  • Minnesota Gophers vs Michigan Wolverines: 2/25-2/26 A big BIG series

    Didn't see a thread so here we go heading into what should be a very fast paced and exciting series to watch. This is obviously a critical and defining series for both teams with three weeks to go looking forward to the BIG season championship and the NCAA playoff picture.

    Michigan will invade Mariucci with the #1 offense in the NCAA courtesy of the CCM line of Kyle Connor, JT Compher and Tyler Motte, the highest scoring line in the NCAA (63-77-140 in 28 games or 5 points/game).

    The Gophers rank #9 in offense and will look to players like Captain Kloos with 10 goals in 11 games with a 9 game point streak, Hudson Fasching with 9 goals in 11 games and leading the team with 18 goals on the season and lightening quick forward Leon Bristedt, who has tripled his goal scoring output from last season with 15 goals and 15 assists.

    Both teams have weaknesses at defense with the Gophers ranked #31 and Wolverines #36. In net, Schierhorn (2.57 GAA, .912 SV%) and Racine (2.80 GAA, .915 SV%) have nearly identical stats.

        Note: ticket prices have been dropped (some significantly) for the rest of the year. SRO is $10 now, instead of $30+, for example. I won't be able to make this series, but am thinking about the WI series in a couple weeks.
        Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

            Where can you find SRO tix for $10? I've been looking for cheaper tix for Thursday's game and fri wisco game.

                Both games are on the BTN.

                Should be a fun series, I always look forward to playing Michigan. They play fast and like to skate up and down the rink like the Gophers, makes for exciting hockey.

                A sweep by either team would probably be enough for the B1G title.

                    I'd be wary of buying tix for this Friday's UW game from Gophersports.com.

                      Tough series to predict. MI potency can not be underestimated. But the Gophers almost always get up for circle em series at home against big name opponents. I feel most comfortable predicting at least one for MN. But even that's not in the bank.

                      With both team's play styles...one thing is guaranteed...this will be the Gophers' most entertaining home series of the year.
                      Go Gophers!

                        What's the over/under on the total number of odd-man rushes over the course of the two games? And how about lone breaks?

                          March 12th I meant..my bad. So with standing room tix, do a lot of them find empty seats if available? How's the standing room view?

                            It is a tough series to predict. Could home ice on the big sheet be an advantage?

                              There have been plenty of seats available. Standing views are as good as they get.
