**Rodents vs ASU** 1/21 & 1/22
Motz needs to get this mini slump turned around quickly before our Dinkytown lads start to lose confidence. Anything short of a 2 game sweep will be disappointing to me. Need Reedy back in the lineup and I think I read that he is expected to play!

Shot attempts currently 55-7 in favor of our lads....and we're only 6 minutes into period 2! Didn't hear why, but apparently there are a handful of ASU players not in the lineup so that has a little something to do with this. Still impressive though!

7-0 after 2. Fun to have these games once in awhile since the majority of their games are extreme battles....boys having some creative fun out there!

ASU with a good start to the 3rd....coach probably encouraged them to try and win the period and get another crack at the Rodents tomorrow.

i don't like Ben Clymer as an analyst - his tone and the way he talks is more annoying than LaPanta

Agree...he is SO annoying, always trying to use big impressive words in his description of a certain play. Loved him as a Gopher, hate him as an announcer!

Casey Hankinson was slightly bland, but far more entertaining, interesting and insightful than Clymer. Likely never going to happen but I wouldn't mind them bringing him back. Just don't ever let him design another Gophers sweater.
Also Munger I don't know any true Gophers fans that refer to them as the rodents.

I'm not doubting you, but when did Hankinson do color for the Rodents? Don't remember that but maybe I have heard him but didn't realize that it was him.Slap Shot wrote: ↑Fri Jan 22, 2021 7:37 am Casey Hankinson was slightly bland, but far more entertaining, interesting and insightful than Clymer.

He did pre-game with Marney for one year, and the next in the booth with Gorg and McCleod. 2013 maybe?Hornets wrote: ↑Fri Jan 22, 2021 7:57 amI'm not doubting you, but when did Hankinson do color for the Rodents?

They played fast and look what happens when you put shots on net. It could have been higher. In the 3rd i counted at least 10 shots NOT taken in the scoring zone. I think they were backing off ASU. ASU could not control the puck and change lines. At one point in the 2nd ASU players were on the ice almost 3 mins. Gophers got a goal because of it.

back in the old St Paul city conference days ...these games were like playing Central or Mechanic Arts ( hockey ) time to pad the stats !
this is embarrassing ...
and i have heard the Gophers called "the Golden Rodents" many times Gus !!

Re: **Rodents vs ASU** 1/21 & 1/22
ASU was missing 6 or 7 players. It's good they did what they were supposed to do but let's seem them carry it over into their next series!
