Big A HG

I'm not going to jinx myself, so I won't check it until the tickets are in my own two hands.

That's not going to stop anyone. Oh well....I think I have access to some now thanks to a couple of people backing out of their ticket purchase.

100%

There is a 100% chance he is gone after this season.

Here's a Jonathan Toews/Patrick Kane highlight video on YouTube....it's more like the Jonathan Toews show. http://youtube.com/watch?v=B-mNHXSoU6I

I'm not sure Crosby would have fit in real well in a setting like this. I would have passed on him for sure.

Imagine how much better Kane would have been with a couple years at UND!

With a whole 'nother year of teenage eligibility left!

I like our chances against Michigan better than UNH. The CCHA is very a weak defensive conference with the exception of Michigan State. Miami and Michigan are both big scoring teams, with weak defenses...Michigan's is a little better than Miami's. I think our defense can shut down theirs better than theirs can shut down ours.

Whether we're a one-seed or a two-seed, we still have to win two tough games. I don't think another loss sometime before the NCAA's would be such a bad thing. It'd be something to get the team refocused and to stay on-track and keep their motivation levels at their peak.

TJ knows this is his last chance at the National Championship. He won a state championship, and will have many years to get a Stanley Cup, but if he wants a triple crown, there's only one option.

I wasn't trying to start an argument, but like what Bob said, I was just showing frustration. (Thanks Bob) I'm not trying say I'm better than any other fan, but when many students put in as much time and effort as they do to being true fans, and they can't get tickets because of errors in the system, and then tons of other students get them just to sell them...it sucks. Period.

Not that it really makes a difference, but P-Kane is 19 also...same age as JT.

I don't think so.... 05/06: ND and MN 06/07: MN only 07/08: ND and MN 08/09: ND only I think that's how it goes

Although I agree TJ is amazing and probably the best player in college hockey, his off-ice incidents (as you mentioned) will prevent him from having that chance. Your knock on Jonathan Toews is kinda upsetting....He was just as great defensively, and a lot smoother offensively. TJ and Jonathan are both great creators on offense, but in opposite ways.

I'm not gonna argue, but it's easy to say the things some of you say when you have guaranteed tickets.

Almost wound up getting the goal...

I already have the tix...so I'll go, I'm just not going to buy any extras anymore...

Wow, so much for that prediction...

This was the biggest joke I've seen. There are probably 50-100 DIE-HARD student fans, I'd consider myself one. I was ready to purchase tickets online at noon, didn't work. I tried until 12:15, went to the Ralph, saw the line and figured out something was wrong. At that point the whole thing should have been scrapped and set up for next weekend. It should either be 100% online, or 100% wait at the Ralph. Due to time commitments, I was unable to wait at the Ralph forever to try and get tickets. After that point, I didn't have access to a computer so I couldn't order online. Now...myself, a person who hasn't missed a home game in a year and a half, who also takes his time and money to go watch his favorite sports team in as far away as Boston really leaves me disappointed and ticketless. I'll never spend another penny at the Ralph if I don't have to. What a joke...

Weren't the bears meant for children in need...or did I miss something.

Haven't had a chance to rewatch it at home, but I have a perfect view of the screen that the ref sees when reviewing it, and this is how I saw it: -VV gets pushed from outside the crease into the goaltender...goalie goes down -Puck bounces back out in front of the net, VV is in the process of getting up and out of the crease...goalie still down, no one around the goalie -VV is well out of the crease now, puck is shot, no one in the crease by at least a couple feet, goalie still down, puck goes in. I thought it was INSANELY obvious that it was a goal, but what do I know...I'm not one of the "professionals" that gets paid to make the right(?) call.

Listening to the Gopher crowd right now, there is zero doubt they still hate Wisconsin way more than us, even in hockey. So, for all those that think we surpassed them...I'm sorry. Maybe a close 2nd

5-0 Miami after one, scored shortly into the 2nd to make it 6-0.
