Nice start for Gopher hockey!

Post by Hornets »

Motz starts his Rodent coaching career with an impressive weekend vs the Dawgs. Just a small sample of course but this team is loaded with some talented vets, some really talented youngsters, and 2 solid tenders. I've become disinterested in this program the last few years which really bothered me as I'm a life long UM hockey fan, and really hope this group can get the excitement level in me back to high level. On side note, I believe there are about 7 former Hornets on the roster!!

SKI U MAH!

Walker and Brinkman are elite players no question.

There is 1 wearing the A this year, 1 on staff and hopefully a few shining in the NHL this year.

When I was a kid (I'm 46) gopher hockey was the ticket. Now I watched 30 seconds the game against MSU, I bet there was 3,000 people maybe in the stands. SCSU was the little kid that could, now a national power. Oh how times have changed.

Tough luck for the Rodents last night. Did a nice job to tie things up and send it to OT, and Pitlick was ABSOLUTLEY robbed in the extra session. Alas, a penalty in the 2nd OT was their undoing and another loss was the result. Gotta feeling now that things are gonna have to get worse before they get better....

ANOTHER 2 OT loss to the Buckeye's (OK, we still get a couple points). Crowd looked even SMALLER tonight but I suppose the snow had somethin to do with it. Motz hasn't worked his magic yet and I suppose it might take a couple years of getting HIS players here before a return to prominence. In the meantime....ZZZZZzzzzzz.

Correct. Aside from Walker and Brinkman the Edina boys have not panned out.
