Not a great start for Minnesota in 2026 as they get swept by Penn State. We had former Gopher Nick Angell to survey the situation. Nick went in to detail on what it takes to turn a team around and he shared a lot of it with us on the show. We also got an update on the Golden Helmet Collective initiative from Nick. Oh... Number 1 Michigan is also in town this weekend as January looks to be a super tough road ahead for Minnesota.

After the long December break, we are back at full strength and ready for the 2nd half of the season! We recapped the OSU series in early December and got heavily in to the World Junior Tournament that just finished up. The Gophers are on the road at Penn State this weekend to kick off a very tough January schedule.

Dan Woog, the son of former coach Doug Woog, joined the GPL podcast to reminice about his Dad. Great stories about "Wooger" from "Boomer". We also got in to the big win over Denver this past weekend and previewed the road series with Ohio State.

John King is back on the show and he is a bit concerned with this years team. Last week did look a lot better with the split of Penn State. This week they head west to play Denver in the Hall of Fame game. We get in to all of that and more on the show this week.

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.
