You actually care about women's bouncyball? I don't.

I love reading about Gopher puck on kesselsports.com

HC did get a lucky bounce on that OT goal. Pass deflected off of Atherton's skate right back to him for a nice open shot. But HC played well enough to desired some good bounces that's for sure.

It is sad that some fans are clueless. Everyone has them. They are the same ones yelling like idiots as they are walking out of the building at the opposing fans after their team won. I never understand it. HC played better and got a few good bounces. What else is there to discuss? I don't accept the lost very well, but can't make excuses why we lost. #3 above is just too funny.

Well, if you ask the UM students, hockey players are much more popular on campus.

I second that. If the Gophers get a new outdoor stadium, football will take off. I'm surprised they are even an average team in the Metrodome.

Chuck has some close ties with LaPoint's high school team in Eau Claire.

Ah yes, Alary's. Our hotel is a couple blocks away, so I'm sure we will spend some quality time there Thursday and Friday.

Me too. And I thought only the uscho.com message board had topics that wasted 10 minutes of my life to read.

Don't be silly. Goofy was my favorite cartoon character but I don't remember saying he is ranked higher than Daffy Duck.

That's one of the worst comebacks ever.

Ha, ha, that's pretty damn funny!

Wow, I can really like this. I too work in visualizing data just like this. You stat geeks will know what Minitab software is, I'm sure.

Here's one person's scouting view from last Friday. Mckeen's Hockey Prospects - Toews vs Kessel

It's about time Sensers did something right!!

Couldn't agree with you more. Last year I was in Madison for UM/UW series and was taunted, got food tossed at me. Glad I'm 6'3", cause that helped when I stood up to tell him to f-ing stop. I was also talking to a guy wearing a UW jersey at the bar and asked who his favorite player was. He said #10, but didn't know his name was Robbie Earl.......geez. I might not like the Sioux, but at least you guys know your hockey. I had great chats at the final 5 with Sioux fans last year. Too bad half of my final 5 group is Badger fans. That doesn't work well.

Heck, his defensive liabilities have already been fixed due to his verbal to UND. Draft position moved up too.

Sounds like a Gopher recruit. Nice pick-up for UND.

You pay too much atttention to Gopher fans. (both of you)

The only time Cornell looked like they belong, was the last 10 minutes of the game. On the other hand, the Gophers looked like they didn't belong against UND in the semis. Very tough to take as a UM rube. We have some size this year with Stoa and Wheeler up front, should be different. Hopefully, that helps come crunch time in the NCAAs. (assuming we make it)

Oh, those were sad by the UNH fans. Got a good laugh from the wanted poster. UND is playing good right now. Will take 3-4 points from Denver this weekend.

I think we tend to look through our "green" glasses and "maroon" glasses too much. I don't think UND or UM programs magically turn players good NHL players. Hey, we both get the best young talent coming in, so getting them to the next level isn't much to brag about. Coaching does play some part, but it is very little IMO.

Interesting thread. I would say that Minny's biggest rival would be UW. But, losing to UND or UMD is just terrible too. UND and UMD get really fired up to smoke Minny. I bet if you asked UMD, SCSU, or MSU they would say their biggest hockey rival is the Gophers. Michigan is a rival in the NCAA tourny, like BU was in the 70s. This is what makes college hockey so much better then the NHL any day.

We actually went to watch the good UND/UMD game too. As a college hockey fan, watching great games like this one is something we enjoy, no matter who is playing. We did check and ask the wait staff if other TVs had the UM/DU game on at the time. The TVs might have switched over to the UM/DU game after the UND/UMD game was over. We were long gone by then. Still, very poor after my group bought dinner and drinks during the UND/UMD game.
