Gopher Puck Live Podcast

This Gopher team has been nothing but ups and downs so far this season. We have BTN's Paul Caponigri on to discuss what has been a down season so far for the team. After splitting with LIU, Minnesota now faces Penn State on home ice. We get in to all of it this week.

We have former Gopher Sam Rossini on the show to recap the bounce back sweep of Notre Dame. No suspensions from the Wisconsin/Michigan series? How can that be? Who is Long Island University?

Swept by the Badgers in Madison makes it 4 losses in a row for Minnesota. They have not done this since the end of the Don Lucia era in 2018. So we needed a therapy session to help us work up our confidence for the coming weekend against Notre Dame.

The Wisconsin State Journal's Todd Milewski joins the show as we preview the upcoming series against the Badgers in Madison. But first we get in to the debacle that was the weekend sweep of the Gophers by Minnesota-Duluth.

Former Gopher goaltender, Eric Schierhorn, joined the show as we talked about the split at North Dakota. Still a lot of up and down with this young team so far this season. How will they do against Minnesota-Dululth? We get in to that as well.

The amazing shootout streak is OVER! We had Brad Schlossman from the Grand Forks Herald on to talk about that big streak and also talk about the series this weekend along with how much college hockey has changed. For those of you that watch on YouTube, we had an extended Overtime segment as well.

Former Gopher and current part time radio analyst, Jack Ramsey, is back on the GPL Podcast. We spoke about the very inconsistent play by the Gophers in the split with Michigan Tech. So we got in to the good and back of the weekend. We also previewed the big weekend with Boston College coming up!

We kicked off Season #15 of the GPL Podcast with a special guest as Frank Mazzocco joined the show! He will be calling the games on TV for the first time since 2010 this weekend and we are very excited to have him back! We had a bunch of topics for the first show of the season. New comers. NPI. B1G. Top 20. And of course we previews the series with Michigan Tech.

Former Gopher Nick Angell along with lawyer and 20+ year GPL'er Eric Brever joined the show to talk about NIL and their new collective, Golden Helmet Collective. With all the craziness with NIL and college hockey happening over the summer, it was a great learning experience to hear from the both of them. Much of the show was NIL related, but we did get in to some off-season hockey talk and things happening at the U.

The Gopher season ended with a big THUD as they were eliminated in the 1st game of the NCAA Tournament. What went wrong? Blame the refs? It is not that simple. 6 underclassmen players have left to sign pro contracts. 5 players have graduated. There are a lot of spots on the roster for next season. Portal add. New recruits. So much to talk about on the final show of the season.
