Re: Minnesota @ Michigan: 1/9 & 1/10
Whether because of injuries, illness or the WJC, Lucia and staff have been forced to shuffle players around for better part of this season thus far. Has this been the reason why the Gophers are not playing up to their talent level? Arguably a main factor has been the sub-par scoring performances by several key players (Ambroz, Boyd, Fasching, Cammarata). But generally speaking, an "attrition factor" involving key players can disrupt a team and confound their collective team chemistry and momentum.
With defenseman Brady Skjei now healthy and cleared for the Michigan series, this marks only the sixth time this season the Gophers will have all their main starters back in the lineup. Having the Gophers at full strength couldn't come at a more opportune time, as they prepare for a B1G second half facing 18 B1G games out of the remaining 20 in the regular season.
The Gophers invade Yost arena this weekend having totaled a 3-3-1 record (exc. U18) over the last 7 games with a goal differential of only +7 (22 GF, 15 GA). Meanwhile, the Ugly Helmets have been much more prolific, downing 6 of their last 7 opponents with an obscene goal differential of +17 (30 GF, 13 GA) and they currently lead the B1G with 3.65 G/game.
Offensively, this series will showcase some interesting individual matchups with the two top points leaders in the B1G, Kyle Rau and Zach Hyman going head to head, along with B1G PP points leader M. Reilly (11) and B1G PP goals leader Alex Kile (6). Defensively I expect Michigan, averaging 15 BLK/G, to block a busload of Gopher blasts from the point, so storming the net with improved shot selection and accuracy this weekend will be especially critical for the Gophers.
The Gophers scoring has been far too dependent on their PP success lately. Now with a full squad, they desperately need to bury plenty of 5 x 5 Gs with only 32 even strength goals this season vs. Michigan's Big Ten leading 48. I anticipate a physical, close checking series with both teams pumping a lot of shots on net. FACT: The Gophers haven't swept a series since Notre Dame in early Nov. Can they pull off a sweep at the Yost...please?
Go Gophers!

Sometimes in life we need a balance. I for one appreciate some fancy facts, and nobody presents them better than HarleyMC! The hatred may now resume...

Re: Minnesota @ Michigan: 1/9 & 1/10
Sorry. Umm...I hate gophers. With their mascot's spinning head and their knowledge of hockey. Also, why do Minnesotans call casseroles "hot dish"? Weirdos.
Oh and all the gopher fans I've met are complete jerks!

it's "Jerks", when talking about Gopher fans the J be must be capitalized.

Hey...notice I did throw in an Ugly Helmets in BOLD, but that's all I got. I suspect I'm probably like many Gopher fans, the rivalry with Michigan isn't anywhere near as intense as with the Whioux and their unique brand of goonery. I guess I've always had a subtle respect for the Michigan hockey program and Red...well, the man is 75 years old, in his 30th year at Mich., 4th in all time wins and will hit another milestone of 800 Ws this season. Gotta respect that, an amazingly resilient coach in anyone's book.
Hey thanks for that D2D. The check is in the mail.

If Ugly Helmets alone were all that mattered, Notre Dame would be our No. 1 rival.

Hey, I resemble that comment. But really, don't you have a coach to impeach or an "atmosphere " to create in your squeak-ball cavern?

University of Michigan
A respectable institution located in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The school mascot is a large variety of weasel known as the wolverine, and the school colors are corn and blue. This institution is characterized by students that truly believe that everyone hates them because they're jealous of their extreme intellectual superiority and athletic talent.
However outside of their "lovely" city/campus/slum, these elitist d0uche bags don't realize that everyone really hates them because (drumroll please)... they are elitist d0uche bags. These students are also characterized by their unfriendly attitude towards outsiders that will ultimately condemn them to a horrible fate of only befriending other fellow U of Mich. cohorts.
Throughout the rest of the state of Michigan, and for that matter the rest of the United States, those who affiliate themselves with U of Mich. are generally looked upon with disdain, pity, or outright disgust because of these unfounded self-righteous attitudes. Their non-student fan base is notorious for having a large amount of red-neck hicks too stupid to get into ANY institution of higher learning, and a student fan base famous for booing their own teams in times of trouble. At times, supporters and students of U of Mich. can become so delusional as to believe that their institution is an Ivy League school, thus inspiring chuckles of patronizing pity from everyone who knows better.
If one has the unfortunate luck of having to meet with a Wolverine supporter or student, one should disregard their truly pointless and pompous speeches about the superiority of this institution, and instead hand them a flashlight in order to help them in their quest of removing their big heads from their rectum.

If all of that makes you feel better, and helps your self esteem level, I guess that's what you need to do.
I'm sorry that you all feel so badly about yourselves, though. Sad.
