  • Re: Minnesota Golden Gophers 2017-18 Season Thread

    Returning sophomore-to-be Alex Gulstene, incoming junior transfer Sydney Scobee, and 2019-20 recruit Makaya Paul were selected to take part in USA Hockey's fourth annual U.S. Women's National Team Goaltending Development Camp this Friday through Sunday at the Schwan Super Rink in Blaine.

    Congrats to all!

      Hope GWH enjoys Burlington! It's a really fun tournament, I like that it has one team from each conference.

      GWH will play SLU; the other semi will be Vermont and Syracuse.

        And staying true to my Minnesota roots, I would say that GWH's schedule is "not too bad".

          BLECH! We should figure out how to hold a separate showcase & bring in actual non-conference teams to play non-conference games. I realize the sudden demise of the team with no name caused a lot of scheduling problems but this is not the answer. I'm afraid if this become routine we will be stuck with it and unable to schedule more interesting and useful (for RPI) games

            It looks like these games are replacing exhibition versus the Whitecaps, so I consider it an improvement. Give me games over exhibitions anytime.

                    Fun piece; thanks for posting.

                    At least 4 players mentioned Sierra Smith's First Goal as a season highlight. Can anyone offer a description of the scoring play? Just curious as to what made it spectacular.

                    Or maybe the significance is simply that three years of hard work finally culminated in a goal...

                      It's the latter. The goal itself was unremarkable, coming late in a blowout against MSU-Mankato.

                        It was a beautiful goal as she "split the D to score her first goal" with a little help from Pieper and Brown. We were very pleased to be in Mankato to see her score the goal. Three years ago my wife and I had a very nice chat with her as she loaded suitcases onto the team bus all by herself after one of the games in Columbus. She's a hard worker and not just on the ice.

                        Along with the return of Taylor Williamson to the ice at Ridder and the team winning the WCHA tournament they would be our three favorite moments of the past season.

                          The exact definition of beauty appears to vary from one beholder to the next.

                          Regardless, it was obviously a beautiful thing. Thanks for the replies.

                            I was watching the stream of the game and it was as Bluffrinkrat describes. Nice play all around in getting the puck to Smith and she accelerated nicely to get herself free. But what really stood out was the quality of the shot she took. A very nice snipe.

                              Kelly Pannek (and Dani Cameranesi) are playing in an otherwise all-male "Bender League" this summer.

                              Separately, it's been reported that Cameranesi has signed with Buffalo of the NWHL.

                                Good for her but a bit surprised that she will not be playing for the Whitecaps in their inaugural season.
