Disjointed period. Lucky to be scoreless.
No shot on a 3 on 2. Sigh.
Roulette 1-0.

Pritchard is the only Gopher who can play through contact
Yesterday I was fine with their play. Today I am disgusted
I spoke too soon yesterday (after one period)... This feels a lot like last year haha... The sky isn't falling, but man...
I'm no hockey mind, but am I right in noticing that the Gophers hold on to the puck WAY too long..? They will have a wide open 1 on 1 and just slow walk it into the corner then lose the puck battle...
Sloppy is the word to describe all of this. The ice, the passing, the defense. All of it. No real sustained pressure and of course we can’t finish on a grade A break away.
That is an absurd BS call. Breezers are a no-stick-contact zone now???
and to make such a crap call right after the Midco replay of that Tech player holding Murr's stick for dear life then punching him square in the face... where does tDon even find these refs?
End of 2, Gophs trail 0-1.

Well before the penalty they kinda looked like they remembered how to play Gopher hockey so that was encouraging. Given how the rest of the game has gone who knows if they can continue that in the third.

Team came out with a total lack of intensity or urgency which is infuriating when they're staring down the barrel of getting swept here
Not much better that period
Quote: maroon and goldNot much better that period
The first 17 minutes that was true, then they generated like 3 good chances in a row and couldn't score before taking a penalty.
Would assume tech is going to pack the neutral zone in the 3rd. Kvasnicka has seemed the guy with the most legs so far today. Cullen looks like he’s thinking a bit too much and not just letting the game happen.
team needs to make their own luck in the 3rd or it will be a very long 2 weeks
Ziemer comes out looking like a hockey player. Was that too much to ask gawdam
About as cut and dry a 5 and the gate you should see at the college level. This shouldn’t take this long
Loftus down
Solid first setup on the PP, let's get some chaos going in the blue paint.
Moe 1-1, PPG.

Well that was ugly but I’ll take it
Ugly but we needed that 🤣
Finally. Need more bodies in front of the goalie and more pucks on net.
Huge sigh of relief, glad to see Moe break thru.
Humphreys needed to battle for that puck dumped in by Ziemer, they're not playing the U.S. NTDP here. Can't be trying to ballet dance away from contact and conceding the puck
Ugly, pretty, who cares? A goal is a goal, ladies and gentlemen.
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.
Quote: J22Quote: BoninTheBearQuote: BoatsIce was ass. Goal 1 bounced off of 2 players and somehow found the tech stick. Goal 3 was terrible luck. Not worried at all about the team after game 1. I watched a dozen players try and turn and just plow through the ice. The puck wasn’t moving like a puck should. That obviously greatly benefits the larger, slower, less skilled hockey team lol
thing that sucked the most is the two players I thought played the best at the scrimmage were invisible or bad today, Lofgren and Moore. Get a split tomorrow and prepare for the next team
I don’t think you can keep W. Cullen at C, needs to get much stronger physically to present a threat on the boards during the forecheck. Problem is Mooney isn’t the answer either.
Pleasant surprises were B. Cullen, Humphrey’s, and Henricks. Kvasnicka was flying around.
What does playing center have to do with the forecheck?
I like the Center to be F1
Are you frickin kidding me? Soft ass call on Moe battling for the puck, meanwhile Tech players hang on to our guys for 15sec after every play. Refs trying to send this crowd home fat and happy
Screw this. Finally break thru and we just give Tech the game back with some help from the refs
Neat.
Trembecky 2-1, PPG.

This team has zero cohesiveness
Fuck
Game over, Tech wins 3-1.

That was not a fun way to spend my Sunday afternoon. Hoped after we tied it we could make something of it but alas the refs decided to get involved. Although, tbf Tech probably deserved to win today. Gophers have more talent but Tech were the better team overall imo. Maybe this weekend off isn’t the worst thing before heading up to Duluth.
Well there goes a one-loss season.
Realistically, this team may start 0-8 if this is how we’re going to play.
3 goals for the entire weekend isn’t going to cut it. Made Barto look like Trey Augustine.
Garbage opening weekend. F this. Did most of these guys think it was gonna be a leisurely warm-up? Plenty more talent on this roster than last year's but they must've spent the last few weeks dicking around like it's high school captains practices. Goddamn it
Genuinely embarrassing performance. Backs to the wall and that’s your response? Waited all summer for this shit. JFC
0-2 heading into UMD and North Dakota. Good god.
Apparently not enough accountability meetings leading in to this weekend.
Yeah this could be a rough year. They really need Mooney back but even then having Lutdke as anything but a 4th line center isn't ideal, IDK why Moe isn't doing that currently.

I’m not saying people shouldn’t care that they lost, but please explain to me how their backs were against a wall here.
Here we go after 2 games. 🙄
BTW, I'm the one still in the boat...
