Minnesota Gophers Off Season Thread 2015

Re: Minnesota Gophers Off Season Thread 2015

No big predictions there.

Really? "My B1G picks" Some might place Sparty at 2nd considering Hildebrand (SR) will most likely be the top goalie in the B1G and they have the smallest FR class which means they return most of their scoring prowess with a very balanced offensive and physical attack. They split with Mich. and went 1-2-1 against the Gophers.

In returning players scoring, we have David Goodwin (PSU) and...a couple of MI players and Kloos and Fasching within four points. Kloos has as good of a chance to increase scoring as anyone.

I don't see Brodzinski as a stretch for second team either as he'll inherit the QB position which at MN usually means a league leading scoring D...we'll see.

Goodwin benefited last season by playing with Bailey and Holstrom for the bulk of his sophomore campaign, which elevated his ceiling with a 34-point run in 2014-15. Now that they're gone he'll most likely be paired with senior Eric Scheid...totally different storyline.

Not saying Kloos doesn't have a chance, but he's not a multifaceted player like Kyle Rau was either. It depends on who his linemates are...Fasching and ? (hopefully not Cammarata).

Brodzinski obviously can't fill Reilly's skates, so I don't think MG will put high expectations on him at QB. I think we'll see Bischoff, a more stable D as more of a QB this season and run O systems with a view to a more balanced scoring attack than last season.

I prefer Bischoff as #1 PP QB as well.

Cool. I recall reading in the Strib the other day that the TV schedule is not finalized and it's likely that more games will be added.

Re: Minnesota Gophers Off Season Thread 2015

True...UVM didn't lose much from last season except Hoffman their goalie, so there's a concern in net.

Hey guys, wish I could make the trip to Minny but alas not in the cards at this point. Any internet streaming?

Regardless just a quick a note, for us Catamount fans there isn't much concern in net. That's really a media "concern" because otherwise they'd actually have to do some thinking. While Hoffman is a big loss, Santaguida is more then capable going 0.923sv% (better then Hoffman) with a 2.08GAA in 25 games last season.

Can't wait to see how things match up and if the Gophers want to come out kinda rough that first game, well that's OK by me.

Cheers

Lurking counts in my book. I lurked here for quite a while before posting. Same with GPL.

It's a sort of syndicated network (not sure if that is the correct term for it).
Basically, they produce content and it then gets picked up by various regional carriers. Last year their broadcasts were aired on Ch. 23 (I think).

Can't wait to see how things match up and if the Gophers want to come out kinda rough that first game, well that's OK by me.

I'm eager to see myself, although I would be very surprised if MN came out trying to play a rough'n'tumble kind of game.
EDIT: Duh. I just realized you meant rough as in rusty, not rough as in dirty like UND.

...Brodzinski obviously can't fill Reilly's skates, so I don't think MG will put high expectations on him at QB. I think we'll see Bischoff, a more stable D as more of a QB this season and run O systems with a view to a more balanced scoring attack than last season.

I'm with you and MNstateofhockey. At this point I just don't trust Brodz to be the guy on the PP. Maybe that will change as the season goes on, and I'm sure he'll be given some opportunities to prove his consistency, but I agree with your guess that we will see someone a bit more stable out there.

With my November move it Portland it looks like I'll be purchasing a BTN2Go subscription. I was already planning on getting the WCHA subscription as well, and I think the Notre Dame streams are free (?). At least that's what I think I remember from before. So the only games I'll have to go to the bar for are the ESPNews ones.

But what the hell is BTNPlus? Can anyone confirm if that is available via the BTN2Go subscription?

BTN+ is just the paid tier of BTN2Go.
