Time to crack a Guinness!

That's my question. Clearly that should have been called, but how far back in time can you review this stuff? I've never seen anything like that.

Duluth will have to score all of their goals clean from here on out. Most or all of their goals tonight on deflections. Used 'em all up.

good

Tough tough loss for Tech. Good for the NCHC though.

Amazing how often that is true though, isn't it?

:-)

I think I still have that game on tape and watched it again several years ago. I think Roche pushed their player into our goalie, so I can see allowing the goal to stand. Sucks, but I can agree with allowing it to stand. It's a close call, either way.

Wasn't that the year Karl had a concussion or something like that?

Our party ate or drank t Fat Lorenzo's, Runyon's, Key's, Rock Bottom Brewery, and the Pourhouse and never felt we weren't welcomed or were treated poorly. Oh, that includes the Marriott. I didn't see any difference in how we were treated between the two cities other than how the games turned out. Never had to watch THAT in St. Paul over two games....

That's ok, if it's a rip off of MN's chant I'm all for not doing it

To me this is actually a big upgrade. Try to use the bathroom at the X and you're stuffed in a smelly, jam packed bathroom rubbing bodies with gopher fans (oh, the humanity!) and listening to drunks talk smart. With the troughs (and smaller crowds, I get it) you're in and out in no time. BIG improvement, IMO. That, and for those that bought tickets fill out the survey they send you. Like Siouxman, I gave them plenty of feedback.

I had a few myself!

Same

We were wondering why there seemed to be a real lack of physical play by our team. I know we're not the big hitting team we've been some years in the past, but it seemed like there was a lack of physical play.

My buddy brings his own cap. Ingenious! I didn't run into anyone who wasn't polite and professional. In fact I'd go so far as to say they were almost all, at a minimum, friendly if not outgoing. Fortunately I had a different experience than you did. I've noticed that too. I was never able to keep my cap at the Final Five, but I've been to a few Wild games this year and they have let me keep the cap. I don't know if this is because at the Final Five I was always in the first level (closer to the ice) and for the Wild games I'm up in the Club section.....but I was surprised the Wild allowed me to keep the cap, since that was never allowed at the Final Five.

yep

The exit/wrist band issue appeared to be fixed. They were just handing out wrist bands this time instead of applying them.

Ice seemed better today with colder temps in the bld and maybe an extra day to set up

Yepn coaching caused mn to have a last second rush and a fortunate deflection for a winning goal. I have no response.

Like last year?

3. Sucks to get beat by a simple trap. Funny thing is....a lot of teams get beat by simple traps. THAT'S WHY SOME TEAMS PLAY A TRAP!

1. Very disappointed in the play of the team yesterday. Agree if they continue to play like this they won't win another game this year. That's aa concern. 2. Love all of the criticism of Hak not being able to prepare his team for tournament play. It's so right on. Just think how easily another coach would won the last 3 Final Five's of the old WCHA.....including thes senior class's freshman year when they couldn't field a full roster.

As FireHelmetGuy tweeted, it blows the last shred of credibility the Big10 had
