		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a while since I&#8217;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&#8217;t think he&#8217;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&#8217;t ever graduate because you&#8217;re awesome and play with the Gophers forever. 5. Alex Kangas despite letting 4 goals by looked sharp. 2 of the goals weren&#8217;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&#8217;t make a mistake. Leddy has a wicked shot. 7. Lucia needs to recruit goal scorers. We are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Settling in around 5 last night I intended to watch a hockey game between the Gophers and the Saint Cloud State Huskies. I got something very different. I have loved Gopher Hockey since I can remember. All the great players came and went through Mariucci Arena are still etched into my brain. The thing I most wanted to see was a national championship which they gave me two of back 02-03. Now I see something very different. Yes we still get amazing hockey players to come to the U of M. That will always be true. They are some seriously skilled players on the Gophers right now: Jordan Schroeder, Nick Leddy, and Zach Budish for example. All are draft picks to the NHL, no doubt. But they don&#8217;t seem like a team anymore. It seems to me it is just a collection of talented players playing together. That doesn&#8217;t win games let alone national championships. Watching last night was torture. Gophers were down 2-0 after the first. Now some credit has to go to Mike Lee, the Huskies goaltender. He was impressive. But we got our chances and couldn&#8217;t put the puck in the net. I was getting so angry [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As we trudge through winter Minnesotans often find solace in plopping down and watching a little hockey in front of the tv. Well it&#8217;s about to be the best day for those fans-Minnesota Day of Hockey is this coming Saturday. It has become a winter tradition in Minnesota for this day.  I for one am quite excited. The biggest draw for me is the outdoor hockey played by several high school teams from across the state.  Those games are Rochester John Marshall Vs Saint Paul Johnsonboys)and Minnetonka vs Stillwater(girls). There is also White Bear Lake vs Duluth East at the X. Those are some quality high school games. Then we come to the toppers. You&#8217;ve got the Gopher men&#8217;s hockey team playing the Huskies from pathetic Saint Cloud(I am unapologetic Gophers fan, deal with it). That game is followed up by the Wild taking on the Ducks of Anaheim.  And last but not least the Houston Aeros(Wild&#8217;s minor league affiliate) takes on the Toronto Marties in a very late game(tape delay). I like how Minnesota does this. It is a really unique event that no other place in America could do. There is not the level of high school hockey [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Having watched a lot of Gopher hockey in my life I find myself wanting to write a little about them. If an outside observer were to look at this season one would say that this was a season of disappointments. I don&#8217;t look it at that way. Yes there have been a few more losses than usual. Yes the talent is quite what it used to be. And yes it has been frustrating. But not disappointing. At the beginning of the year things for the Gopher Hockey team looked somewhat bright. They had lost a couple key players including defenseman Erik Johnson and Alex Goligoski. Immediately our blue line was depleted. However, we had many returning talented players&#8230;among them Kyle Okposo, Blake Wheeler and goalie Jeff Frezee. Just like always, Don Lucia brought in a nice class of freshmen to replenish the ranks. Expectations were a little limited compared to other years but there were still some expectations. I watched about 75% of the games this year. Even with the talent the Gophers had, they underachieved. For a while they had accrued a losing record. A nice run in the end got us out of the hole but we were [...]]]></description>
