Minnesota Gophers 2021-2022

UM has now had three Patty Kaz winners, and Taylor is the first to win as a senior, but a senior with eligibility remaining.

Great news. Anything definite on Heise?

I think it is a safe assumption that both Heise and Boreen will be back. The Gophers have always done a pretty good job marketing their program and I’m guessing they are spreading out the returning player announcements to keep hyping the program in the news during this dead time.

I think it's working! < Big Grin >
 
More twitter: Norcross and Oden both returning for another season. Of those eligible only Boreen and Skaja have not yet been tweeted as returning (with the exception of Potomak who is returning to western Canada for her final college hockey season).
 
Seems like I saw or heard something that Skaja was coming back...

The Gophers potentially have a lot of forwards (16?) next year if everyone comes back besides #16 and the addition of 3 freshmen forwards. Maybe one or both of Kaiser and Franco can play defense if needed?

Do they need more D? Hengler, Ostertag, Wethington, Nicholson, Dunne, Zumwinkle, Laitinen. On GPL, Franco was listed with the D, but it seems like we can't dress any more than these, if all are back and healthy.

#6 coming back from knee surgery, #14 coming back from hip surgery. Some questions there.

They could use more speed and quickness on D.

From what I've seen, I'd say that Ostertag, Zumwinkle, and Laitinen are the most mobile. Still, I don't see some converted forward coming in and displacing Wethington, Hengler, nor Nicholson at this stage.

Let me know if you hear any rumors that LaMantia is going to transfer to the "U" so that I can invest heavily in "thinner" futures.

You know I'd be good with #5 seeing less ice time...

No LaMantia yet but another high profile sinner is in the portal.

This comment is perplexing.

As good as she is, she can't play left and right defense at the same time which is what you guys need lol.

The only reason I can imagine LaMantia transferring is she graduates in May, and would have some specific grad program in mind at the school she's headed to. Otherwise, I sincerely doubt it.

Why would ARM just throw a name out there like that considering his status in the world of women's college hockey? He's not going to start a rumor about a specific player just to poke a Badger or 2.

Given I attended one game each of the last two seasons, my status would likely be something like "MIA fan."

It is sort of like how you randomly include "Watts" in place of words that are not "what is", "what was", or even "what", like you're some SEO bot. I felt that we were not achieving our quota of thinner jokes. If that means that the defender whose name I dropped will be scarred for life by the knowledge that I considered her to be UW's best blueliner last year, then I'm sorry, but only a little.
