    I was thinking the other day, "I wonder if Bob Motzko reads this thread?". So I thought if he does or might sometime during the season it would be appropriate to post a letter of apology explaining how some of us really feel:

    Dear Bob,

    First of all, we as USCHO Gopher hockey rubes want to thank you for taking the head coaching job from (cough, cough...) Lucia. We really thought he should have been gone three seasons ago, but we'll take what we can get at this point. Anyway, there's actually another reason why we wrote this letter. We as Gopher hockey rubes want to officially apologize for team's pathetic recruits, ahhh....Lucia's recruits who have completely ruined your debut year as coach, and probably the next three as well. I'm at a loss for words. Robson's been good, but let's face it Bob this season is toast. If you didn't show up for the second half none of us would blame you. We just want you to know we really feel your pain. We're really sorry and hope you'll understand we really need you badly here at the U. You're basically our only hope.

    Before I forget, I have tell you a story. My daughter and I were watching the Michigan series. As the camera panned across the bench and focused on you, suddenly my 3 year-old daughter blurts out, "Daddy! Why doesn't that man have any hair!?" Of course I was so angry watching the Gophers crap the bed with a complete lack of any forechecking and a pathetic D, that I gave the short answer. "Because he shaves it", I said. And my daughter blurts out again and says, "That's a funny place for a beard!"

    We just want you to know that a few of us are really looking forward the 2022-23 season when you'll have your own recruits and once again we can be entertained by REAL Gopher hockey. We are anxiously waiting for that day Bob. In the meantime, we honestly feel sorry for you. By the way, many of the hockey rubes here have great suggestions that you should definitely read and put into practice asap if you want to make the NCAAs.

    Best of luck (you'll need it),

                Dad, Timmy's kicking me!

                Timmy, stop kicking your brother. Did he deserve it?

                But he keeps moving into my side of the seat!

                Bobby, stay on your side of the seat.

                  Don't know why but the break this year already feels like it's longer than normal. At least there's some decent h.s. games coming up to provide a slight fix.

                      Not too long of a wait though... Ferris State week from Friday. Just peeked in on their season. Pretty ugly so far, 1-10-1 in their last 12.

                      IMHO the St. Lawrence OT loss was the low point of the 1st half for the Gophers. Since then they're 3-1-3. Not too bad considering 2 of those ties were against #7 ranked OSU.

                      Since the St. Lawrence wake up call, Sheehy has buried 5 of his 6 total goals, and he and Pitlick are both on six game point streaks. Positive vibes.

                        In regards to SOS, both B1G and NCHC have four teams in the top 10:

                        Strength of Schedule

                        SOS - RPI Ranking - Team

                        1) 7 - Denver
                        2) 5 - Notre Dame
                        3) 4 - Ohio State
                        4) 15 - Western Michigan
                        5) 6 - Minnesota Duluth
                        6) 1 - Massachusetts
                        7) 16 - North Dakota
                        8) 9 - Arizona State
                        9)20 - Minnesota
                        10) 11 - Penn State

                          Big Ten is definitely the second best conference now which is respectable. No one cares about the teams we play but at least they're better.

                            Gopher fans must be kicking themselves, realizing now that they could have waited a year and gone after The Hak.

                            99% chance he would have said "no," but Stefon Diggs might have a thing to say about that.
