			  <description><![CDATA[In hindsight, it's easy to say the Gophers probably should have started Kent Patterson on Sunday versus Bemidji State. It's a nonconference game and Patterson has been sitting on the bench since Oct. 24. If you don't play him in this game, when do you?
BSU coach Tom Serratore played his backup goalie, further spotlighting the difference in coaching approaches to goalies.
This particular night at least, Serratore looked a lot smarter. Mathieu Dugas and BSU prevailed 6-2.

			  <link>http://www.startribune.com/blogs/70134887.html</link>
			  <description><![CDATA[The Gophers are showing more zip lately. They had a big 5-2 win at Wisconsin and on Saturday beat a previously unbeaten Bemidji State team 4-1. Three players scored their first goals of the season against the Beavers, Nico Sacchetti, Jordan Schroeder and Mike Carman. That's huge. If they get going, and the power play gets going, the offense will be all right.

After Mike Hoeffel got sick before the second Wisconsin game, Lucia rejuggled his lines and put his son Tony with Patrick White and Zach Budish. That line was the most productive of any on the ice as Budish had two goals, Lucia one and White one. ]]></description>
