Know it’s meaningless shootout, but really happy for the seniors/guys

Without 2 regulars (Lamb and Pritchard) and down 3-1 against the #1 team in the country = no problem we got this.

“4th W vs top-5 teams this season” is a sloppy graphic. It’s a tie game and we didn’t win. Even if we’re suddenly good at shootouts. Good 2nd half of the game, lot to be happy with and to build on. Moore is gonna be a stud for us

mooney Moore Moe is a great trio to work with. Add Ziemer and you have 4 solid guys of a top 6 who can compete at this level. 

it’s a win in the big ten standings so I get it. The big ten doesn’t care about the npi

More surprising is they outshot, outchanced and out attempted the #1 team in the country

Just curious, what was the rationale for moving the senior night ceremony to after the game? Just not as rushed as it would be before the game?

Idk but I love it so much more. Seems more heartfelt and way less rigid. Helps that they usually win on senior night.

For one night I’ll forget about everything this season and just enjoy this one for the seniors. Senior night is my favorite

You know what? They didn’t give up. Down 3-1 against the #2 team in the country and they kept fighting.

Javon Moore gets better every game. Such an explosive skater.

Gave Moe more runway with Lamb out and he didn’t sink he swam.

Bob also said a few years ago it’s too emotional of a thing before the game and it was hard for the players to focus after the ceremony. This way they can enjoy the moment and not worry about having to play a game.

Should have used Moe instead of Zeimer on the shootout. Only Freshman can score for us.

I watched 1/2 of Thursdays game.  I gave up at they went down 4-0.  It was pretty apparent where the night was headed by that point.  Pointless to continue watching.  But was encouraged to see their play on Friday.  My question to the forum though here is...was it me...or do you think the Friday's performance was more that the Gophers actually played better and were hungry or do you think that Michigan State played a reduced level since they already had the #1 overall seed locked in at that point.  I mean Augustine wasn't in net that night either.

I don't want to take away from what they managed to accomplish and all...but I'm just not convinced any sort of corner is being turned yet.  I'm still going to watch and cheer them on...no matter the outcome.  Let's geter done boys.  Get 7 wins and see if you can be the first team to win a National Title with an overall losing record. Ha!  Could happen.

 Michigan State just went from 1 overall to 3 (in the NPI). Yes I think they cared. This just felt like a typical B10 weekend with more gopher emotion Friday. Pat noted it numerous times calling the game in the booth that there was way more fire and compete out of MN night two and I agree 100%.
