While DU hosts its deserved national championship trophy, I received my trophy pre-game from Minnesota Men’s Hockey Media Relations. You folks are and have been AWESOME! ❤️💛🥲 (yes, quite tasty, too 😋)

You have been too kind the last 24 hours. And before that, TBH!
So, I guess I owe you for messing with your photography 😢

Heading into playoffs he’s been flexing his scoring touch and showing his big man grittiness. I tried to capture the latter in this portrait of Minnesota Men’s Hockey grad center Jaxson Nelson. #gopherhockey

Jaxson Nelson becomes the 9th Minnesota Men’s Hockey player to be named a weekly Big Ten Hockey star, tops in the conference. Next are Wisconsin and Michigan with 6 players each.

Damn! I shorted George Claussen who had 12 SOs (1931-34) when the team played only played 61 games in his 4 yrs. Apologies to his descendants. Therefore, Justen Close is unmatched among modern goaltenders.

Justen Close earned his 12th career shutout last night in his 83rd start. No other Minnesota Men’s Hockey goalie can match that. Eric Schierhorn 12th SO in start #102 (2018); Kellen Briggs #103 (2006) and Adam Wilcox #110 (2015). Wilcox and Briggs share the SO record: 13. #GopherHockey

👏👏👏👏
