Well, it’s official. The Bob Motzko era is officially underway, and what a start it was for the Maroon and Gold. The Gophers were tasked with a season opening home and home series against the defending national champions UMD Bulldogs. Saturday night in Duluth was a pitcher’s duel. Both goaltenders stood on their heads and only allowed one goal apiece in a 1-1 tie. Sunday night’s game at Mariucci was a completely different story. There was plenty of scoring and the new Bob Motzko style of offense was on full display. The Gophers got off to a fast start by jumping on the Bulldogs with three first period goals.
