  • Minnesota @ Mankato State of Minnesota: 12/3-12/4

    Will the Gophers continue their road dominance over lower tier teams?


    How many shades of red will Jutting turn while talking to referees?


    Will Juttings head explode after the Gophers sweep the landcows?

    Will SanTropez learn some basic English usage rules? FTR, I'm betting no.

        This series means more to me than most of the Gopher faithful. I know way too many people that are chomping at the bit to rip into me whenever the Mavs take some points.

        Also, don't expect Kato fans to respond here. Not only because they are few and far between, but because of the title.

            Oh I know, but they don't like fun.

              Is this the first Gopher series played on a NHL sized rink?

                No. Minnesota played @ Michigan Tech earlier this year.

                  For some reason I thought that Tech had a bigger sheet. I need to be a better googler!

                    The rink in Mankato is olympic size not NHL size.

                      Wednesday afternoon. 10 (now 11) posts. Thread currently resides on page 2, below the thread from last weekend's games. Is that really where this season has taken us?

                        Well apparently the thread title is hurting the Mankato fans feelings so they won't post here. Thin skinned I guess.

                          No, it is where playing Mankato takes you.

                            We just don't really care that much (about posting on the board). I would be very surprised to get any points this weekend. We are just not very good. The fans are tired of the same things every year and have slowly dropped off of the board. Shane Frederick's blog is about the only place to find them/us.

                              Weekend preview

                              Weekend Overview:

                              The Gophers play their fifth and sixth road games of the season this weekend, but their first against an in-state opponent. Minnesota will make the 90-minute trek down US-169 to Mankato to for a pair of games against rival Minnesota State. The Gophers are a perfect 4-0-0 on the road this year and have outscored their opponents 23-10. The Mavericks are 1-1-2 at home and Friday's game will be Minnesota State's first home game since Oct. 23.

                              Last Time Out: The Gophers closed out the final and 18th edition of the College Hockey Showcase in style with a 3-1 upset of No. 8 Michigan. Nate Condon opened the scoring for the Gophers at the 14:50 mark of the first period. The goal was the end result of a crisp blueline-to-blueline pass from defenseman Cade Fairchild to forward Jacob Cepis. Condon went five-hole on Michigan goaltender Bryan Hogan after Cepis fed him with a nifty saucer pass over a defenseman's stick. Nick Larson put Minnesota up 2-0 after he scored his first goal of the year at the 17:10 mark of the second period. The Wolverines would cut the lead to 2-1 with a goal 55 seconds later, but freshman Erik Haula restored the two-goal advantage with a power-play strike with 16 seconds left in the second period. Goaltender Alex Kangas, who started for the first time since Nov. 5, made 36 saves to pick up his second win of the year. Minnesota fell 5-2 to Michigan State on Friday.

                              Series History: Minnesota leads the all-time series with Minnesota State 29-6-6, but the series has been competitive recently. In the last 10 meetings the Gophers hold a slim 5-4-1 advantage against the Mavericks. Minnesota State had won three straight against Minnesota, but the Gophers ended that streak last year with a 6-2 romp on Dec. 5, 2009, in Mankato.

                              About The Mavericks: Minnesota State returns home for the first time in more than a month after playing all eight of their November games away from Verizon Wireless Center. Over 40-day span, the Mavericks have traveled more than 8,400 total miles with trips to Alaska-Anchorage, Nebraska-Omaha, Denver, and UMass-Lowell. They are 3-4-1 in their last eight road games and are looking forward to playing a home game again. Last weekend they swept Hockey East's UMass-Lowell, taking down the River Hawks 8-3 and 3-2. The Mavericks, who lost five of their top six highest-scoring forwards from last year, are led up front by reigning WCHA Rookie of the Week, Chase Grant (4g-5a) and Michael Dorr (3g-6a). Senior defenseman Kurt Davis leads the team with 11 points (3g-8a) and junior Justin Jokinen leads the team in goals with six after recording a hat trick against UMass-Lowell last week. Davis is third among defensemen in WCHA scoring with eight points (2g-6a). Last year's leading scorer, defenseman Ben Youds, has seven points (1g-6a). In goal, sophomore Phil Cook has started 11 of the team's 14 games. Cook sports a 3-6-2 record, a 3.33 GAA and a save percentage of .901.

                              Worth the Wait: Minnesota State played its last home game 40 days ago on Oct. 23. The long break between home games for Minnesota opponents is nothing new this year. The Gophers faced Colorado College after the Tigers were away from the Colorado Springs World Arena for 20 days. Minnesota prevailed 4-1 in that meeting and took the second game 9-4. The Gophers then faced Michigan Tech at the John MacInnes Student Ice Arena after the Huskies had been away from home for 33 days. Minnesota prevailed 6-4 in the first game and won the second game by a 4-1 margin.
