  • Re: Minnesota Golden Gopher Season 2018-2019: Fire Motzko

    Just wanted to say as an impartial observer that I think the penalty call in OT was complete BS. I was also impressed by the passion that Bob showed after the goal. I loved the lip reading on the B10 feed. I also heard he got into it downstairs with the head of officiating--shows his passion and dedication. I felt like you guys were playing well down the stretch and deserved a fair chance to get into the tourney. It was painful to watch your season get blown up by such a bad call. That should not happen ever!
    Go Pioneers!

      Thanks for your kind words, MagnessMan. Obviously an extremely tough way to end the season, but we Gopher fans are optimistic about the future of the team with Bob leading the way. And best of luck to your Pioneers in the tourney.

        After seeing a full season I agree.
        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!

          I don't think you should be frustrated, it's his first year, it's going to take a few of his classes to get things going. Him and Pearson are proven D1 coaches, they both will figure it out. The jury is still out on Granato.

Given the parity of today's hockey landscape, the odds were not in their favor. I am more optimistic about next year, provided Robson stays for his senior season.

              Love that the wild got him. But I think this sets the Gophers back a step or two. He was a tremendous college goalie.

                      Huh?

                      We have a number of goalies coming in. We're going to pull in a kid from the same program Robson came out of up in Canada. Among others.

                        I'm not actually terribly worried about it. Just odd when everyone at a position is leaving.

                          Isn't everyone who's on the team "at a position"? And obviously they aren't all leaving...so it's not all that odd!

                          But sad about Robson, as he was arguably the team's most important player this year.

                            I assume that is the best possible thing for him. He signed a NHL contract after 2 years on the Gophers. If you can promise that to every goalie prospect, you are going to get some real good kids. I mean, I really wanted him to stay, but getting a NHL contract had to be his goal, after all. He has his chance at the big time, it is up to him to succeed from here.

                            The reason for the talent in the west? Because MN didn't rely on Canada.

                              Agree 100%, you certainly can't begrudge or fault him for leaving and chasing a dream. I was just speaking from a pure fan's perspective, that he will be sorely missed because he meant so much to the team.

                              I wish him nothing but the best.
