Re: Minnesota Golden Gophers 2017-18 Season Thread

I thought that Sidney Peters looked very comfortable and confident in net. There was really only the Mansucko 3 on 1 that she looked a bit panicked on but otherwise she was very calm and collected. Number 9 amazes me in the creative ways that she can come up with to turn the puck over. Definitely got the sense that number 23 was getting a bit frustrated with the physical play of some of the Mansucko players. Reilly got taken nicely into the boards at one point...In what would have been a nice check in men's hockey. It must have been a good night for fn hawk memories for number 22 of the Landcows, as she put more players into the opposition net than pucks.

This is from today's StarTribune piece on Matt Dumba and it made me think of someone:
"And one thing Matt and all defensemen have to learn, especially talented offensive defensemen, they have to learn to simplify their game so less is more.”

Including a hard forearm to Peters' head that reminded me of Reginald Lisowski in his nastier moments in the ring. But, maybe I'm exaggerating somewhat.

Very appropos! Although I often marvel at her offensive skill, more than once have I joked to the buddy I sit next to at Ridder, that she is the best backchecker on the team!

Agnew from Woken, a dream come true! The first of many

That none for four power play is not so good. Pretty frustrating.

Our passing in the offensive is improved a lot and it's nice to see a bunch of people scoring goals.

I wonder if we should move Baldwin to forward and Skarzynski back to defense Skarzynski has been moved to forward all three of her seasons. I don't even have an impression of her play at 'd'. Her play at forward the last few weeks has been the best it's ever been IMHO.

From GPL, two recruit announcements.

Vivian Jungels(03) for 2022 and Ella Huber (02) for 2021

Also Neutral Zone has Anne Cherkowski (02) from Pursuit of Exellence committed to Minnesota for 2020. Hadn't seen that before but I'm probably late to the party on that.

So it looks like the Gophers recruit a) the state of Minnesota; b) the province of B.C.; c) Chicago Mission. Although progeny of Jack and Marlene Brodt likely deserve their own category, particularly if you can count their next-door neighbors.

It is quite convenient to drive the van with the hand-painted "Free Skates" sign up and down that street.
