Saturday March 22nd still good...or would the preference be Friday the 21st?
How many folks are coming to town on Thursday night?
We're less than two months away...
"I just felt a different atmosphere walking into the X last night..."
"I think this thing is really gonna explode..."
All 14,000 empty seats who watched game #1 yesterday nod their heads in agreement.
Bruce Ciskie, UMD play-by-play guy, a little more realistic...
attendance for first game not good...fans not really demanding this tournament...still optimistic that it will grow and get better.
Also picks UND to win the NCHC title.
LOL...Beyond the Pond this morning...
"...hard to get a vibe on the atmosphere..."
..."late-arriving crowd..."
...people were really into it..."
..."kinda like the Beanpot in Boston..."'
Blaming the weather for the attendance in the first game...apparently local Gopher fans were expected in the stands for the UMD vs Mankato game...riiiiiight.
I think we're at the point where if a guy is going to lay on the ice for 3 minutes after a hit that draws a penalty and requires assistance in getting back to the bench, that medical protocol requires he not be allowed back onto the ice for the ensuing power play. It can be called the Rau Rule.
