Teams aren’t ready for the Gophers in game 1 of a weekend series. Blowout win Friday with a closer game Saturday.
Probably the best team we’ve played so far?? Idk if two nail biters with St. Lawrence bodes well for the Nittanies.
Seems like the Gophers need a kick in the shorts to really get going, as evidenced this past weekend by letter St Thomas score the first goal in each of the games. I hope I'm wrong about that, because better teams won't go down that easy after that.

Underrated good point made here. Especially in a one and done format. Important to be ready to go right away.
Don’t know a ton about Penn States roster but I think the Gophers should be able to control the pace.

The Tommies aren't exactly an inspiring opponent. These can be trap games...the better team goes in expecting a cake walk and finds out too late the other team has some fight in them. The Gophers started both games that way, but to their credit, didn't panic and played through it. It helps that they have 4 lines that can score, a huge luxury rarely seen in hockey at any level.
I doubt they'll underestimate league opponents (hope not).
Duluth sucks…Penn State sucks…Gophers are a tsunami 🧹😉 Book it, the rouser will be playing Saturday!Brooms
I expect PSU to put up a much better fight than UST or UMD did.

How many shots do they have so far?!
since the brutal stretch that ended a gopher season or two where we went 1-10-1 against PSU, the gophers have been 14-3 with a score of 62-36.
sweep here to keep it rolling would be huge but if you want to be a big ten title contender, has to be at least a win/OTL series. we only swept 2 big ten series last year (PSU at home, OSU at home) and only 4 series all together. sweeping in the B10 is always a challenge, but this is a pretty meh PSU team on paper

17 if the game was the perugala arena. 🤔 🤣

I feel like Penn State is going to take a lot of bad shots and make the goalies look better than they are. The Russian Goalie they got looks pretty good.
I feel like there is one game a year where Gadowsky wants to try and run and gun against us. It hasn't ended well lately. Will be curious if they play responsible hockey to start or if they need to learn that lesson again.
Where's Max Rud this year? Is he hurt? Just not getting playing time?
Where's Max Rud this year? Is he hurt? Just not getting playing time?
He and Begley a pretty clear #8 and #9 in the defensive pecking order. Likely not getting any time unless a player above them is absent. Even though it may be prudent to roll with Mittelstaedt or Falloon as a 13th forward.
Fink is a dangerous player but after that nothing really scares me. They have a few nice young pieces on the come up but they’re probably a year or so away from being factors again.
Does anybody know of anyone planning on filming (and posting) the mid week press conference that the gophers do on Wednesdays? I used to watch them on the rink live’s YouTube but they told me they aren’t doing that this year 🙁
I'm looking forward to a Culver's sweep.
After the Omaha loss the Gopher's seem way more determined. They come at teams in waves now, line after line.
33 goals and the number 1 scoring team 3 goals ahead of Denver. Imagine when 81 gets going, and hopefully this weekend!
Surprisingly Penn State isn't even in the top 10 in shots on goal this year.

I share your prediction but there will be somewhere along this run we probably catch some hot goaltending and/or come out a little lackadaisical. It’s a long season to be aggressively locked in all year and rolling up 5 spots nightly. That said PSU is a team that you should have a good chance to do it against regardless of how they try play us

I think you may be out of luck. Jess was the only one recording/streaming it. I only record when I am there and that is only for the games I attend. I cannot attend every home game to do it a well.
Do not like how this board is run?
Get your own board!

No doubt the Omaha game shook the webs loose a bit but given that Omaha has been having their lunch handed to them it couldn't have come at a better time... as in early. No team takes laser focus into every game for the entire long season but there is no room for any team to have any long lag periods in this season either. The BIG is strong but so are a couple other conferences so we cannot completely rely on our conference schedule which makes these non conference games important regardless of who we play. The cloud has been holding tight to a good ranking and I think UMD will only improve which should help us. UST same. We need to do better than split with conference foes. Like I said, on repeat, win when you should and steal a few and this team will see success. So far we are 90% winning games we should. Might need more than 90%
@mg-since-forever as long as they’re the 4 that matter most, 70% or 90%of them all doesn’t matter
At least they're streaming the action this weekend. 🙄
Free BIG TEN+! Thank you UCLA!
Thank you UCLA!
And USC!
What are you talking about? I already paid for Big+, but I have a buddy who is willing to give me a six pack every time the Gophs sweep his Alma mater of Pedo state. He does not subscribe but he is one of those annoying fans who isn't a huge PSU hockey fan but will be sure to point out to me if they get lucky and win one against the Gophs (slightly less annoying if the person is actually a fan) so I'd rather not offer to have him come over and watch on the slight chance the Gophs lose. So if I could direct him to a free B1G+ that would be good. (Or was that the offer that expired long ago?)

I’ll actually be at an Illinois club hockey game this weekend in IL. Down for dad’s weekend and the Gopher football game. Very interested in that game given how close to D1 IL has flown.

Like Icarus.
Another B1G+ question. I've only watched games in real time. If you start streaming late can you go back and start at beginning without knowing score? Or if you tune in after game is over to watch, does app just list the game as so and so vs so and so on this date? Or do they have the score in the title so you can't watch without knowing outcome? Still figuring out this streaming stuff. Wish more games were on TV channels I get so could just record.

First, there’s an option in settings on the app to “hide scores.” Turn that on now.
Second, you can either watch live, or wait until the game is over. You can’t start an hour after the game has started and watch from the beginning. But if you wait until the game is over, then you can watch the whole game from the start, skipping commercials, etc.
Yeah, I’ve done this a lot in the past. They don’t show scores on the app, I don’t think I had to change any setting to make that happen but you can always check that before the game and see if any scores show up in yours. (Might be a setting like dude above said)Another B1G+ question. I've only watched games in real time. If you start streaming late can you go back and start at beginning without knowing score?

IDK when you plan to watch the game but if you’re watching after it’s over it shouldn’t spoil anything. I’ll defer to the guy above me as far as trying to watch midway through the game, I forget if that’s possible or not and would have to test it.
In some of the stream options I've tried (although I can't say for sure for this one) you can start the stream from the beginning by sliding the red time tracking bar from the bottom. But again that might not be an option for this streaming source.
Penn St definitely remembers how last season ended. They should be a motivated group this weekend but I’m not sure it matters tonight. I think we’re gonna see a lot of lopsided Friday scores, especially through the first time around the Big 10. Not sure teams are prepared for what this Gophers team is all about til they get their feet under them and by then it’s already 3-0.

Thanks everyone for response.
And I'm thinking it might be Peacock where you can slide the bar to get to the beginning. Still is risky because you need to do this without seeing score on screen. I also feel like once the stream ended, no matter where you were in the game, it ended for you and you had to wait to watch the rest once they posted the video of the completed game. But my memory sucks so not sure if this is right.
That Falloon/Hendrickson swap seems very deliberate and I like it. The Moore-Ziemer line needs some weight to it.
Completely agree! I like this line combo. Good things seem to happen with Falloon in the lineup.
Chat will be going, of course.

Connor Kurth on the pregame show: “I love being a Gopher and all I care about is Gopher wins” F yeah
Under review for 5 for… checking?
end of 1 down 0-1. Gophers sleepwalking tonight. Bob will not be happy with that first. Looks like a team that’s been headline reading
How many times have they won a D zone faceoff, but fail to get it out?
Guessing the fox9+ TV feed was skipping for everyone else? Mine def was so I started streaming big+ to fix it but holy crap was that annoying.
