Re: Minnesota @ Wisconsin: 1/20 & 1/21
Is there any way we can get Frank Mazzocco and Bill Howard together to call these games - just for old times sake? At least each team would have one guy pulling for them in the booth that way.

Buck the Fadgers.
Might have to get me some Premo this weekend, for old time's sake. And then watch the beatdown that MN gives WI.

The Gophers should sweep, but if not the players at least know they will be out of that sorry excuse for a state by Sunday a.m.
BDTR!

6er's of Alaskan err thinner: check. Hate: check. Tickets for Saturday night: check.
Wisconsin may give up 10 goals this weekend but they could also score 12 and make us very happy.
What was it the D used to tell Jim Carey? "Hold em' to three and we'll win"...I'd love to see some of that swagger emerge with G2O's squads.
Maybe Duane Derksen and say Kelly Fairchild, Paul Ranheim or Steve Tuttle could come back and give the boys a quick pep talk. Fly in Mellanby and CUJO as well. This series will be a great barometer of uw's progress.Last edited by solovsfett; 01-16-2017, 02:37 PM.

Re: Minnesota @ Wisconsin: 1/20 & 1/21
I assume there will be a shortage of paint thinner due to the packers, but I expect an easy sweep.

Originally posted by D2D View PostThe Gophers received some terrible news following Saturday's game against Michigan: center Tommy Novak will miss the rest of the season due to injury. While there are bodies available to fill the hole I'm concerned that his absence will have a negative impact on the chemistry we've seen develop since just before the winter break. After a lot of early season line-juggling Minnesota's coaches have settled in with a top line of Pitlick/Kloos/Sheehy with Novak anchoring the second line. Although I would expect the first line to remain intact it remains to be seen how lines 2-4 will be put together. Coming off a hat trick on Saturday, Vinni Lettieri has been very effective at his right wing position on Novak's line, but I wonder if the coaches will now decide to move him to center where he's had some previous experience? If I recall correctly the last time he played center was back in early November against North Dakota. Another option would be to slide current third line center Mike Szmatula up to the second and then patching up lines three and four with whatever works best in practice this week.
Of course injuries are an unfortunate part of the game and teams have to adjust. It's just too bad this one is serious enough to cause such a good player like Novak to miss almost a half season, coming at a time right before the Gophers play a much-improved opponent in Wisconsin, a team that's coming off a series sweep over Michigan State and will again have home ice advantage vs. the Gophers.
Given the circumstances I'd be OK with a split in this one.
