It’s been a while since I’ve posted about my boys. Here is a quick rundown from what I saw last night.
1. The Gophers have had trouble scoring goals all year. However, they are finding the back of the net more and more.
2. After a poor start, they are still in the hunt for home ice in the WCHA Final Five.
3. Despite his size Jake Cepis was the best player last night. He makes up for his lack of size with speed and determination. I don’t think he’s NHL material but he sure is a spark plug.
4. Jordan Schroeder is a ridiculous player. And by ridiculous player I mean please don’t ever graduate because you’re awesome and play with the Gophers forever.
5. Alex Kangas despite letting 4 goals by looked sharp. 2 of the goals weren’t really his fault.Bad clear outs and missed assignments caused huge space near the crease for those 2 goals.
6. Nick Leddy looked good.After having a jaw injury he has come back strong. The Wild traded him to the Blackhawks. I hope they didn’t make a mistake. Leddy has a wicked shot.
7. Lucia needs to recruit goal scorers. We are never going to get back to the top of the WCHA with our anemic scoring. Especially on the power play.
8. Sweeping Colorado College was huge. If we hadn’t, I doubt we would even sniff home ice let alone the NCAA’s.
9. Our penalty kill was dominant. We held the #3 power play in the country to one goal out of I believe 14 chances. Awesome.
10. Lastly, the crowd needs to get more into it. I remember when I was going to the U the student section was crazy. Now it’s way more subdued. Way too many kids playing on cell phones. Step it up kids.
