  • Re: Minnesota Golden Gopher Season 2019-2020: Motzko 2.0

    A lot of positives to take from that game. They never lacked hustle, they overcame some godawful officiating (including a very solid job on the PK), they played excellent team defense and seem to be settling in on stabilizing their line combos. For such a young team (youngest in the country according to the broadcast) the fact the defense is playing so well is very encouraging. Obviously the offense and PP need significant work, but the foundation imho is there. Thank goodness for BTN games because so far they're the only games I've found a way to watch.

      Yeah, no fooling! I was gonna comment on this last night after two but that would have meant getting up for something other than food or beer.

        IMHO they have been the team's best line for three games in row. All three are showing a nice combo of skill and grit and my man crush on Perbix just continues to grow.

          Great weekend for the Gophers, only gave up one point to a very good U-Mi team.
          Sammy Walker rowing the boat after his first goal was outstanding!

            I believe that was McManus, but you're right it was outstanding!

                That's PJs mantra...Motzko needs to get his own. Any ideas?? Steer your moped?

                  There was a great video of the hockey players watching the end of the game and they went nuts when MN made the pick.
                  Heard Coyle on the radio this morning, he said he was getting text messages from all The U's coaches after the game. The Row The Boat culture is permeating the campus and athletic programs and it's pretty **** cool IMHO.

                    I mentioned this on GPL....

                    The hockey team is like the Borg from Star Trek Next Generation: learn, adapt, dominate. We've seen the adapting in the tUMD series, and now the MI series.....

                      The forwards need to do more in the defensive end, on a more consistent basis. Still too much standing around and not doing enough to help cover open guys.

                        They better row that boat back this weekend with Penn St. Conditioning, grit and more cowbell. For the sixth season in a row the Happy Valley bunch lead the nation in SOGF/GP. That's gotta be a record. Someone should check their water bottles.

                          GAMEDAY! First away game of the season for the Nittany Pups. Over last two seasons, Gophers are 2-8 against Penn St. Time to break that trendline.

                          Motzko's game plan: Backcheck, hard forecheck, be physical, box out, improve a declining PP%, puck support, score first, hold the lead, carb up and skate your *** off all weekend. LaFontaine and Moe will see a lot of pucks. Any predictions?

                                If the team does everything that Bob is telling them to do I predict 10-0 Gophers.
