Is the radio down for everyone else?

Gopher Ticket is on now for those that don't know. The arena is VERY empty for only being 35 minutes to game time.

It is only one hour.

I guess not.

Anyone excited yet?

I like how they say it isn't true, yet still slam Bochenski for the comment.

Actually they do consider it to be a huge rivalry. Over half consider the Badgers to be the number one rivalry, but they still consider the Sioux to be a huge rivalry and others consider it to be the number one rivalry.

I thought we were too busy judging all Gopher fans to be like you?

I think you need an NHL size rink and a trap defense to keep us to two goals.

If the Herald is correct that Blais wants a defensive game, that might not be true. Is Lucia every relaxed and joking around? (serious question) I refer back to Woog and how he would at least be able to joke around and can take jokes.

I don't use USCHO, so what is the Woog thread? There are trolls and good Sioux fans posting on your board a lot, so you would have even fewer posts if UND fans weren't visiting POI and if some of your users didn't post everything twice.

You are expecting a lot from us. Does that mean I can't type out the fun Goofer cheer before the game starts?

They are just jealous that we get more posts here. I also notice that the board said Sue fans. I guess they are spineless PC bastards trying to play it off as a slam on us. Politics ruined their board and now they want to read a real one.

Who is to blame?

Hockey in the Fargodome would suck anyway. With the several teams that go to Fargo, they could use a nice arena.

Everyone listened to Woog in the last game when he criticized UND. Obviously some people didn't like him before, but he made it worse last Saturday. Of course I will listen to TH this weekend, but I'm sure I will get a kick out of what Woog will say because I'm sure it will get posted here.

As a cheer at a Gopher game says, yellow is the color of pi$$.

Sweet. We are getting closer to the game and everyone is getting excited now. The Gophers did a great job to get to the finals in both years. The truth is, they didn't earn it in 2002 and it was given to them. There were several non-calls against them, and then they were given the power play. Last year they did it on their own. Woog is a pretty good guy. He did an interview at the bench and the students were doing the Woog Sucks **** cheer very loud so it would be on the recording. Woog could have been pissed off about it, but instead he laughed at it and waved over to the students that had spent several hours outside. I think it was not only classy, but a sign of appreciation for what the students did to get into the game and what atmosphere they bring to the game.

CB must still be holding out hope for Brandt, because having a shutout would seem like a good start to a hot streak.

I hope that is a case. The only time I ever remember CB sticking with Brandt is when he had the four shutouts in a row. Now would be a good time to start another streak like that.

Thanks for the good work as always. It is great to hear that CB didn't say anything about a split. He wants and expects to sweep. My only concern is the continued goalie rotation.

OK CRR, now I definiately can't be pleased. Why is everyone talking about getting swept or getting a split? If we are truly the team that we say we are every week, we should sweep the Gophers this weekend. We have over four great lines that have shown up this season. Even with the recent change with the Gophers, their players have been very inconsistent. If we have any hopes of winning it all this year, the team should be going into this expecting to work hard and get the sweep.

For how many fans show up, the Gophers should play at the D.E.C.C. It was a neat place there.

I think their alumni must realize the arrogance of the university, and then decide not to donate money. With a much larger campus, they should be able to match any donations that we can receive. Any money they get is going to football anyway.

My guess is that they are jealous of our arena. Their arena sucks. There is no atmosphere at all. I admit I like the idea of it being all one level, but it still sucks. I would actually prefer the Kohl Center, and that is a basketball facility. At least there is atmosphere there.
