Ok. Gopher hockey fans are pretty spoiled, I mean even Kentucky bb fans are more realistic about their chances each year. lol
What percentage of Gopher Men's hockey fans think that Lucia needs to go??? Gotta be over 50%. Might be over 80%???
Well, I tend to be longwinded, so let me get to the point. I'm trying to find the silver lining with this team, with this season
Evidence that the UMn men's hockey team CAN BEAT ANYONE, and hence there is a chance to win a Natl Title.
ROAD GAME vs #1 ranked Notre Dm - 0-1
home game vs #2 ranked Clarkson U - 3-1
home game vs #2 ranked Clarkson U - 2-1
home game vs #3 ranked St Cloud St - 2-0
ROAD GAME vs #5 ranked Ohio St U -- 1-2
ROAD GAME vs #10 ranked N Dakota - 2-1
home game vs #12 ranked Penn St U - 6-3
ROAD GAME vs #14 ranked UM-Dluth - 3-4
ROAD GAME vs #15 ranked Michigan -- 4-5
ROAD GAME vs #15 ranked Michigan -- 6-6
home game vs #18 ranked Wisconsin - 2-3
Sorry to say, but looking at those 11 games, including SEVEN road games, includes 4 wins and 1 tie and 5 1 pt losses, it looks to me like our Gophers CAN stick with any team in the country.
UMn ranks #1 in SOS, and its NOT EVEN CLOSE!!!
So does our having only 1 road win suck??? YES, of course. But there isn't a team ANYWHERE, in ANY sport that has played a schedule like UMn has this year.
SIX GAMES vs Top 3 ranked teams???
EIGHT games vs Top 5 ranked teams.
18 games vs Top 20 ranked teams.
UMn's 7-0 vs teams ranked 21-38.
UMn's 4-6 vs Top 10 teams, despite SEVEN of those 10 games being ROAD games, including 3-3 vs Top 3 ranked teams.
Come on, this team is NOT as bad as all the lazy fans out there think they are.
