I hadn't heard that she was having hip problems. If she doesn't resurface anywhere else and her hockey playing days are over, then that could very well be it.
FWIW, she's still listed on the roster. I don't remember her dressing this season except in the exhibition versus British Columbia, even when Scobee was injured and not dressed, so that suggests that she hasn't been available.
She missed (six?) games due to injury. How much that hampered her directly beyond those games I don't know. It seems to have contributed to some drop in confidence if nothing else.
Yes, but the last two points on Saturday came with Wente, not Heise, so I'm not entirely sure what the lines will be going forward. I'm hoping that we're back to what we saw on Friday, but who knows.
While it is true that we see that happen fairly often, IMO, they manage that situation quite well. Both 25 and 28 are good at starting a cycle along the wall while waiting for reinforcement, and 12 can circle the net or cut across the slot to buy time. Another strength is that all three catch up to the play very well. Conversely with Pannek's current line, it seems that 7 and 20 are attacking the net and 19 isn't quite there yet, so nobody is in position to capitalize on the rebound or loose puck.
They tried that at one point, albeit for a short while. My memory is that there were reasons why we haven't seen it since then.
Terrible turnover at the offensive blue line that led the breakaway goal by Beebe. Overall I do think the Gophers are playing pretty well, but unfortunately the good play has been interrupted by mistakes all too often.... and it's not just the forwards and goalies, they seem to shuffle the D pairs even more, but then maybe I'm just missing what is going on, I try not to watch them to avoid seeing all those bad decisions they make
It wasn't very good when the Gophers scored six goals in November, but was much better the next day when they were held to two. Luckily, the Beavers had trouble hitting the net in the second game.
