Then Snuggy hits from behind erasing the 5 minute Power Play and gets kicked out. Ugh
I don’t know if having a 5 minute PP is necessarily good for us
Chesley on the 4 on 4!!!!!!
2-2
Chesley has now scored a goal in two of the last three games. I think he is going to be an offensive weapon as the season goes along.
Those two hits were not on the same level of severity, just saying…
Brodzinski scores his second Power Play goal of the game. He is now tied for the team lead in goals with 8.
The shots in the 2nd period are Gophers 13 Michigan State 4. The Gophers are coming!!!!
Amazing what a few completed passes will do for a team.
Nelson hits the post again. Man we have hit A LOT of posts this season. On the positive side the team is coming they are so close plus with how tough the Big Ten is the conference games are going to be close you just need to win your share of one goal games.
Brodzinski and Nelson are playing REALLY well. I would like to see Nevers get a goal but the Criticism Line and Huglen are showing a lot of veteran leadership with their work effort.
And the Spartans score.
Our D is also very poor at picking up guys in and around the net. Way too focused on the puck.
Team defense leaving a lot to be desired
How much faster is MSU than Gophers? Crazy.
So why are we playing 7 defenseman again?
KURTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He has now scored in back to back games
Now hold it!!!
He didn't get an assist on the Gophers 4th goal but Nelson has 3 assists so far today.
How many times is Sparty going to trip us before they get called for one? The refs are calling high sticking, hooking, and cross checking but not tripping. ?

Takes a dangerous knee out for it I guess
PITLICK!!!! The 3rd Power Play goal of the game!!!!
5-3
Pitlick has now scored a goal in 4 straight games scoring 5 goals over the past two weekends.
No way was it played with a high stick
I thought that might have been above the crossbar. Hope I’m wrong.
Question, is the PP gettting better? Or is it just a coincidence that the goals are scored while on the PP?
Please Gophers, don’t do this to us.

What makes a power play successful? I'm thinking scoring. ?
BTW we had 11 power play shots on Friday night.
Seems Gophers with a lead don’t want to play hockey. They only want to play defense.
LMAO they made it to the goal line before the puck did. How is that icing???? Insane

Also when the defender played the body instead of playing the puck.
Again… to d**n focused on the puck and not picking up guys.
How do you not call that hook with 5 seconds left. These refs are awful.
And there's a no call HOLD
That Kurth pass summarizes this season so far.
JIMMY CLARK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
Everyone would expect a Jimmy to score in OT, maybe a different Jimmy though
Another Pairwise series win with a tie and a win. Pairwise doesn't count the shoot out.
The Gophers are now 4-1-3 in their last 8 games overall and 3-1-2 in their last 6 Big Ten games.

Lose a Jimmy (due to the 5 minute penalty and game DQ) no problem we've got another Jimmy.
Those refs should pay someone to erase the recording of that game
Entertaining game and good to get the win but boy do we have things to clean up in our own zone. Could, and probably should, have had 5-6 points this weekend.
If MSU had an average goalie they’d be an average team
