what does "all the Ambroz stuff" mean?
and I'd love it if the season started next week- but we need a break.
year-round hockey would be ok by me.....
Well it is one game. But if your going start off a season right, do it with a 9-0 victory. 7 different goal scorers. Only three skaters without a point. 9 multi point games.
Not taking anything away from what the gophs did this weekend as they did what they should of done but that Sacred Heart team was one of the worse DI teams I have seen in a long long time. And to think they were 1 win away from making the tourney last year. Man how they have fallen. The gophs sweep UMD next weekend then ya got something going this season. Gotta admit though Bjugstad is a beast.If you can start off a week end series with a sweep great. With two shut outs even better. While scoring 15 goals. WOW.
This a series that we get tripped up the last few years. I do not know if it is Guentzel or what, but we look like the good gopher teams of the early 2000s. Just total domination all over the ice.
Hansen- Haula- Warning look awsome. Line had 10 points tonight.
That was two years ago. Sacred Heart finished 11th in Atlantic Hockey last year and Air Force kicked their ass in the conference tournament.Not taking anything away from what the gophs did this weekend as they did what they should of done but that Sacred Heart team was one of the worse DI teams I have seen in a long long time.

I read that it was last year on another site.I stand corrected.That was two years ago. Sacred Heart finished 11th in Atlantic Hockey last year and Air Force kicked their ass in the conference tournament.
Plenty of positives to take away from this weekend. Yes it was Sacred Heart but the last time Minnesota beat an opponent by more than 15 goals in a weekend was 2002. The freshmen all contributed and got much needed experience while scoring was distributed across all four lines. And of course it would be wrong to not point out Kent Patterson's two shutouts.
At the same time, the U still has work to be done; especially with special teams. The Gophers went 3 for 11 on the PP and Patterson bailed out the PK a couple times. UMD should be a good test for that after how their power play looked late in the season. No one in Dinkytown should be shouting championship yet and this weekend will paint a better picture. However, after a couple years of not converting on chances and letting less talented opponents stay in the game it's nice to see some killer instinct by Minnesota.
I'd say good. Stopped 92 of 100 shots this weekend. WCHA co-defensive player of the week last weekend.How has Patterson played?
How has Patterson played?
6'4" 213 lbsI would say above average over all.
Great within the system.
He is in the right position. Square to the shooter and not giving up rebounds. Making the saves he needs to and is taking a few away. The D has played well. Giving up a lot of shots but from bad angles and far out.
The knock on the Gophers has been, pepper them and they will fail. The D is small and weak and the team is geared towards offense. Get rebounds and out muscle hustle them.

6'3" 196 lbs

That's 4 of the top 7 defensemen (Helgeson, Holl, Alt and Thompson) The blue line is young (with one upperclassmen) but not as small as recent years.

Is one of them likely to emerge as the leader of that group? How's Holl looking and has he added strength?
Another win, shutout and domination.
