Re: Minnesota Golden Gopher Season 2018-19: The Motzko Era Begins!
Don't get me wrong Trix, there's no easy road ahead. But it's hockey, stranger things have happened. There are some positive takeaways in recent weeks.
Since the OT loss to St. Lawrence when we dropped out of the Top 20, we're 4-2-3 (.611). The Gophers have outscored opponents during that period 29-21. They showed some "come from behind" ability against B1G teams like #5 OSU twice and Michigan for Ts; and Wisconsin for a W.
At the very least, splits against Penn St., Notre Dame and Michigan St is doable. After that they match up well with Michigan and Wisconsin at home. I'd venture to say they could even sweep one of those two at home.
I think the key moving forward is playing smarter and harder on both sides of the puck. After a bumpy road this season, an NCAA appearance it would be a great accomplishment for Motzko and this team.
