She's probably not gone. She just went on another one of her extended European vacations since she doesn't need to work.
 
MSU won by about half an inch last night. In OT BU got a shot off that went by Augustine, but was swept away by a defenseman as it was crossing the line. MSU then went down and scored to win 4-3. Overhead cam showed the puck was just about as close as it could get without crossing.
 
How do you put 24 shots on goal, the opposing goalie(s) have 16 saves, and only score 5 goals? Did the gophers block 3 of their own shots? UND also has a missing phantom goal. Maybe fewer "shots" for the scorekeeper are in order.
You’re misreading the stats sheet.

UNDies had 24 shots, Gophers had 23 saves.

Gophers had 21 shots on goal, the UNDies made 16 saves.

Final score was 5-1.
 
So preface this that I don't watch any other hockey than basically home games and some NHL on TV.

But watching some fun YT NHL videos, I see that there's a lot more emphasis on two way forwards, even for the most elite scorers...

Now that there is a nice shift to the NCAA pipeline for the NHL, does anyone thing this is forcing coaches to develop their top talent to be better two way players than in previous seasons? So that they can demonstrate that the coach is a real pipeline to a quick NHL appearance?

The reason I'm asking this is that there has been a pretty clear shift in how Michigan's top forwards are playing. Like significantly more emphasis on defensive play that I've not seen, well, ever. And then I thought about what some of the NHL channels I'm entertained by are saying about what the NHL currently wants for players.

Do any of you see this on your team, too?

Muckalt has Tech playing more uptempo, but there was not really another direction to go considering Shawhan had us playing 1-1-3 or 0-1-4 when up a goal. :rolleyes:
