The Gophers have now lost 5 juniors from their lineup that was the third ranked offense in the NCAA this past season. Nate Schmidt (9g-23a—32pts), Zach Budish (14g-22a—32pts), Nick Bjugstad (21g-15a—36pts), Erik Haula (16g-35a—51pts), Mark Alt (0g-7a—7pts). If math is correct that is 158 points from the Minnesota Gophers lineup.

Oh my! Check out former Gopher head coach Doug Woog who posed for a pictured dressed in a Tigger suit, this was just too good to pass up. You have to give the Wooger credit... I got to give him the stick tap as well for that one.
