Class guy, gone too early.

There has been speculation he had CTE.

Going by stats alone, Aaron Broten deserves a spot over Vanek, and I would argue Millen and even Butsy Erickson do too. I also like Harrer and Olimb, a couple of my personal favorites, but it's hard to place them in the top 6. That's why you can't go by stats alone when the points were racked up wa...

Hard for me to put a 2-year guy on an all-century team. Vanek was a legend here and a difference maker for a national title, but.... For me it's a no brainer he's a Gopher legend and no forward comes close since Bonin. The fact that he cemented his status in just two years makes it even more impres...

OMG, is Shepard still reffing?
Derek Shepherd retired in 2016... Not sure if brother Brad still refs.

Um, I think that was a joke to extend the riff, as in a shepherd of a flock.

I didn't mean to butt in, and besides, it's that dyed-in-the-wool prankster Zwak's fault.

Headline should be: “Lamb commits to the Ewe.”

Not bad. I'd ram that one through right away.

I’m talking about hating losing to him, which current Vikings have made a career out of ☝️ Rodgers is smug when he beats us, Wilson is not. Wilson is a class act.

I’m talking about hating losing to him, which current Vikings have made a career out of ☝️ At the end of the game it looked like Cook was enjoying the loss, laughing, smiling, and chit chatting with the Seattle players - after getting humiliated and going to a season-ending 1-4 in the process.

Another massive choke to Seattle. Zimmer 0-2 on critical calls. Too early to go for 2 and then goes for 4th and inches instead of a FG...I guess I know where he's coming from.

Is Ratzlaff committed to WI for football? Or that is what the heavy lean thoughts are? It's between Minnesota and Wisconsin. He has done a few interviews with Badger 247 and has been pretty positive about them, but then also says nice things about Fleck and the Gophers. I think Minnesota still defi...

Twins 7, Miggy 6. Cripes. First place! Seems like Miggy does this all the time to the Twins. He Isn’t the same now but he’s been a heck of a hitter for a very long time Miggy gonna Miggy. That was a viral thing for quite a while. That takes a damn good player to do that. So - in the last 15-20 year...

Am I alone in thinking that Mittelstadt may struggle at the next level? I've only seen him play in high school, and, while he obviously has next-level talent, I don't see him as the stand-out others seem to think he is. The defense position in college has its own challenges, but I doubt his foot spe...

Great outing by Berrios tonight and the Twins beat Yu Darvish, one of the best pitchers in the NL. I've said previously that one big measure of Berrios is how he pitches against an established ace. He showed off his best stuff last night, while the team scratched out what they needed. He even went ...

Berrios had a nice start yesterday, and it looked like he was going to go deep into the game. Alas, he frayed and was pulled again *sigh* in the 6th . It seems like Berrios is like a lithium battery. When he's done, he's done. Of a 7 inning game. Though I agree, this tends to happen. Yes, I failed ...

Vegas already has more playoff wins as an organisation than the MN Wild. So that’s fun. 28-27. Honestly, one of the reasons I have a hard time rooting for Vegas is that the NHL pretty much handed them a playoff team in their inaugural season. Not that I'm letting Minnesota off the hook. The Wild wa...

It seems like Berrios is like a lithium battery. When he's done, he's done.

For those who haven't paid attention lately, Jose Berrios made a couple adjustments. And he's been devastatingly good since. In his last 21.2 IP he had allowed 12 hits, walked 8, struck out 29, and allowed 4 runs. His stuff looks absolutely electric today. He's throwing a wiffle ball today. :wink: ...

https://twitter.com/HallumJhallum18/status/1300780122463776770 I don’t find this to be a miss at this point. He might be the fastest skater in HS but I don’t see the hockey sense or skills to go along with the speed. There are so many kids like that coming out of high school. The Miskovich syndrome.

He’s a Gopher so I tend to watch him more closely, but Brady Skjei is not having a good series so far. A couple of penalties, a little slow, gets pick pocketed for chances, and doesn’t seem to be in the right spot all the time. I thought he looked a little lost out there on a couple of shifts, but ...

It's a shame Maeda's gem didn't even get him a win, but strange things happen sometimes in this sport. At least they didn't lose. To me, Rogers can look icy and unhittable at times and at others, scared and very vulnerable. Last night, it was the latter. He had no confidence in his fastball, favorin...

The team suddenly is looking really crappy. A couple guys are going, but the "bomba squad" is looking pretty tapped out.

Ump totally changed the momentum of the game in the 6th inning. Twins with two on and no outs when Kepler is called out on 3 straight balls out of the strike zone. It should have been bases loaded with nobody out when Polanco comes up. At that point he would be looking to get a ball out of the infie...

Hockey venues not a good fit for pandemics.

Berrios has talent, no doubt, but he's a 5 or 6 inning pitcher and a long way from elite status. A team needs their staff "ace" to stomp out a slumps or win their starts in post season. I'm waiting for Berrios to take that next step. I hate to say it, but when the playoffs come around and Berrios is...

Who missed a defensive assignment there? Holy balls he was WIDE open. Both Soucy and Fiala seemed way to interested in a Canuck skating towards the corner. They completely lost Horvat. I've also seen goalies swat the hell out of that pass plenty of times. Spurgeon failed to tie up his guy behind th...

The Wild simply aren’t very good. We want to believe they’re good, but they aren’t. Lots of false hope created by their late season surge. But 5 months later....they are back to being the OLD Wild☝️ The result of this series wasn't going to change my mind. They have some decent defensemen, and they...

I don't think St. Thomas is going to have many financial issues. UST raised about $36M in FY 2019 and has an endowment of nearly $500M as of FY 2019 that has almost doubled in the past decade.

Garrett Wait enter the tranfer portal last Thursday. Is this because of depth/playing time or is someone unexpected coming in now? Thoughts

Pure speculation...he's a pretty good player who isn't seeing enough ice time. If coach doesn't have plans to play him, it's a good move for him.

Rossini is a stiff, I always have kind of liked Denman and would like to see him get more ice time but Bob doesn't seem to agree with me. I think Rossini had a chance to develop into a decent college player, but he came in at a time when available ice time had to go to the young, skilled defensemen...

Stucker saw a lot of ice time last season, including some minutes on the power play. Maybe a lot of that was by necessity, but he's coming in next season with a lot more experience. Rossini and Denman, on the other hand, saw very little action, and they didn't separate themselves from Stucker.

Even if the teams operated at a loss, that's a tax write off in some way, shape, or form. The players playing at a strict pro-rated 1:1 in relation to games played, is fair. Sure, you don't have to pay taxes on income not earned, and a loss can carry forward to reduce tax liability in subsequent ta...

I thought Mikey Reilly moving the puck was too much cutsey out on open ice and not enough driving into hard areas.

For. Sure.

He got two All Americas for that cuteness, but, in the game that mattered most, his adversary, Shayne Gostisbehere, was the player I think you're talking about.

Speaking of this article I'm really excited about the team next year but especially the defense. Would love to see a fun, offensive defenseman. As others have commented I feel like we haven't had that since Mike Reilly. Other than Jake Bischoff his senior year No one on the current roster moves the...

This is not true. For the last three weeks, the Minnesota daily increase has been running around 9% per day (has averaged 9% per day).

Leopold was really smart to shoot that puck off the goal and into traffic. It caused the goal tender to move way out of his set position while the puck fell straight down.

Stick salute is at 54% now. But don't stay home Lucia Bros!

The stick salute went from elegantly simple and classic to over baked and second rate.
