Re: Minnesota Golden Gophers Season Thread 2017-18 Part II
GAMEDAY!
Mat Robson did it again last week. Robson was second Big Ten Star of the Week for his play against the Buckeyes last weekend. IIRC this is his 4th Big Ten Star of the Week award in his first season.
Robson has played a major role in the Gophers 6-1-1 record in the last 8. He's 5-1-1 in seven consecutive starts, with one SO and four games allowing only one goal. Overall Robson is 7-2-1 with a 1.53 GAA (2nd in NCAA) and .945 SV% (3rd in NCAA).
A sweep this weekend in Happy Valley would not only help the Gophers maintain 8th in the PWR, it will bump them up into 3rd place meaning a likely BADger matchup at Mariucci for the first round of the B1G playoffs.
On the hand if the Gophers are swept, they will lose home ice and will be back at Happy Valley for the first round (Unless Wis sweeps @ OSU - yeah unlikely!, then we're at Yost).
The Gophers need at least a T to seal the deal for home ice which will send the Nittany Lions to Mariucci for the best of three playoff series.
Go Gophers!
