Good time for a little break from WCHA play I'd say. Mend those bumps & bruises...recharge the batteries a little. Then on to All Seasons.

Meanwhile...current 3rd & 4th place teams could be jumpin' into the fray.

Aside from the actual equipment, confidence is the biggest asset for goaltenders.

If you have two quality goaltenders and both are playing well it is a cinch to maintain the confidence level of them both.

If you have three quality goaltenders and one of them advances to a position of preeminence, that is probably good for the team. But probably not so good for the confidence of the other two goalies.

In this case such a goalie is not mentally ready to face competition in order to be number one choise between the pipes. Mentally not ready affects on your performance. Goalie can not be afraid or worried how he / she is doing. This way every single shot is mentally tough. And finally such a goalie never reaches the steady level required. Confidence is mostly a built in gift and partly increased by solid game perfomances.

From the WCHA thread...

Looking ahead to this weekends action:

Minnesota @ Minnesota State

Gophers need to shake off their last series. I'm sure they've been working on just that.

Road trip time. Gotta stop by Pagliai's in downtown Mankato for some 'zza before Friday night's game.

I'll be there. Can't stay for Saturday's game, though... Got some football back at "The Bank".

Here are the Gopher game notes.

And for anyone interested in the opposing point of view, here are the brief Maverick game notes.

Sure hope to see the Gophers rebound this weekend, starting with tonight's game. As we've seen all season, most recently with the Wayne State-Wisconsin game, upsets are happening all over the place this year, and happening with such frequency that you can no longer call any one game result an upset.

You'd still have to consider the Gophers favorites in this one, but this year you just never know what's going to happen - especially true, it seems, when one of more WCHA team is involved.

Cat's outta the bag eh. Looks like a very good group.

I've only seen the local girl play. Thought I saw Turgeon listed at 5'10" elsewhere.

I took a look at the article again, and it has Turgeon listed as 5'10". Go figure.

Agree with you on the appearances. I'll be very interested in seeing how they do. Glad to have them aboard.

Re: Golden Gopher Women's Hockey 2009-2010

No Joy?

Looks like the MSU vs UMN is only available on audio tonight on Gold Zone. Nothing on Big Ten network.

Anyone have other suggestions (short of driving down tonight?

We'll be there Saturday for sure!
