    Bear in mind they're from Arizona, and "ice hockey" is kind of new thing.

    Somewhere a few pages back I stated that I thought the Gophers were showing improvement in their overall play, for which I took some criticism. But I think it's now safe to say that the "improved play" trend has continued. But Arizona - minus Johnny Walker - was a big disappointment, to me at least. I expected more talent, better teamwork, better goaltending, more grit....but all we got was the grit, and dirty grit at that.

    It would be super fun for the Gophers to take out Michigan this weekend and keep the season going a little while longer!

      Last post to the Michigan thread:

      "One of the most disappointing series in recent memory. Two wins against a lesser team and we finish in 2nd with home ice the first 2 rounds. Instead we just gave away 2 games to finish in 6th. Sloppy play by the team and terrible goalie play both nights. What a disappointing season."

          What you're failing to recognize is where he would fit in the pecking order were he to leave how that might dissuade him from leaving.
          Pitlick is trending up as a top three prospect for the Predators. Nashville has some cap issues and RFAs, so things could change quickly this summer for Pitlick to make the move.

            Goonery update: The knee-on-knee stunt by Croston of the Arizona Sun Goons basically ended Nathan Burke's season who is out for 6 weeks. Burke's loss breaks up the Freshman line with Norman as a possible replacement for Friday vs Mich.

            Meanwhile, the WCHA which is responsible to adjudicate disciplinary action against this goon squad, added one more game to Jacob Wilson's flying contact hit to the head penalty on Sampo Ranta which resulted in a beautiful row of stitches. The two game suspension means Wilson will not play again unless ASU reaches the FF. The weird twist to the story is Wilson and Ranta are former teammates with the Sioux City Musketeers in the USHL.

                Agreed. Definitely not worth it. Hope they never find a conference and go belly up. Won't happen, but I'd be fine with it.

                    I was a proponent of "Hey we swept them, good OOC team, let's keep that going!" I am now rethinking that. I have no love for the ASWhioux.

                      Why isn't Croston suspended? Dirty knee on knee that ends a player's season?

                        No one gains anything from a program where the players have third grade fits when they're losing that result in pointless and avoidable injuries. They can go away.

                          It absolutely isn’t. You didn’t see the series.

                          These were malicious hits with intent to injure. And that doesn’t happen the first time you ever play a program unless that program is a cancer.

                            I did see the series.. And wishing death on an entire program is just wrong.
                            They were frustrated.. First games on the big sheet... Without their best player and their coach saying before the series they can't outskill anyone...
                            Went too far sure... But to wish the program dead? Give me a break.
                            We played them a couple years ago... No issues... So maybe its you guys.

                                I'm pretty sure that's exactly what will happen. I don't think he'll be signing any agreement with these clowns until they clean up their act. Motzko was piissed.
