Gophers versus OSU game hasn’t started broadcasting yet on Flo even though the game has started. Anyone seeing it on BTN+??
It started at maybe 5:20 Central time. Yes, I am getting it on BYNPlus. Minn up 1-0. Amy Potomak with a solo highlight reel goal, "upper 90" "bar down" etc.
You’re on to something and, if you’re Crowell, you have to be feeling pressure from Muzz. Muzz came in a year after Crowell (I think) and has improved OSU tremendously with a similar quality roster.
Crowell "did" well in her first couple years because she inherited a great first line...Stalder, Brykaliuk and McGovern. They were often magical to watch with their synergy being as great as it was.
And even though there are some talented scorers on this team they aren't highly prolific scorers like the three that I just mentioned. UMD has 3 in the top 50. I just checked and was surprised to see that UW only has 3 in the top 50 as well but that 3 are also in the top 6. So, more scoring punch, regardless of how you get it is always a benefit and this team didn't have enough this year even with decent goaltending. Now, would that have changed if they never had to deal with their Mr. Hyde this season?...who knows?, maybe. But we'll never know.
It sounds like there is a decent freshman class coming in next season but it's only the exceptional scorers who make a huge difference in their first year. And, Rooney will be lost to graduation as well.
We'll have to see if Crowell can improve upon this disappointingly mediocre season which I would guess can't be contributing overly to her job security.

Flosports finally started broadcasting with about 12 minutes left in the first period. Irritating!
