    The Gophers needed an attention-getting weekend like this.

    And despite the weekends result, they remain in the BIG6 drivers seat.

    Who else would be?
    Michigan? Assuming both teams sweep Penn State, that will leave us with Minnesota having 32 points and Michigan having 29 with two games in hand. If they split their series with OSU or Sparty, all they need to do is to keep pace with Minnesota. The 4 Michigan-Minnesota games are enormous to deciding the winners of the first B1G conference. And Wisconsin isn't out of it either, granted 6/8 are on the road the rest of the way.

      Michigan is in the driver's seat, yes, not sure how anyone can see it any other way.

        9th ranked Michigan?

          For the Big 10 title, yes.

            I share Scoobs pessimism after the weekend. This feels eerily like last year; best team in the country through January, then coming down to earth with problems scoring after that. As much as I agree deep, balanced scoring is great, it would feel better if they also had a couple higher scoring players who could make the solo play to re-energize the team when they are not on top of their game, or things just aren't going in. I thought Rau and Warning would be those players this year, and maybe Condon, and if he sticks around, Fasching likely would be in future years, but no one is there now. Next series against Michigan will have a big impact on my psyche for rest of season.

              Higher ranked than the team that just swept the Gophs. Games in hand. And you have to remember this ain't the old WCHA...wins are worth 3 pts! (And do you really put a lot of faith in rankings when it comes to who is going to win a couple games?)

                We'll likely be back down to 5 defensemen again. You can either blame the player who left or the coaches who didn't see it coming and shore it up. Either way it's not good to be playing short again.

                Banners are such rare things it's disappointing to have to think that one is gone already.

                  I'm going to wait until next weekend before I decide whether or not I want to jump out the window on the regular season title. Feel like I gave up on it either last year or the year before, and look how that turned out.

                    Did you hear anything about Bischoff Scooby?

                    Scoobs - Really, writing them off already? It was one weekend, sweep the ugly helmets and we are looking good again with Penn State coming in after that. I think our game is better played against a team like Michigan anyway, they like to push the pace like the Gophers do. "Trap" teams give us fits it seems.

                          Ill still hope and root but I think Michigan now has the inside track.

                            I think if we split then yeah you are correct about them having the inside track (2 games in hand and all) but if we can sweep then it's back in our favor.

                            Not easy to do though, they are coming on strong and will surely test Wilcox and our D.
