Big wins for Michigan Tech and Northeastern tonite...Tech Huskies beat Ferris State and Zombie Huskies (see their logo and you'll understand) shut out the Irish 4-0.

I've been to Munn...nothing special at all. NHL '94 Canucks/Rangers edition...I used to rock that game back in the day.

Nevermind, I got it now. You thought I was tossing softballs for smokey to hit LOL.

Hmnnn...

Why apologize to me?

yep, just started snowing here.

I thought there would be about 5,000 - 7,000 for this game tops. Is that pretty accurate?

Yea, it'll be nice if Toews and the boys can make the Gwozzer frown. I just hope Tony Couture plays well in net, though. He and Andy Kollar have been pretty weak lately.

Not much for bells and whistles, but man that old barn would rock when the fans made noise!

Patrick Ruesse should really just refrain from making any comments at all involving the sport of hockey. "Grandfather" in SCSU and UMD for what reason? Just because? Unbelievable. And, you're correct - it really is amazing how few people in the TC media truly understand things related to hockey.

Thanks for the information - and thanks Mariucci, too.

I'm aware that that's a major issue but it's too bad it couldn't work out.

Mariucci, you never answered my question (and it was a serious one - perhaps you didn't see it earlier on this thread) about the North Star tournament...do you have any insight as to how the rotation system was set up and how the schedule worked out? I know the system is set up where one of the three schools not named Minnesota "falls off" the rotation for the yearly tournament. In a perfect system, my thought is that the team that went 0-2 would be the team that should be replaced the following year, but that's just my opinion.

I have not seen a game there, that's why I was curious. Thanks for the insight.

Thursday night regular season hockey...good call, Big 10. NOT.

Isn't that when they start arriving to the game?

I find myself rooting for Penn State in hockey. Hockey Valley...that's a pretty cool theme.

Revenge of the Nerds V: Nerds in Sochi

Easy, smokey, let's see how this plays out tomorrow afternoon/early evening.

No Yost Arena? This list is a farce!

I think even the biggest Gopher-haters among us know that the X will have 10,000+ Minnesota fans in the rink on Friday night.

Let's get to the bigger question about why Michigan Tech, Northeastern, and Quinnipiac are on the list. I've been to MacInnes but it's nothing special. Tech vs North Dakota...about 3,000 fans there...pretty quiet place. I know during Winter Carnival it is a riot, but in general?

I agree that it's a great experience...but there are things that detract from it.

Ushers at the X will hold you back from trying to get back to your seat while the puck is in play. Ushers at REA...couldn't care less what you do while the puck is in play.

I don't recall ever disagreeing with you previously on that issue. I used to have season tickets thru about the 2007 or 2008 season. Simply couldn't make every home weekend but also frustrated with having to get out of my seat 75 times a game so the folks around me could run and go grab another beer.
