Dumba playing with Hunt
Menell with Suter
Dumba -3

Boring game. Garbage goals and not a lot of flow. Our old nemesis Kane gets the Hatty. Wild 36% in the faceoff circle.

There has been no better broadcast of College Hockey than Frank and Doug. There has been no coach/player/broadcaster who loved hockey more and loved the Gopher Hockey program more than Doug Woog. No one other than the coaching staff and players were happier that the Gophers won the title than Doug ...

Sad day for Minnesota Hockey. RIP Wooger.

Great Tournament. Who is the favorite this year?

It may have been a case of trying to do to much.

I remember Fiala before he broke his Tibia. You would watch him and say this kid is going to be good. Then when the Wild traded Granland for him he wasn’t putting up good numbers and people were saying WTH. Then he shows up late for camp and early in the year is a turnover machine, gets a chance to ...

CM never liked to play defense. Watching him in high school he floated around waiting for his team to gain possession. Great offensive skillset but not at the NHL level evidently.

Norm Green still sucks. 25 years ago today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_4aOecenM8 :x :evil: :censored: :chainsaw: :anger: :ahhh: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: I still miss The Met.

When my oldest boy was younger I think he watched the Fox and the Hound 50 times. “Look at me, I’m a hound dog” aaaoooooooo!

Soucy is becoming a solid NHL defenseman. +4 tonight.

Ericksson Ek completely abused the Oiler dman on the Wild’s 6th goal. Great play.

14 is a blast to watch.

The Twins will never be able to outspend the Yankees. You have to beat them on the field. We beat the Tigers in 87. Problem is we turn into wimps when we go into Yankee Stadium when we need to punch them in the face. You have to manage game #1 like game #7.

Upset alert

Russo is saying Staal has a stinger and may try to practice tomorrow. I thought you had to be a Edina alum to have a stinger.

Hasn't the knock on him been that he disappears in the playoffs - especially as any sort of physical presence? Not trying to take him down on the whole, but if that is true he needs to show he can prove that wrong. I think when he was younger he did shy away. Haven’t had much of a chance to see him...

No Brodin isn’t the fastest skater on the team. He is almost always in good position, has great gap control, although not a big hitter usually wins puck battles in the corners. He has great recovery skills when he gets caught flat footed, and is great at holding the point. The Wild would be foolish ...

FWIW, Nanne thought Stalock was good last night. He makes me nervous has hell with his anything-but-calm demeanor, but he got the job done several times in the 3rd period. Kudos to him for regaining focus after some hiccups last night. Nanne also gushed about Brodin and his skating ability, which I...

The Brodin and Soucy pairing were fantastic tonight.
Stalock comes up huge in the 3rd after two softies.
Suter played great too.

It’s great to look forward to game night again.

Kunin getting an earfull after the Lightning power play goal.
Rask with the equalizer!

Wild came out hard in the 1st period. What a difference from earlier in the year.
Surprised that Soucy is playing the off side rather than Brodin.
Seeler playing well. Too bad about the soft goal.

So what's did you guys think of the Finn kid in the net Tuesday? Second goal I thought was soft, but after that he was pretty good. Like most butterfly goalies he goes down and is vulnerable to the high shot. I thought the game he played against Florida was the best goaltending performance for the ...

Really enjoyed listening to Louie’s color commentary last night. His analysis of the players I thought was spot on as well as what was happening in the game. As a former player, coach, and GM the guy is a fountain of hockey knowledge. Always miss him on TV at State Hockey as I am at the games.

Right shot D is an issue. I see that they're moving Brodin over to the right and moving Soucy up. Seeler will take Soucy's spot. Listening to Boudreau’s postgame presser it sounds like that’s exactly what will happen. Brodin has played right D before. Glad to hear Spurg’s injury will only be a coup...

Spurgeon hurt. Hope he didn’t break his hand. That would be a huge loss.

Fewer people at the Panther game than at Mariucci.

Everything else I was going to say Louie said at the end of the period.

Wild survive 3 on 3 for the first time this year! Not positive but I don't think either Koivu or Suter saw the ice 3 on 3. They played smart when they had the puck keeping possession and not taking long shifts. Smart giving the 3 best skating d-men the ice in OT. Wild only two points out of a playof...

Grand Rapids beats Minnetonka in OT. Thunderhawks of to a great start.

Fiala playing great and Donato coming on too. Great to see them turning things around.

Wild with a 3 goal lead in the 3rd? Has that happened this year?

The ticket site shows very few unsold seats for tonight, so at least there's that. To more Whioux fans.. I guess when your third in the country you will have a good following They will have a nice drive home tomorrow. Expecting 15 inches of snow in Grand Forks. Maybe a lot of green at MOA this week...

I would expect a better effort tonight. If not I would start looking at the coaches.

I really enjoyed this movie. Took me three days and a couple naps to finish it. The priest at the end in the home is an actual priest I have seen on cable news. Great story of a soldier turned hit man who followed orders,

LaCombe needs to be benched.

Must have got a a$$ chewing. Better effort so far.

This team and recent Gopher teams think they are good enough to win without working hard. It’s pretty obvious.
Yes they are young. But that’s not an excuse for lack of effort.

Was anyone back checking? Anyone?
Another turnover by Lacombe.

Hard to win when 2/3 of the team is not competing.

Another turnover at the blue line. Get the puck deep.

At least 39 came to play

Hideous turnover by LaCombe leads to a ND goal.

4 out of 6 points on the road trip. I’ll take it.
Suter with a nice bounce back game. I thought all the Wild dmen were good.
Eks line had 5 blocked shots.

3 on 3 is man on man. Ek had Panarin. Suter went to Panerin and got caught out of position.

Fiala is playing great hockey. Total turn around from early in the year. Dumba playing better. Not running around trying to do to much. Great shot by Donato.

Just have to close things out when you have the lead.

Wild lose on first shot of OT again. Never touch the puck.

At some point it can't always be on the goalie. This team SUCKS.

Suter Gave that guy the center of the ice and he blew right by him. Great shot. You can’t blame Stalock on that one.

Tonka looked sloppy against Rosemount through 2.5 periods. Down 3-2 while going 1/5 on the PP and I couldn't finish the game. Not totally unexpected with having graduated so many players last year. Was at this game. I thought the difference in the game was the penalties called and PK of Rosemount. ...

Upset alert

Grand Rapids 4

Gophers lucky to have the lead. Would be nice to get one on the PP to start the 3rd. LaCombe pretty lackadaisical out there. Better pick up the pace. Staudacher playing well. Would like to know what his plus\minus is for the year.

Staudacher +5 going into tonight’s game. Johnson 2nd at -3.

Big save.

MSHSL season under way last night. Game of the night was a top ten match up between Andover and Blake. Top state defenseman and Bulldog recruit Wyatt Kaiser leading Andover to 6-3 win with 2 goals.

Wow is Cale Makar fun to watch.

Sounds like Dumba is day to day.
Dubnyk absent with a “family situation”
Kahkonen called up from Iowa in an emergency situation.
Hope all is well for Dubnyk.

Outside the Edina universe Charlie Stramel will be skating for Rosemount. Rosemount @ Minnetonka Saturday will be my first MSHSL game this year.

It is easy to see the potential of LeCombe & Johnson but Staudacher may be the steadiest freshman defenseman right now.

I agree. He gets a ton of time on the penalty kill so Motzko must trust him.

PSU was bigger, stronger, faster, and got better goaltending. Again I think playing on the big rink hurts a less experienced team. I see no reason for panic and think they will do better against the younger BADgers.

Every time Clymer says “articulate”....

Ben can be irritating but at least he doesn't say , "Metallurgy Save".

I want some of whatever Ranta had for breakfast this morning

No kidding. He has shown flashes of being good. Tonight he looks great!

Ranta worth the price of admission for the 2000 people at the game tonight.

52 turnovers last night

Fleck coached the 2nd half like his hair was on fire.

You could have gone three and out forty yards down the field?

yeah we could have the ball near midfield

I don’t get the onside kick with 3:28 left.

Rowing a bit too hard?

Well now I get the whole no confidence in the kicker thing.

Gotta blitz here

Hold them to three. Plenty of time

Holding on 74.

Oh yeah!

Why didn’t he just kick the FG?

Gotta kick the FG there.

Yesss!!

Let’s go Gophers!

I think PJ just pooped.
