Amanda Kessel -- you can't stop her; you can only hope to contain her. 4 goals and an assist tonight.
Gophers win, 6-3. Box score Game recap from the U.
The only downside was NoDak getting three goals in the third period. They converted on a 5-on-3 power play, scored just after the expiration of the second Gopher penalty in the same sequence, then got a breakaway goal late. Hopefully the Gophs can quell tomorrow any momentum the Whioux got out of that.

Actually 4 goals and 2 assists, and both were first assists at that!

So, when they narrow the POY Award candidates down to 3, which Gopher is not going to make the list?
Ok, its doubtful even if 3 Gophers deserved to be among the Top 3, that 3 Gophers will be among the Top 3. My guess is that Kessel and Raty make it, with Brandt and Bozek among the Final 10. Then I only hope Raty wins it, because Kessel can come back after the Olympics and win it then. Then Brandt the year after that.
One can only dream, right?!
Or am I getting ahead of myself with this kind of thinking, lol?

With the greater depth of talent in women's hockey, it is getting harder to get three into the top ten, let alone the top three, because the votes for players on a single team get split. Because the WCHA has a number of other high-profile candidates like the Lam's, Decker, and Rigsby, those players compete for the same votes. Last night's final few minutes really hurt Noora's case; her teammates didn't give her a lot of support. The perception will be that Noora's numbers are as good as they are in part because she plays behind a great team; IMO, that is true. If Kessel keeps playing like she is, it'll be hard for anyone to have a better case for the top spot.

I would guess they'll get Bozek, Kessel and Raty nominated. ARM, correct me if I'm wrong, but each team gets to nominate three players. If Brandt were to get nominated it would have to be by another team. I think Raty and Kessel will make the top ten with Noora making the top 3. I would like to see both, but that is really hard in the current state of women's hockey.

Among players with remaining eligibility, Kessel and Brandt, also Ramsey, McMillen, and Stecklein have all seen national team camps and are possibilities although probably outside possibilities given the depth of the national team's D corps.
Terry and Davis have both gotten long looks for Canada's U22, but they too are probably long shots for the Canada senior national team.
Former Gophers: Schleper and Marvin, possibly Erickson, West and Schoullis.
Räty and Jalosua for Finland, Bozek for USA among the graduating seniors.

There are some Gopher players that need to write five page essays on "Why Penalties Are Bad" over the next week. After a decidedly mediocre first period today, they looked really good when they stayed out of the box, but there were some really dumb penalties taken. The interference call on Bona was terrible (if there was going to be a penalty it should have gone the other way) and I didn't get a good look at the Kortum penalty, but the rest of them were both dumb and obvious.
Kelly Terry had a tremendous series.

I appreciate the effort you put into your post with the a with the dots thing.

Thanks, but it is not really that big an effort. If you had a player on your team with an a-umlaut (ä) in her name you would probably learn what I did. It is a pretty easy thing to do with a standard windows keyboard. You only have to learn a shortcut, you don't even have to import one of those international keyboards.
Hold down the Alt key and type 132. If for some reason you want to do it in upper case it is Alt 142.
Spelling her name correctly seems like the least I can do when she is the best goaltender in the world.

My thoughts exactly. She's earned that much respect from the Gophers' faithful.

But I'm posting this because Kessel added another 2 goals and 2 assists for a jaw-dropping 10-point weekend.
The aforementioned penalty problems didn't help the Gophers quell UND's momentum until late. Got to get that resolved.Actually 4 goals and 2 assists, and both were first assists at that!
