That is cool! Do you have green leather seats around the table? That would be sweet. For Christmas last year my wife had a Skating Gopher clock made - the clock face was inserted on the body and the pendulum is a Gopher puck. Someone with carpentry skills could could probably make a similar one for any school - I'll try to take a digital picture so you can see it.

There is life besides hockey and the young man obviously has his priorities in order. Best of luck to him.

CC is a very fast team, probably the fastest team I've seen at Mariucci so far this season. Just curious, who was the ref for you guys tonight?

It always amazes me that people will continue to listen to announcers they do not like, especially with TV where the sound is superfluous. I can't stand the MNF crew so I watch the game while listening to a little Van Morrison, the game is so much more enjoyable!

Solution:

Woog is very critical of the Gophers during his broadcasts - or at least the during the away games. I'm at the home games so I wouldn't know if his style changes.

He won a regional Emmy and he's far superior than Tom Sagissor - but so is an oak tree.

North & south or positive & negative?

I didn't know Sid had a vote.

My guess was 4 or 5, they've now lost three in a row. MN dropped into a tie for third in the USCHO PWR ranking. UND is in a tie for 11th with the evil empire....er....Sconny.

Thanks, dagies. Good point on Chucko comparisons.

Maybe Foss could read the schedule? And I do think Foss is a putz. Chucko: Didn't see it but was told the hit from behind warranted a game DQ. I absolutely hate it when players do that crap and I don't care who the player is and hopefully The Don will ensure Chucko doesn't do it again. As far is his play I've been pleased. He has been improving every weekend IMO and gives MN a much needed physical presence at forward.

It was an old fashioned butt kicken' in Mpls this weekend. CC is awesome. The only good news for MN is the #1 ranking will disappear.

I know the feeling...getting a tie with a horsebleep team always feels like a loss.

Broadmoor, actually.

Briggs might get some attention too. MTU's Lars Helminen might get some attention too, one of the nations leading defensive scores for a really bad team. I wish I could see him in person but unfortunately I have to be out of town when MTU plays at MN. The way Stafford played in the WJT makes me think he will play himself into contention too.

Over? OVER! It's not over until we say it's over!! Now lets get 'em!! Long live Bluto!

Great article about GF's outstanding job hosting the tournament in today's Star-Tribune. Edit: FWIW, Blount is the Strib's beat writer for Gopher hockey.

Blame Michael Schutte. Go Canada.

ESPN had a shot of him in the third. I'm jealous of you guys in The Forks this past week. What an opportunity to watch some outstanding hockey! I was really hoping Lee would bury his break-a-way chance, I bet the place would have erupted. Enjoy the games.

Merry Christmas to Sioux Nation.

I had visions of UND fans streaming out of the Ralph on October 23 with their jackets still stuffed with dead gophers.

Mr. Taz, I respectfully disagree with this assessment.

What is this "MSC" you speak of?

Not me. After watching FSU hack their way to a win in that game I was definitely pulling for UND.
