UND fans out numbered MN fans this weekend in their own rink. Yes many of those UND fans bought their tickets. But A LOT of green were in seats that are owned by season ticket holders.
Mariucci has NEVER been taken over like that.
EVER
Stray thought: this Gopher team is so fun to watch not just because of all the talent, but because they play such a good brand of hockey. Disciplined, unselfish, quality leadership, smart players up and down the lineup. Motzko building a juggernaut.
This week... Jaxson Nelson, Justen Close & Logan Cooley announced they were coming back for next season! They join Jimmy Snuggerud who said he was coming back in April.
I am hearing a rumor that Minnesota is going to donate the old goal pegs from the zamboni side at Mariucci...
One to Portillo and the other to Dobeš...
All the credit for the game winning goal has got to be Huglen… He busted his ass behind the net to keep the play going until Meyers came flying off the bench to cause havoc!
Just had a follow up to my surgery with an Oncologist. He says that based on my pathology and the surgery. No further treatment is needed.
Officially stage 1 colon cancer. But I just need to get another colonoscopy in a year and that is it.
So today is a good day!!!
For those of you wondering why so many players and coaches were thanking and hugging a linesman after the game today.
This was Johnathon Morrison’s last game as a linesman after 26 years in D1.
Great guy and was totally goofing with me when I took this tonight.
Finally got the chance to meet
@Buccigross
this weekend in St. Paul.
Though I was not exactly sober at the time... He did say that he would love to come on the
#GPLPodcast
next season!
I mean, I think we are one of the oldest and longest running podcasts in
#CawlidgeHawkey
so
What happens if all the eastern teams are out of the tournament by the end of the day today? That could easily happen.
What will ESPN talk about then???
Hard to find the words here
@MazzPuck
. Congratulations doesn’t seem like enough. Thank you for a ton of amazing memories. Thanks for letting me know me be a small part of an incredible career. Thank you for all of it.
After Canisius went up 2-1 yesterday, I changed into my gold Vanek jersey, and the
#Gophers
scored 8 straight.
I've got the Vanek jersey on right now, so good vibes only.
This is a different
#Gophers
team tonight. Hopefully these guys can carry this forward through the rest of the season... THIS is Gopher Hockey. Tenacious on the puck, relentless attack, fast skating. I forgot that this was fun.
Rinzel blocks a shot in the D zone, stickhandles from his knees, feeds Moore to a two on one rush, Moore finds Lamb, who roofs it for the win. Hell of a play, HUGE win for the good guys.
Holy buckets did this photo of
@Brockfaber14
turn out really well!

I took this photo last season on 10/7 against Minnesota State.
What a run by
@PWHL_Minnesota
to win the Championship!!!
From needing help to just make the playoffs. Down 2-0 in the first series only to come back and win!
Now winning the title on the road for the leagues first championship!!!
Congrats to
@bookerT2116
(Kyle Okposo) on winning the Stanley Cup!!!
Here are a few of my favorites photos I took of him at the UofM... (So many years ago)
I keep getting little hints that Cooley is going to be back for next season. I hope these people are not pulling our legs!
This along with hearing that Brodzinski, Nelson and Close are seriously thinking about playing their 5th season too?
PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!!!
The best team won tonight. Hats off to Q, they played great all game long and forced the
#Gophers
to play their game. Sad end to a wonderful season for Minnesota, who will have to wait another year to get title
#6
.
This is
@ChrisEckes
, and I just cannot tell you how pleased I am that the
#Gophers
, a team many left for dead after LaFontaine left and the Olympics guys were going to be gone, won THIS regular season title versus the World’s Most Talented Team in Michigan. Hang that banner!
@GopherPuckLive
College hockey in Minnesota died after Minnesota left for the Big Ten. At least from a Gophers fan perspective. I don’t care about Ohio or Penn State. I want to see Duluth or Mankato and St Cloud. Such a mistake breaking up the old WCHA. Money talks though
An interesting stat for the Minnesota/Canisius game coming up on Thursday.
Canisius Average Age: 23y 2m
(2nd oldest in the NCAA)
Minnesota Average Age: 21y 1m
(2nd youngest in NCAA)
Through the car wash… Then it’s 195 miles to the hotel in Sioux Falls!
Honk if you see a Kia with “GO4PUCK” plates pass you or you pass it!
Let’s Go!!!!
#Gophers
win it 4-0. Great, complete hockey game, especially the final 40 minutes. Close the
#1
star by far in my book. Have a chance to sweep on the road tomorrow.
