I don't understand what the Gophers were doing that period? They just sat back and played prevent. Only two shots on goal the entire period!

Its almost as if someone wanted an OT final.
Not the Gophers mind you....but someone else.
But they talking heads are right....we sat back in the 3rd....that was a mistake

That third period was pathetic. If that was on Qunni, I tip my hat. But if that was on Motzko’s game plan, well, it’d be par for the course for a MN sports team…

I wouldn’t have guessed it was a dozen years since OT in the National Championship. The penalty call was pretty bad I think in the situation, but Quinipiak just dominated that period. Gophers better regroup and come out hard or they’re gonna be #2.

Feels lucky that we made it to OT. 14-2 shot diff in the 3rd.

Can't make it up. We are from Minnesota. We are incapable of good things. I can't take much more of this.

That was fitting, Gophers pretty much went fetal position. Got beat down the rink on the first play in OT. Came out flat, just like they were for the entire third period.

When Cooley passed over to Snuggerud I thought the lead would go to 3-1 cuz Snuggy buries those 90% of the time...his shot went high and the Gophs never really had another good opportunity.

There’s no doubt our recruiting is back to top notch. That’s a plus to Motzko. But as a game manager, I think it’s fair to have some serious questions on this one. What did we have, like five shots in the last 35 minutes of this game? An absolute clown could have coached these guys up - fourteen NHL picks to two, for Christ’s sake. What a waste of a situation in a season where everything came together.

The Gophers were out-worked, out-played, and out out-coached for at least the 2nd half of the game through the final goal. Q deserves all the credit, but that's a game the Gophers will regret forever. Fucking sigh.

Re: **Official 2022-23 Gophers Hockey Chat!**
Not sure what the defense was trying to do there... Nelson was flat footed the entire 10 seconds and if that goal scorer was his responsibility then shame on him, but things happened so fast I don't even know who else was out there at this point. Would also like to know why Cooley's line didn't start the ot period....Clubhouseleader wrote: ↑Sat Apr 08, 2023 9:53 pm How does that guy get behind the defense line that? What a complete meltdown

Maybe they were gassed from spending a grand total of 14 seconds on the forecheck in the last half of the game?Hornets wrote: ↑Sat Apr 08, 2023 10:03 pmNot sure what the defense was trying to do there...

Playing prevent defense the entire 3rd period will haunt them forever.

With the Frozen Four here next year I suppose there is hope that Cooley and Snuggerud decide there is unfinished business and decide to come back.... but I'm doubtful that happens.

i've watched this about 20 times, just rewinding right after the goal to see it again, and still have a hard time figuring out what happened. it starts with a good pass from that defenseman though.Hornets wrote: ↑Sat Apr 08, 2023 10:03 pmNot sure what the defense was trying to do there...

I'm not so sure Cooley is ready to make the jump. He looked physically over-matched tonight against bigger, more experienced players.
