Minnesota Gophers 2022-23

[D2D]

Confirmation of all returning Gophers (everybody!) who have remaining eligibility. This team should have no problem scoring goals - in bunches - against most teams. Questions exist in the goaltending position and in building a solid team defensive core.

Everybody... except Amy Potomak?

Everybody... except Amy Potomak?

It was evident that she had some frustrations with her linemates at time. Maybe there were things we don't or can't know about that happened in the locker room or at practice. Watching the PHF games one can see how team play can beat individual heroics. When you get penalized as much as Amy was, you add more stress to the other players who need to cover your absence.
Best wishes for Amy, and hoping to see the US play against her in the international competitions.

I was just pointing out that "everybody" isn't quite everybody.

Maybe she’s been deleted from the 21/22 roster.

Potomak's departure back to Canada was publicized a couple of months ago. The article I posted the link to was all about who's returning.

Ice Garden top 25 players under 25 years of age:

Number 20: Josefin Bouveng

Number 17: Grace Zumwinkle

Number 16: Nelli Laitinen

Number 13: Taylor Heise

They are only down to 11, top ten still to come.

The Pens need to fire Kessel, she single handedly lost the series for them.

Time to lay off the thinner, Tim. < wink >

I read a tweet that Ridder is getting shrunk to NHL size. I had no idea it was Olympic sized to begin with. Will that hurt home ice advantage or help them since most of the away rinks are that sized anyway.

Ridder at 200' x 85' is already NHL sized. Plan are moving ahead for the "3M Arena at Mariucci" (next door) to be downsized from the current 200' x 100' to 200' x 90' (same as Kohl).

That makes sense, the Tweet was a little confusing. Ridder getting other upgrades from Watts I saw.

I saw that a cheese head excluder was being developed and may be instituted for the 2022-2023 season.

If I ever went to a UW game @ UM, I would not wear my cheesehead. I would probably pick a Natty hat. I think not the one from the NE Natty either....

UW is at UM 2/11 & 2/12. Maybe I'll finally get there this year, nothing in the way that weekend (hopefully not $7.00 gas), of course not putting snow tires on might freak some of you our LOL.
