The Official College Hockey Thread

MNSmoker · 10-18-2008, 02:09 PM

I don't expect anyone to post in this thread. In fact, I don't expect anyone to read this thread.

College hockey is a pretty niche sport, but I've followed my Minnesota Gophers relatively close for the past few years.

Last night was my squads season opener, and they took down the St. Cloud Huskies in a 3-2 win on the road. They looked good last night. We have a lot of youth and inexperience on this team, but they played fast and they have a lot of talent. They just need to play more disciplined and keep our guys out of the box. And we need Kangas to have a season identical to last years in the net.

Hopefully Lucia can get these guys to gel early and we can have another good season this year.

GO GOPHERS!!!

Good luck to the Gophers...except when they play the Spartans!

I love college hockey. It is a real shame it doesn't get near the coverage it deserves. A game at Mariucci Arena is pry one of the best atmosphere's for a sporting event that you can find. I hope Michigan can find some redemption form last year and bring home their 10th National Championship.

I follow college hockey more than NHL in the reg season. I'm a huge NHL playoff fan.

My Badgers can't buy a win. Had Denver down 3 goals last night and gave it away. Might be a long season

The Gophers are a young team. We need to find some offense. Last season we couldn't buy a goal. Good young goaltender in Kangas. A couple of freshmen step up, and with Stoa and Bariball getting back to form, the Gophers could have a good season! Of course I look through maroon and gold glasses!
And of course good luck to the Spartans except for:

BU alum here. I like the college game so much better than the pro.

The Gophers won again tonight in our home and home series against SCSU. I was expecting a split in this series, so a sweep to start of the season is a nice surprise.

GO GOPHERS!!!
