My preference is Leveille. Both nights. And if she does nothing in Duluth to radically alter my perception of whether or not she can stop the puck and control the rebounds my preference going forward would be that she gets both nights against Wisconsin.
Everyone has an opinion. That is mine.

I don't know that I have a preference in the goaltending situation. If I was going to play Leveille for both games of a particular weekend, I'd be more likely to do it against the Badgers rather than the Bulldogs.
Before I found out that Peters was starting against Penn State, I commented that if she didn't start against the Nittany Lions then we wouldn't see her until the Bemidji State series at the earliest. But since she did start the opener, all bets are off.

OK, I'll admit that expectations for Leveille were high. But, other than the last game, perhaps, I think everyone will agree that she met those expectations, and then some. So I pose this question, to fellow GWH "couch potato fans" out there, how would you approach the goaltending situation, beginnng this weekend in Duluth, and then going forward? If Frosty decides in advance to give each of them a starting assignment in Duluth, to what extent will their relative performance affect who will/should get the nod in Madison, and then in games after that?

I'd like to see Peters get a start in Duluth. I would probably start Leveille in both games in Madison.

Re: 2014-2015 Minnesota Women's Hockey: The Maroon & Gold Strike Back!
I agree with both statements
Leveille has the experience, but Peters has an advantage in her favor, she seems like the Rock of Gibraltar in goal whereas as Leveille is easily pushed around and is often knocked off her skates. Last year at one point she looked like a turtle trying to roll over and get back up. I’m pretty sure it was against UMD and I’d be willing to bet it was intentional, it happened twice. You can pretty much bet UMD is going to take a run at her. This is something she needs to address and her team as well. The nice thing is this freshman class of forwards is a departure from the past in size, and you can add Flug & Wolfe to that as well. Rogers in particular should be an effective weapon against the Bulldogs.
that would seem like an attractive plan, but if Peters follows up her initial performance with another good one against UMD, I'd be tempted to give her a start against the Badgers as well

Coach's decision is the official word. Frost usually uses something like, "nicked up," for injury related.
Re: 2014-2015 Minnesota Women's Hockey: The Maroon & Gold Strike Back!
Random thoughts about this past weekend:
1. In the PSU pregame interview, Dan asked about Brad’s plans for the goalies this year. Sounded like the intent is for 29 to be the primary keeper and 37 to get some time as well.
2. Dan had Sidney Peters as his guest between periods in the BU game. Sounds like she is quite smart and taking a heavy class load for her pre-med program. She seemed to think the redshirt year really helped from an academic standpoint.
3. The comments about season tickets (and season ticket holders) in this thread would have been accurate if the only two options were season tickets and GA. However, with the pick-your-packs and single game ticket sales, some reserved seats will show as unavailable for season ticket purchase even though they will be empty a number of games. Here’s hoping the Rivalry Day ticket package brings in a bunch of new fans.
4. I see Mandy Hansen was the timekeeper for the games this past weekend. Does that mean the in-game blog she used to do has gone the way of the goal judges? I also keep looking for the video highlights that used to show up after each game. Did that fall victim to the switch to BTN for video coverage?
5. We saw MM on the bench in street clothes during warmups Saturday, so we were pretty sure we could rule out ebola as the reason she wasn’t playing. Hope to hear she's in the lineup this weekend.

Mandy does a lot of things, but being the timekeeper isn't one of them, so that would be an error. My guess is that there will be a blog at some point, maybe even at Duluth this weekend.

Re: 2014-2015 Minnesota Women's Hockey: The Maroon & Gold Strike Back!
A lot of people think Noora Raty didn't play her best in the post season through her sophomore season. She especially wanted redemption after the 4-1 loss to BC in the quarterfinals her sophomore year. She thought that was one of her worst games.
Point being, don't write off Amanda Leveille.
But I also think Frost will play Peters this season and she could be pushing Leveille as the season goes on. It will be interesting.

hopefully you will win that bet so you can use your winnings to enroll in a remedial reading course.
the question wasn't what you thought Frost is going to do, it's what you would do.
So unanimous consensus (so far) by “the couch potato fans ” that they would start Leveille both games in Madison but give Peters a start in Duluth is writing Leveille off?

Might be kind of late in the big scheme of things but personally I like the changes to the arena murals.
The Olympians mural just pretty obviously got way too large for its previous location. The current mural can maybe be worked on a bit (I personally don't like Wendell way off to one side, she deserves to be near the center) but overall the new presentation is a nice look at the Americans and Finns who have played for the Gophers and also for their national teams in the Olympic Games.
The All-Americans mural additions are a bit less prominent of a change but the new pictures fit in well with what was there before.
The former location of the Olympians looks like a work in progress site to me. Reciting number of NCAA championsips, All-Americas etc. is just a rehash of information otherwise available somewhere else on one of the walls of the arena. I am hoping that pretty soon someone will come up with something new.
Overall, thumbs up.
It is fabulous to have that much significant history to display on the walls of your home arena.
Go Gophers.

Not really a 2014-2015 article, but something fun worth posting.

The article indicates Menefee is still sidelined for this weekend.
