Totally agree. Just wondering.......if Gopher football/basketball ever become "good", will Gopher hockey still be number one at the U (assuming it is now)?
I know the possibility is remote, but let's say Ohio State did drop hockey in a few years. What happens to the Big 10 hockey conference then? No auto bid at the very least, right?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only way the Big Ten conference can grow beyond the 6 teams is for another big ten school to suddenly decide to field a hockey team, right? I would think think that would be a real handicap to growing that league beyond the 6 teams.
Hey, I know it was predetermined and all that. I was just disappointed not to see/hear a really special moment in this season (and probably many seasons).
My only problem with last night's game (I was watching on TV) was the moment Tate came out on the ice, MIDCO chose that opportunity to cut to extended commercial. Damn.
I would think so. Besides, I know there is distaste by some for a third place game, but there have been some memorable ones in the past in the WCHA final 5, like when Spirko scored the shortie in a Sioux win over Minnesota. I sure as hell enjoyed it.
