Meh, not his players. Let's see what he can do with one recruiting cycle.
So check back in 4 years? I agree though, hard to judge a 1st year coach. Badgers are in year three of a new coach and they are just now starting to see the impact of recruiting.

Blind squirrel.
And let's not act like the Gophers are good.
I hope the pay was worth it Motzko... Cause your team is bad.

This is a weird jab. It's not like everyone thought Motzko was going to come in here and be dominant from day 1. Motzko knew when he took the job that there were going to be a year or two of growing pains.

He didn't come here to win in 2018. If he really wanted to win THIS year, he would have stayed at St. Cloud. He came here because of the immense recruiting advantages that come with the program, and to win national championships down the road once he has gotten his recruits in here.

I don't much care why he did it. He got paid and his team sucks and considering how he left... We love it.
Good coach... But I wouldn't be planning that banner hanging just yet.. No matter what "advantages" he has.

Enjoy it while you can :D
You think Larson can't get the job done? May I remind you that roughly 25% of the players in last year's Frozen Four were recruited by Larson and he did it at two different schools?
We ain't goin nowhere. ;)

To be fair since I’m a UND fan they would be behind Bemidji.

Pitlick almost winning, then taking a crucial( and weak) penalty in second OT leading to the winning OU goal.

OU looked bigger, faster, and stronger, for the most part. Some of the passing by the Gophers- making a simple D to D pass seems to be beyond them.

Boy, watching the Gophers on the TV the last two weekends has been a sad experience.

1: the empty seats - worse than Hockeytown. Couldn't have been more than 3,000 at the game last night.
2: the skating - OSU skated circles around them
3: little danger up front apart from Sheehy

OTOH, I was pleasantly surprised by the play of Tyler Nanne. Too bad he's not the one the Wild drafted.

Nanne is probably the worst player on the roster

I agree, for the most part. Nanne can do some good things, but he can also make a lot of errors.

The passing is atrocious. Goaltending is fabulous.

Spoken like a true Husky
We hung one for a conference title... No ceremony... Up before the women's exhibition in September. Not even referred to at the home opener.
We're living in the now... Other schools seem to like living in the past... Especially ones that can't let go of a name that's been dead for nearly a decade now.
