Maybe you should look at Red Berenson. He has plenty of FF experience, and he'd make MJ look downright young by comparison.
It took you a week to come up with that?

courtesy of Menards or Farm & Fleet?
Nobody wants the UW men's team to win more than me, I miss the days you could go to the UW ticket office Friday morning and buy tickets for that nights women's game against the Gophers.

I'm a Fleet Farm guy, though now they are not family owned anymore like Menards is, so I am wavering. On the one hand I'd rather give my money to a WI company than a global hedge fund. Plus Menards sponsors some of my favorite racecar drivers. But I hate the layout of a Menards vs Fleet, and Fleet is my favorite place for fishing supplies. As you can see I am rather conflicted.

Correct, Also of note several of them sustained concussions. Alarm bells should be going off for the league with the amount of concussions.

Which is interesting in the context of the interviews of the YHH girls player of the year finalists (see them here)
There were asked numerous questions but the one that caught my attention was "if you could change one rule in (girls) hockey what woud it be?" Every one of them except Sydney Langseth answered allow checking and one even said checking and fighting.

It's interesting when it is a goalie advocating checking. Maybe it's a case of, "knock them down before they can shoot?"

A dominant performance by the Gophers eventual forged through some resistance from the hockey gods.
Earlier today and elsewhere on this forum TTT gave an lol at the end of a calculation of odds for St. Cloud winning the WCHA tournament and ARM responded.
Just 31 seconds later Scobee got caught sliding the wrong direction for the equalizer and then shortly thereafter seemed completely screened and SCSU led 2-1 after just 3:17. It took the Gophers more than 43 minutes of game time before order was restored. A power play goal by APotomak was the strike that finally restored the lead to the home team.
SCSU competed hard throughout but the Gophers were too good and the final was 4-2.
On to Saturday.

After the first 24 seconds of the game handed the Gophers a 1-0 lead the gods took offense.If that "lol" offends the hockey gods, I will hunt you down, no matter what state you try to hide in.

As is often said, it's very hard to end an opponent's season, and this game reminded me of that adage. We'll see what transpires tomorrow...
Except for the first goal allowed, which was a softie right after the opening whistle, St. Cloud's goaltender Emma Polusny kept her team in there for most of the game until the dam finally broke when Amy Potomak scored the game winner 6 minutes into the third. Gotta give lots of credit to the Huskies for making the Gophers work and compete, maybe harder than what they were expecting, at least initially, but they eventually rose to the occasion and finished the game with a 4-2 decision and a decisive 56-18 advantage in shots on goal.

My fears about Scobee were coming true in the first few minutes last night. Panicked movement, not seeing the puck...But she pulled it together.
Minnesota's first line can be very dominating with puck possession and generating scoring chances...They can also be very good at NOT scoring given the plethora of chances they generate.

Re: Minnesota Gophers 2019/2020 Season Thread
I would give Polusny a pass on that first goal from what I saw. It looked like the puck was going to slide wide until it bounced/hit a rut and redirected just inside the post. I also think the 56 shots is a low count. How many did they have from 3 inches away in those scrums in the paint? I wasn't comfortable about the outcome until just before the final buzzer.
I heard in the stands that Wente is out for the remainder of the season. We need to get Skaja back soon.

Re: Minnesota Gophers 2019/2020 Season Thread
I asked about the two of them collectively last night, and the answer was that they're not close. If 28 is indeed done for the year, then I hope that 3 is at least a less severe version of not close.
