Sadly, I don't see either of those things happening this time.
    Agreed, if that was going to happen they would have beaten NMU and not gotten swept by both Denver and SCSU.

    There's no turnaround coming and I think everyone knows it.

      Here were the D that played on the 07-08 team that started playing the lock down style late in the year.

      RJ Andersen
      Stu Bickel
      Cade Fairchild
      Derek Peltier
      David Fischer
      Brian Schack
      Kevin Wehrs

      Here is today's lineup.

      Cade Fairchild
      David Fischer
      Kevin Wehrs
      Brian Schack
      Aaron Ness
      Nick Leddy
      Seth Helgeson

      We have 4 of the same D playing on this year's team but I highly doubt they could pull it off.

        The end of the year awards are going to be pretty hollow for this group.

          As far as Schroeder is concerned, it almost appears as though he's checked out for the season and doesn't even wanna be here. His play has been down all season. Last year at this time he had 12 goals, he's got 7 so far. It would be great if he could stay another season, but I think it's hasta la vista baby at season's end in just a few weeks.

          Fairchild has been unexpectedly quiet this year. Last year at this time he had 8 goals. He's got 2 this year so far.

            I bet Schroeder isn't the only checked out in fact I bet we see some sort of mini mass exodus out of Dinkytown/Stadium Village.
            Slap Shot - 444 might want to consider a restraining order.

              Me too. I'd be surprised if he is still attending classes.

                "You know what, for the most part we have played pretty hard and pretty well most nights," Lucia said on Monday during his weekly radio show. "We haven't gotten the results we'd like. Saturday is probably the first game we have played subpar in a while, where we just didn't play well."
                Really?

                      He must have been blind during the games vs SCSU where the team gave the puck away repeatedly.

                        Time to talk about next season!

                        The Gophers will have 7 seven spots to fill for next season. Gophers had 26 on the roster this season, but Lucia said he wants 28 next year. They'll probably be another 2-3 players added to this list before next season. Overall a very good incoming freshman class! Feel better?

                            This is a stellar recruiting class. Ryan Walters had a hat trick in the USHL All Star game and was MVP. Holl, Alt, Isackson, Gardiner, Bjugstad are all Mr. Hockey finalists. Here's a little bit on Jared Larson.

                            It's doubtful Lucia will carry all 11 of the above though. Alt is a maybe, he's still taking football offers and didn't sign early. Justin Holl may be headed for the USHL for a year. There's a good chance Max Gardiner may just make the jump to the Gophers next year, but not 100% sure. Christian Isackson may be headed to the USHL as well. Rumor has it there may be a walk-on or two with a shot at a roster spot.

                              I thought I heard Walters may be headed for Juniors for another year as well. And no one really knows if Youso is really coming or not.

                                I am betting Alt plays football. I am also fine with that. We definitely don't need any players that aren't sure if they want to play hockey. Seems as though we have enough of those.
