I may have said this before but the Daily's Megan Ryan has been doing a very nice job covering the team all year. And thank you CrazyDave for posting this one!

She's only been covering GWH for a couple of weeks. The previous reporter is doing a semester at sea.

ARM, thanks for setting me straight! I just appreciate any coverage GWH gets, given the tremendous success it's had, especially this season. IMO they are still getting shortchanged in the more traditional Twin Cities media outlets.

Perk "tweeted" earlier tonight that all four local news / sports TV outlets had done at least a brief story on the awesome GWH teams season and the heightened challenge ahead this weekend with no shortage of motivation for either combatant. I only saw Maxxi's piece on CCO.

Their streak was discussed during the Minnetonka at Wayzata boys' game on FSN last night. It would be nice if they could be televised occasionally as boys' HS hockey is, but at least acknowledging the Gophers' existence is a step in the right direction.

Didn't get to watch the game but did listen. Sounded like except for a few minutes in the second the ladies played really good hockey. We got lucky with some outstanding goal tending at the end with that 6 on 3. I'm staring to feel like a spoiled hockey fan! #spoiledhockeyfan #33wins

I'm not exactly broken-hearted either, despite what some think ...;)

Actually, as much as I hate to see the Gophers lose (in general, not just in relation to this streak), I kind of wish they'd get it out of the way before the postseason.

I don't get the feeling that the players view it as any type of ball and chain that they have to drag around at this point. They do very well as frontrunners.

True. But I could also see them using a loss as motivation to not let it happen a second time.

This is another one of those cases where I think the psychology of a particular team is both complicated and unknowable. It's not just that some teams play better as front runners and others would need to lose to improve their postseason chances. It's that no one, fans, coaches or players, really have any idea which it is in their own case. It's the kind of thing that's only obvious in retrospect.

So I intend to root for them every night.
