They haven't been too mean to me over there...the harshest stuff is, of course, sent to me via PM, so as not to embarrass the board. There are some good Gopher fans on GPL and I've earned a few compliments.

Minnesota's Pride on Pavement.

After watching several of the videos last night, I became convinced of that myself, although I couldn't believe what I was hearing from the morons student fans in the crowd.

The Soo Lakers are comin' to Grand Forks? Hot damn!

I'm not buying what you're selling.

I keep thinking that too but GPL'ers swear otherwise since he'll take over at Minnesota when Lucia retires. Problem is, that could be a year from now or ten years from now. I don't think Guentzel is THAT dedicated to the 'U' to wait that long. If CC comes calling, Guentzel will be listening. Not saying he'll take the job for sure, but he'll listen.

Bennett won't be going anywhere - he's staying at Union. Book it.

Woulda been cooler had the hat been on the statue...

Does anyone have pictures of this game or know where I can find some?

Nice!

Union had 2. So did Minnesota. Myth...busted.

I agree, but that's the company line over at GPL. Well, that and the "24 year olds" one that's currently being tossed around...

"Every time we turn the camera on...we've just got a lot of idiots getting in our way." Well duh. It's the University of Minnesota, what did Fox 9 expect?

Acually, I'm stunned at GPL this morning...here's a short summary. - definitely over-achieved all season... - silver trophy isn't bad... - beat North Dakota with .6 seconds left...anything else would have been gravy...

That's weird...the same Gopher fan "friends" of mine who blew up my cell phone with things like "awwww, poor Sioux" on Thursday night were all mysteriously AWOL last night. Thanks much to Oxbow6 for the invite over to watch the game...I had nightmares of a ticker-tape parade in Dinkytown on Thursday amd Friday night. Slept like a baby last might though.

Yep. Unless you're a collector of jerseys, that's a major jersey foul in my book.

I won't be a hater, but let's just say those .6 t-shirts were fun while they lasted, weren't they?

I saw plenty of Union College in the past three years including all three of this year's tournament games - this was a solid team all the way around. I had a feeling Minnesota was in trouble tonight...and they were indeed.

National Championship game 1.5 hours away and this place is a morgue...oh, what could have been. Did UND fly back home yesterday or did they stay in Philly for the game?

Great post. This group came a long ways and deserves a lot of credit for leading this team to the Frozen Four. They will be missed.

Taking a break from sticking pins in your Phil Housley voodoo doll, are you?

Here's a snippet to get your blood boiling... "Let me tell you one more thing: there is nothing worse than the North Dakota fan. Nothing rivals their inbrededness and complete lack of class. Nothing anywhere. The most intolerable fans on the planet. Thank God there are only about 10,000 of them. Imagine if a Kentucky basketballl fan high on Oxy and Robotussin conceived a child with an Ohio State fan that was drunk off Natty Light with a blood-alcohol level of 0.38. Now imagine the Ohio State fan maintains that blood-alcohol level during her entire pregnancy. That baby would grow up to be a North Dakota hockey fan. You know the fan that will yell obscenities all game, depsite the fact that there are a group of 3rd graders right in front of them? That's the North Dakota fan. Or the fans that will defend a Nazi sympathizer and all-out bigot because he funds their arena? Those are North Dakota fans."

I haven't quite decided on off-season plans just yet...was thinking either car in the garage with the engine running or cyanide capsule.

Now THAT would be pretty cool to see.

An update from a story we ran late last night: MafiaMan is still depressed.
