But only a split against Bemidji State. The Gophers were actually lucky they held on for the win in the first game. BSU kept the pressure on the entire 3rd period.

The sweep pushed them up to #2 in the pairwise as they keep playing some great hockey. Other than running into a couple of hot goalies earlier, they have only lost twice going into the final weekend until the break. Next weekend should be a tough one with Michigan State and a bunch of guys out with injury.

We quit attacking and just dump the puck in without any forecheck and let them regroup for a full ice rush while we try to play defense. Can't play that way for an entire period and expect to win!

The Gophers had taken control in the second and had a 2 goal lead and the momentum going into the 3rd and then face planted.

Motzko is Woog 2.0. Recruit top players, pile up a good season and go belly up in the post season.

The Gophers are more disappointing. I had no expectations of the Wild to begin with.

Motzko was so badly out coached in the 2023 title game it was embarrassing. He had one of the most talented college rosters ever assembled. He was so afraid of RPI's neutral zone trap that he wouldn't let his team play their game. All game long, it was one forechecker and two guys staying up high.

It was getting to a point where he couldn't recruit and they weren't drawing when winning.......even Bob saw the writing on the wall. It seems mutual.

Maybe it'll be people who are currently assistants at the pro level somewhere. Whoever - these two programs deserve top notch coaches to get them back to prior levels.

I thought it was Quinnipiac?

Didn't draw? He saved the program!! Attendance was pitiful until he arrived.

It's gonna be the Augustana men's coach.

Maybe my cousin's kids will be in maroon & gold next year?

If you go back even farther they averaged at least 10k a game. The attendance wasn't that great with Bob---he started in the 2018-19 season.
