      Motzko is building a dynasty.
      Exactly why I can’t commit to saying he won’t leave. He’s making very good money in Mankato, has been given everything he’s asked for by the University, etc. MSU showed they’re committed by spending $25,000 to simply apply to the NCHC. However, they can’t control getting in to the NCHC like they can the investments they’ve made to build the case for the program.

      I’ve been told in the next 2-4 years they will be in the NCHC. If that has changed and the timeframe is longer, Mike may feel he can’t win a National Title at Minnesota State.

      Now, one could argue playing in a weaker conference and dominating it assures more opportunities in the NCAAs, as they’ve been to the tournament more since realignment than they did in the old WCHA, as well, so who knows. (However it wasn’t until the NCHC announced its new conference and MSU was outside looking in that the investment happened in the program. Had it happened a couple of years earlier, they may have been in the NCHC since its inception.)

                I see him being in the Top 5 if not Top 3. Others: Ward, Richards, Motzko and Hastings. If G$ had been at NMU for 3-5 years with similar results as Year 1 he'd be in there, but I think it's too early for him even if I personally would be excited if he were hired.

                    He’s missed the playoffs 5 of the last 8 years. Perfect fit if you ask me

                          @PAOnTheMic just said on the air that @GopherHockey Head Coach Don Lucia informed his team today that he will no longer be coaching.
                          Thanks Don for all the years. Maybe I'll see you around town when you are up at the lake. too bad it wasn't a better way to go out.

                              By my count, Lucia is responsible for 15 of the 46 banners hanging in Mariucci.
                              2 of the 6 titles
                              1 of the 7 runners-up
                              8 of the 18 conference titles
                              4 of the 15 conference tournament titles

                              He did it in 19 of the 79 years since our AAU title.
