Where are the taunts from Gopher fans? Don't make me do it, although I was rooting for them. They got back to .500 with plenty of hockey left.

Off topic, but I can't resist. Bulldogs take over 1st place this week with sweep of Mavericks. Denver was idle.

A good weekend of hockey from the gophers, hopefully they are figuring things out. Kangas seems to be coming around but our defense was still pretty shaky. Even though the Gophs have been playing well and 8-2-1 in their last 11 I still think its a little early to say they are back but we should find out in the next few weeks.

It's tough to taunt really when all it was, was a game between 6th and 7th place conference teams that don't have much of chance if any at all to contend for the conference let alone a National title.

You never know. Look at some of the teams in last years NCAA's. BSU? They were 18-15-1. UMD finished 7th last year in WCHA but had some success. Miami OH had a decent record but was not very highly regarded. It's one of the great things about college hockey. You just have to keep it close near the end and then go on a hot streak.

I agree solbes, all that matters is the PWR ranking, we just climbed into the TUC and if we can get hot and win most of our games the 2nd half against quality teams we can make the NCAA's, however, we have very little if any room for error.

Pairwise would indicate that UND and CC are artificially high and Saint Cloud is lower than it should be. That being said, pairwise means squat until March arrives. Sure doesn't hurt to see your team in the top 3 though!

Tried and true hockey schools like UND and CC are going to always get the recognition. Did you notice Gopher's were "Bubblicious" (Pierbridge take note). I kind of like INCH's perspective sometimes, because it's not purely statistical. They must think highly of the WCHA again because that's 6 schools in the top 15, would have been 7 with BSU included next year.

I've always been a fan of the KRACH rankings. They some kind of solid mathematical base and you don't have as much wild movement that you can see in the Pairwise. I do like the INCH stuff too.

Hopefully I don't get in trouble for linking again.

I was at the games last weekend and the Sioux played poorly. Kangas made some spectacular saves, but if I were a Gopher fan I'd be worried about the number and location of the rebounds he left on open ice. I also saw a few fat rebounds tonight as well. Congrats Gophs for last weekend, the Sioux didn't deserve a point. There was a real lack of intensity until it was too late. Hopefully we pick it up. Of course being shutout by Cornell tonight will not help.

Good job Beavers .

I watch a little of the SDSU Gopher game and I thought that was a good game lots of intensity big hits loved it. Minnesota lost but they outshot the Huskie.

UND lost to Cornell 1-0. It sounded like the Cornell had a hot goalie made 28 saves. UND put there backup goalie in there who made 14 saves. I don't know, it seems UND just can't score they had plenty of chances.

Wisconsin and Denver tied so UMD is still in first place in the WCHA.

I could only get the score updates, but BSU won in impressive fashion. Better look tonight at home for UMD.

The Gophers Huskies game was quite entertaining. I was also watching the Denver Wisconsin game which was broadcast on NHL network for some reason on Dish. And Australian open for my wife. Weird mix.

If the Beavers could pull off the sweep it should help them get close to that top 10 again. Will be tough to win in Duluth against a very good team! Its hard to tell listening to the radio how good the Beavers were playing sounded like wierd goals for numbers 3 and 4 but who knows! After a few weekends of mediocre hockey its time for them to start playing really well again!

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...

      By Wanderer · Posted

      Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
