Thats the question with Gopher Hockey, always.
Other programs have to see this team and go .. "please, please, don't take this game seriously"
Speed up the wazoo (when they want to show it)
Size at every position (if they need it)
Skill everywhere (see above)

Waiting on results now, but a co-championship seems possible.

Come on guys, finish them off quick in this overtime period.

But it's all good in the end. They need to rest up for tomorrow.

Flashbacks to the mid 2000s .....
We're so damn good we refuse to do anythingn unless its absolutely perfect.
Dont ask me to advance the puck ugly .... wait for me to get it on my stick perfectly, so I can fire it perfectly, or else, i simply won't do anything. 
Their goalies a stud.
Duh. make him move.
He's 6 foot 2 and 225. There are no holes to shoot it thru him. Fire it, attack the rebound, and make him move.
We're very lucky to escape that trap.
Was there ever anything more inevitable than them getting that equalizer late? It felt INEVITABLE
And of course Helgeson had to go back to being "shaky helgeson" at the worst time ...

A wins a win.
Welcome to the WCHA playoffs
But if you aren't willing to get more greasy than you were tonight, don;t bother showing up from here out. Nothings pretty this time of year. Get greasy.

Status: offline 		After fullfilling my lifelong dream to coach at both the X and Mariucci ... my one observation is ...
The Mariucci ice surface is (seems) MASSIVE.
We've played on Olympic-sized before, but theres something about that one that seems crazy-wide and crazy-long.
Speed is vital there. I think its overlooked, the fact that styles need to change from one rink to the other.

Hopefully it was a good wake up because you are 100% right.

Status: offline 		Wow, hockey is a funny game. I watched most of the game last night (Beaver fan here) just to see how bad it would be. It was worse than I thought it would be, and somehow the game goes to OT. The U deserved to win that game about 7-1. I don't know of any other sport where one team can outplay another team so badly and still almost lose.

You guys are right on about the ice size. Although the Gophers outplayed the Beavers last weekend, it was much more competitive than last night. The Gophers speed on that Olympic ice just carves us up. It looks like after this weekend I'll be a Gopher fan for the rest of the year!

Status: offline 		I can't tell if the Gophers are just a bit off but Bemidji went up 1-0 on a power play goal. End of the first and they couldn't tie it up. Crud.

Come on guys. Come out in the 2nd period with a vengeance.

In the meantime, the women finished their second overtime. Crossing my fingers for them. After the undefeated season they can't lose now!
