We celebrate the life of Doug Woog after his passing on Saturday. Frank Mazzocco joins us to talk share his stories about The "Wooger". It was a treat to be able to have someone who will alway be linked to Doug on the show. Maybe my all time favorite podcast.

Something new from the GPL Podcast! A Quick Shift Podcast!
From time to time we will have these Quick Shift Podcasts that are different from a regular GPL Podcast. They will be more of a single focus and allow us to have guests that would not normally be on a regular GPL Podcast.
I had the opportunity to have former Gopher, Mike Carman on this new format for GPL. We talked about his recent frustrations he put out on Twitter and to talk about the current state of the program. We also went down memory lane a bit as well.

It was nice to have Hammy back on the podcast after a few weeks off! It was also a great weekend for the Gophers earning 5 out of 6 points on the road at Michigan. But, the offense continues to struggle and the power play must get better as Penn State comes to town this weekend. We cover all of that!

The Gophers had a rough weekend with the Bulldogs. Getting beat handly Friday night 5-2, but played much better Saturday up in Duluth losing 2-0. Vegoe and Jupiter go over that along with the special visitor at the rink this week. Notre Dame comes to town this weekend, so it does not get any easier.

We had the voice of Bulldog hockey, Bruce Ciskie, join us for the podcast this week. It was fun to get his perspective on the current state of UMD hockey as they try to get the “Three Peat” after winning back to back NCAA titles.
So a lot of Gopher/Bulldog talk this week as we prep for the home and home series between the two long time rivals.
