Huglen is my call.

How do you play not to lose for 30 damn minutes?   I expect better hockey in the overtime, but that was horrible coaching.  

I think tBob may have played this game differently if he already had a NC under his belt.

Cooley likes to dump the puck in the corner and skate around the D to get the puck. ALL game the QU defense has checked Cooley, without the puck, to keep him from getting to the puck.  

These refs refuse to call the textbook interference….and/or holding.

Yup. Saw them do it at the end of the third too. He dumped the puck from just inside the blueline and the defenseman rode him to the faceoff dot.

 

So basically the way the game is getting called is allowing Q to take away his speed. That is why interference is in the rule book. I wonder why Cooley hasn't impact the game as much? ?

Bourbon County Stout for me. I will be honest that I don’t have a lot of faith right now but if the Gophers do it I am going with Knies.

what a terrible goal

the first was worse, close puts his stick forehand instead of backhand and that puck never gets across

 

Neither can go in at this level. 

 

true but this could be said about the rest of the team (puck possession).

I'm a huge Motzko fan, and he lost that game.   Horrible coaching today.   Just horrible.

While I agree, you cannot get outshot 14-2 in the third, and blame you're goalie for letting in one that sends it to OT.  Both should be saves.  But that third period was a miserable effort by the entire team.  Snuggy missing the net by 13 feet and ringing it out of the zone on the 2-on-1 was just as awful.

I feel bad for the kids...but just a horrible 3rd period. You can't play to not lose.

I'm not a fan of how they played the 3rd period, but the Gophers gave a Close a really easy win, and he couldn't get it done.

Incredible season. Obviously seeing a loss in the championship hurts, but this one really stings. They got up 2-0 and the attacking ended soon after. I'd be curious as to the number of shots they got after that second goal.

Quinnipiac had no odd man rushes in the 3rd period we had two 2 on 1s.

That's okay.  We both see it a little differently.  We're both frustrated, yet again.

Top line was borderline invisible tonight.

Sure is fun to cheer for Minnesota teams.  F.

Yep. When you've got the horses, keep going. Don't put them in a style of play they're not accustomed to.

Reminds me of the agony of the 98 Vikings.  Sit back and play D with the best offense in the game and wait for the other team to lose….then wonder what happened?

I just do not understand trying to park the bus up 2-0. We were in control. Beat them into submission. F this one hurts. 

 

Congrats to Q, their 25 year olds, and that annoying play style. (Yes, I'm salty).

this is because we played a defensive trap for 30 minutes.

I really like what Motzko has done for this program but watching this team troll for over half the national championship game was tough to watch. This team is better than that and played scared trying to hold a lead.

They've done it in a lot of the overtime games this season. Nelson is their best face off man and that is their best defensive line if they win the face off you can always change lines and go on the offense.

I'm going to sign off before I say a bunch of stuff I regret.  Goodnight everyone.  The sun will come up tomorrow...  or maybe it won't.

Idk what else to say other than Denver did it successfully last year but got lucky AF to win that game. They were out shot 19-5 but up 2-1 and won because their goalie was vastly better than Dryden McRoids

@collegehockeyaddict I'm  more upset with the defensive pairing.  I think Faber & Johnson would have covered better.

I've been following Gopher hockey for almost 40 years and this is my favorite season (still is) and that includes the 02 & 03 national championship teams.

I don't put all the importance on winning the National Championship (a single game).

This isn’t European soccer. You can’t park the bus and expect a positive result up by one. Too conservative too soon in the period. 

Hard work will beat talent, if talent doesn't work hard.

At the end of the day, let's all remember it is just a game. Vent. Purge. Get it out. Move on. And never sit on a lead. 

And drink some fine bourbon (if you are of age).

Some will disagree but the game was lost long before then. Trying to tread water while up a single goal for over 30 mins is ?‍♂️
