Wow, 52 shots on goal? I feel for Michigan's goalie. He'll be seeing pucks in his sleep tonight. Great game for the Goph's. They have been fun to watch this year. Is it too early to start singing "Meet me in St. Louie"????

Some smooth skating tonight led to one of the most enjoyable hockey games I've ever seen. Probably one of the best games the gophers have ever played

Just got home from the game and I'll say it was fun sitting on the blueline watching! It seemed like we were on a fairly constant powerplay! I hope they can continue to improve.

Was wondering if buzzsaw was at the game. I bet he's one of those face painters! Started watching at home then we had to make a run to Fleet Farm for some supplies (wife's decorating junk mainly). Went to Applebee's afterwards but the tube we could see was on some meaningless football game. They were nice about it and got 'em to tune in the Goph's so caught the 2nd and 3rd periods. Boy, after Michigan scored their last goal, the Gophers took no prisoners. Those shorthanded goals were especially sweet. Let's see, I get to go to my favorite store, I stuff myself at Applebees, watch the Gophers whup a Michigan team upside the head. Then, when I get home... Suffice it to say, great weekend and Go Gophers!

Definitely a fun one to watch!

[Team Otter]

An impressive weekend to say the least. Hopefully they can maintain and even improve upon this pace.

Go Gophers! I'll be at the Saturday game in Mankato.

If Lucia can hold these guys together as a team for the rest of the season I honestly think they will be unstoppable! If the young guys start to go "Kessel" and stop passing it will be another early exit.

They have incredible talent but they need to stay un-selfish and play together. I have a lot more confidence in Briggs between the pipes at this point.

Anyone know the NCAA record for consecutive games without a loss?

I have never really cared for hockey, but this team is awesome to watch. Actually I have never lasted through watching more than a minute. But the Gophers are a show on ice. I hope to watch many more games this year, and hopefully get out to the U and watch them in person.

They could have 5-6 players going to the Jr. world championships the end of Dec. and it seams that the kids that do that are never the same the rest of the year. Lets hope that that doesn't happen. It is a good experiance for them but I think they need a little time to relax and rest before the 2nd half of the WCHA season starts.
