Gopher Puck Live Podcast

We are back for season 9 of the GPL Podcast. We cover the departures and well as all of the new guys on the roster this season. Preview the CC series as well. Post show there is coach Motzko's audio from the weekly media briefing.

Not quite the ending we had hoped for huh? A few terrible calls. The one in OT was just BRUTAL. We talk about all that. The Robson departure. The possible departure of Pitlick. What's the plan for next season? All that and more!

The Gophers swept the Michigan Wolverines in their BigTen quarter final matchup. Is this team coming together at the right time? It looks like it! Unfortunately, the fans were not there to support them this weekend. There were record low crowds for a Gopher home series. We get heavily into the reason why the U may be in panic mode. We then get into the weekend BigTen semi-final games.

BTN's Paul Caponigri joined us to talk about the Big Ten Tournament. We also discussed the Arizona State sweep this past weekend by the Gopher's as well as what what lost due to how ASU played against Minnesota. (Dirty play) We also preview the big playoff series with Michigan.

A split with Notre Dame as our favorite team is still very hit or miss this season. But they DID at least secure home ice for the first round of the BigTen Playoffs. Now who they will end up playing is anyone's guess with how messed up the B1G standings are with 1 week to go. But this week Minnesota has a non-conference game against Arizona State. We discuss all of this on the podcast this week.

We celebrate the 150th episode of the GPL Podcast with a big road sweep of the Buckeyes! This team is hard to figure out, but we attempt to do it. We also jumped in to the Robson situation and how he is likely gone after this season and who is coming in to replace him, and Schierhorn. Then we get in to the big weekend against Notre Dame. Bonus audio from coach Motzko.

It was an UGLY weekend in "Hockey Valley" for the Gophers as they lose for the 6th straight time at Penn State over the last 2 season. We talk about that as well as the 2020-22 regional bids that just closed this past week. Then we preview the series at Ohio State.

We had a blast from the past as one of the original co-hosts, Ryan Cardinal, filled in for Hammy for the Podcast this week. We discuss yet another home split this season, this time against Michigan. The state of the attendance problems and what the U is doing to fix it. We also preview the weekend with Penn State.

We still cannot figure this team out as they split with the BADgers this past weekend. One great win that Motzko said was not great. Followed by a bad game that Motzko said was a really good game for the team. So who knows? We go over it all, and preview the series with Michigan.

Todd Milewski from the Wisconsin State Journal joins us on the podcast this week as we preview the big BADger series at Mariucci! The bad news is that Minnesota was swept at Michigan State for the fir time in DECADES. We talk about that painful weekend and what the heck went wrong. We also talk about how some new recruiting rules may be coming down the pipeline very soon!
