I can't say I am ever 'satisfied' with a split. I want to see a sweep every week. Maybe 'acceptable', is how I view a road split. But in the case of next week's series, nothing but a sweep is acceptable. One of those weeks where victories don't feel much better than 'relief' they didn't blow it.

There will be opportunities to move up. At least they're in the conversation now. I remember at the beginning of the year I said they'd be better than people think they are. That's starting to happen.

Of course there are those that are stepping up on offense. But I think that a strength of the team right now is depth on defense. Brod and Bischoff have been discussed for some time as solid. But I'm seeing Johnson's game take a big step up...and Glover is looking pretty good too. The D side of the ice doesn't have the star power of Reilly, but if we every shift we've got D that can make plays...depth at the blue line means we're never far from a goal.
Having said that, I'm still a bit nervous about this team's energy when we play a softer team. We might have blown out MSU in either game, but didn't.

Conversely, those teams all playing Minnesota hurts their strength-of-schedule rankings.

I was thinking after going up 4-0 on Friday that the Gophs weren't used to playing with a big lead. Sure enough, they noticeably let up and nearly gave the Spartans a chance to steal it back. Hopefully lesson learned.

I was behind the "let them gel/mature a little" sentiment, maybe not as much as tArrogance requires, but I didn't question that theory at the time. Hopefully this continues.

Now that their mascot has been resigned to the dustbin of history, the Chickenhawks need a new one.

Really? Go back and take another look. One North Dakota poster, with a couple of posts in that thread. How many gopher posters, with how many posts, just in the last couple of days in that thread?
Re: Minnesota Gophers Season Thread 2015-16
That just proves we are everywhere... ready to smack down a hawk when needed.
It's about content, not the number. Pretty sure it wasn't us that kept it going.
