games that were not “live” due to the home school not being in the Big Ten, but then replayed via BTNplus. Thus the question. But my CPU may be mistaken.  Or maybe high hopes.

KTLK through iHeart has been commercials for 10 minutes. Now comes on at the top of the hour with normal programming. Someone needs to flip the switch.

That penalty really took away the momentum we had been building. Also Lofgren's gotta hit reset, a lot of mental lapses and its really noticeable how Murr ends up playing for both of them basically

I know we're only one period in to the season, but I already don't feel incredibly anxious when our players have the puck in our own zone...  😓 😳

The 3rd and 4th lines both have a goal. Hopefully the top two lines do their part in the 3rd period.

Missed the first but caught most of the second. Some takeaways. One, some sloppiness for sure but this team already looks better than last year. Two, speaking of sloppy, the ice looks terrible. Three, MTU seems way too comfortable getting in our face and getting physical. Gotta match that.

Tech continuing to use a strategy of poor ice to slow down our team speed advantage. Those tricky Techers.

Finn Loftus with a sweet back handed pass to set up Pritchard who splits the Tech defense.

Hendrickson takes the puck to the net and gets a greasy goal.

There often are game highlights on YouTube (do a YouTube search after the game). I sometimes post them in game threads after the game. I just posted the highlights of the Gopher goals so far in this thread (see above).

Lofgren with a key pinch on the second Gopher goal to get the puck to Hendrickson and then he went to work.

Did Motzko schedule this series? New team playing 17 Canadians and 3 Fins who just clog the neutral zone. The Gophers were the better team, but they need to learn to finish. How many shots were wide of net? Get the win tomorrow and salvage the weekend.

If Tech was in the B1G they'd be projected for 5th place at best. First game of the year and all but this seems like a rebuild year.

The three forwards on the top line all get caught too close to the boards so when Murr's clear attempt hits the boards/glass redirecting it into the middle of the ice Lofgren is put in a no win spot. He steps up to close down the slot shot but the Tech forward is open for the one timer. There is no way for him to cover both guys. If even one of the forwards stays in the middle of the ice we have the guys needed to defend the play.
