Hard to comment on a game I didn't watch. Of course, if Thome starts and finishes a 10-9 win tomorrow night, your sports headline will no doubt be:
THOME COMES UP BIG AGAINST PIONEERS!

FY 2017 Gopher women's ticket sales were just over $110,000.
I hate to agree with that comment, but I do. The team formerly known as CCCP will simply prove that its top professional league is better than the rest of the world's scrubs. What a total missed opportunity for the NHL.
I saw this live last night and figured it would pick up steam...

Well, that seals it - this will certainly create a buzz to grow women's college hockey.
Who's gonna write the $2 million check every year to bring women's hockey back to UND and keep it going? Is it even possible?
Well, 5 power plays helped that. Mid-way thru the 3rd, the US held a 26-20 lead in shots on goal...with 13 of those on the PP. And I'd expect a team with 10:00 of PP time under its belt in 50:00 of action to have a big lead in time of possession, so, yea...
