That was an amazing comeback. Lehr was in a hole, he had 2 just bad goals, then the defense was standing around and they bury a wrap around. Lehr was moving but didn't get there. Getting their first goal really got them fired up. They turned it on in the 2nd period, what a show. I don't know how you coach that, they have to want it and go get it. Warning is playing like he's 6'2", he was hitting everything last night. He's really picked up in the hitting dept. Seniors are playing strong and even Kloos's game has shot up. Boyd has become a standout on this team. You want him to get the puck to see what he's going to do. Like Bonin used to be.

Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

Re: Michigan St @ Minnesota Thursday 2/26 & Friday 2/27
The story tonight was the Gophers played sloppy and out of sync, and MSU played physical and dominated defensively play ALL game for the 4-2 W. Credit Sparty and some solid goaltending from Hildebrand with a well deserved and hard fought forechecking win tonight, outshooting the Gophers 34-24 on 66 attempts vs the Gophers 55 and handing the Gophers their first B1G loss at home this season.
MN committed turnovers, struggled on zone breakouts and couldn't get pucks behind the Michigan State's D to solve the neutral zone trap like last night. Their two way game was non-existent with key players Ambroz, and Boyd at -3, M. Reilly and Bischoff at -2. Losing 3 COp's tonight and the game, dropped the Gophers from #10 to #13 in the PWR putting them in a must sweep situation @ OSU next week if they want to stay relevant in the PWR and B1G standings. If Yale, Mass-Lowell, and St. Cloud win tomorrow night, the Gophers will be teetering dangerously on the PWR bubble.

Having witnessed what UM did to Mich. and basically blowing by MSU for the middle 40 minutes of Thursday's game, I was shocked at how little jump the Gophers had most of the game last night. State seemed to win the vast majority of puck battles. They also won the "dirty goals" battle as well.

Echoing the above. Gophers got out hustled, out worked, out hit, and out skated all night except for a few brief flurries. Spartans really brought it and got a well deserved win. Disgusting non-effort from what should be a well seasoned team.

The Gophers didn't deserve to win this game. For the betterment of the NCAA game they need to ban the trap.Slap Shot - 444 might want to consider a restraining order.
dggoddard - Minnesota is THE ELITE Program in all of college hockey.
wasmania - you have to be the very best to get ice time with the great gophers!
