  • Drop 2 minute dailys.

    I love to hear about Gopher sports, but using Apple Podcasts as my preferred method of listening I find the 2 minute daily episodes to be a waste of time. I skip them, but sometimes they overtake the good, long episodes in the “listen now” tab because I can’t get to my podcasts everyday. Then I miss the episode with a lot of substance instead of 1 minute of commercials and 1 minute of info.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Gopher Hockey Weekly with Brett Larson 10-26-26
Q: What does the team need to do against Penn State?
Larson says the Gophers must defend around the net against Penn State's frequent shots, sustain offensive-zone possession by recovering pucks, and focus on playing their own game with consistent effort.
Gopher Hockey Weekly with Brett Larson 10-26-26
Q: How did the team respond to failure and then to winning a big game against North Dakota?
Larson says the players responded to the early setback by working harder and holding one another accountable. After the first win, they avoided relaxing and brought even more intensity to the next game.
Golden Gopher Podcast Episode 211: Tommy Olson and Pat Micheletti on Epic Homecoming Weekend
Q: So tell us a little bit about him for those of us that haven't maybe really watched him play, certainly at the collegiate level, about what makes him unique and why just the high-end talent that he clearly is.
Micheletti says Wyatt Cullen is a highly skilled, intelligent 18-year-old who had a three-goal breakout game and should continue to improve as he adjusts to college hockey.
Golden Gopher Podcast Episode 211: Tommy Olson and Pat Micheletti on Epic Homecoming Weekend
Q: So what did you see from the defense on Saturday?
Olson says the defense responded with physical, coordinated play, disrupted Iowa's offense and created turnovers.
Golden Gopher Update 10-21-26
Q: How happy were you with your team's effort coming off a Friday night game where both teams are going back to back and you really came out and, like you said, smothered them, especially in that opening set?
Cook says he was pleased, noting the demanding four-set match on Friday, the importance of having fresh legs, Carly Guilke's contribution and Elena Hakey's strong response. He says the team is now focused on taking that performance on the road to Purdue.
