Ambroz had a huge weekend to help complete the sweep of Bucky in their first Big 10 action. If this team could ever get their power play going they could be real dangerous as the season goes on.

Isn't this break between games a little longer than usual?

We've waited for, what, a month to see bad hockey? Clearly the Gophers took Colgate for granted. The first period they played as if they were just killing time out there and by the time they figured out that Colgate came to actually play the Gophers had lost the entire first period.

Now they're down 2-1 and still can't seem to put on the power. Yawn. Maybe Guetzel can't rally the troops when the Big Don is out of town.

Whoa! Raus got 100 career points?
That's a huge number for what seems like a kid yet.
He's been one of the best recruits lately. We've gotten our moneys worth out of that gamer.

Now they just lost in the shootout. I think it comes down to the lackadaisical start and they paid the price. No way they should have lost at home to Colgate.

Stop taking a month off too. Who designed THAT schedule?

I can't believe we just lost to a school where one can major in toothpaste.

Gopher basketball and then Gopher hockey - both losing at home in games they should have won.

Typical. Reference back to the other conversation about being a fan of Minnesota teams.

As we discussed earlier this season, losing a shootout doesn't really matter, right? It's still a tie and a point. Or is it different in a tourney game?

Anyway, I guess that means they go to the 3rd place game....so that's not good.

Pretty pathetic to not win a game that should be a gimme.

Would have been awesome to see Ferris St. vs Minnesota tonight in a battle for #1 in the country.

Now I imagine Ferris St. has the #1 ranking locked up if they don't collapse tonight.

Yes, only conference play for a SO loss.

So the Big 10 will use the same confusing point system as the NHL? I hate that, especially for college hockey. But I guess I would REALLY hate if they just call a shootout loss a straight loss and no points. Is that what they're doing? There are only 2 games every week. If you go on the road and play well enough to earn a tie in both games, you should feel good about it. But if you lose the shootout both games, you're gonna feel like it was a loss (need clarification on the point system). I can see shootouts in the NHL (but not necessarily like it) when you have a long season and things will probably even out or you can go out and play 2 or 3 more times that week and try to win in regulation. But in college hockey there are fewer games and shootouts are so different than regular hockey, I think it's just wrong to put so much stock into how they turn out. Makes the rest of the game seem so forgotten.

Edit: Found it.

Taylor Cammarata (New York Islanders) led a potent night for freshmen when he got Minnesota (11-2-2, 2-0-0-1 Big Ten)

So the Big 10 is on its own point system, which is different than the NCAA. Stupid. I really despise the X-X-X-X record system.

It's just a trial system for this year. They choose the Big10 and the NCAA willl see how it goes. They said that if all goes well they will roll it out across the board next year.

That's when I quit following the NHL. Maybe just a coincidence, but I don't think it completely is.

Will the Big 10 have a tournament after the regular season is over? If so, do all 6 teams make it with the top 2 teams getting a bye?

3 vs 6
4 vs 5
1 vs worst seeded winner
2 vs best seeded winner
Championship

Gophers are looking good so far (from what I've seen). Lots of shots, but no goals yet.

YES! Gophers score immediately to begin the 2nd period. 2-1 lead. We need this win.

Gophers still #1.

SCSU is #2.

The two best teams in the nation are within 70 miles of each other. I sure hope they don't stick them in the same side of the bracket in the NCAAs. How sweet would it be to see these 2 Minnesota teams meet in the National Championship game?

Am I getting ahead of myself?

Colgate is receiving votes after beating Minnesota and Ferris State over the weekend.
