That little blurb matches the same speculation as SiouxSports, POI, and USCHO message boards. Until the decision is written in stone, (or at least the local paper) I won't get too excited...

On 1440 this morning: Drew Stafford and Matt Smaby may not play due to illness. Stafford is the most questionable at this point...

I'm just hoping for a good game. nahhhhh... Sioux win 5-0, outshoot HC by 25.

Briggs is inexperienced in tournament play, and will not hold up in the tourney.

F'ing hilarious.

We didn't go to the Final Five this year, but in years past, we've always had fun visiting with fans from other schools. My wife and I have drank beer and eaten nachos with fans from, MSU, UMD, SCSU, CC, DU, and yes... even UW. But never with gopher fans. Not that I wouldn't like to, but none seem to want to join us... even when the offer is extended. Strange people, gopher fans. Oh well. (although I had lots of fun with the gopher parents President's weekend in Duluth. Nice people to visit with. Koalska's dad is a hoot.)

Yes, and yes. Although I don't like trying to beat a team 6 times in a season.

Just noticed that myself... Soooooooo close!

Okay... I'm a man of my word so I'll go ahead and say it. The gophers are back. They played really well last weekend, and I'll be the first to admit that I didn't think they would. Savor the flavor gopher fans. However... It seems that everything is still going according to the master plan... Airmail's Master Plan

I agree with Coach of the year and rookie of the year. I'm disappointed in player of the year. (not saying Junior doesn't deserve it, I'm just disappointed)

1)UND 2)UMD 3)UM 4)AA 5)CC (although the Sioux will have to bring their A game to beat Duluth for a 6th time)

I like it! (so...... Sioux win 4-2 over Duluth in the final?)

I hope you're right... since I can't get to the Final Five this year, it's my next best option. A few of us are meeting there for lunch on Friday, and I'm sure we'll "take a long lunch." (yes, SFIP, I know you don't condone such things)

If it is not a good game, I will serve myself a piece of humble pie on this site... proclaiming that the "Gophers are Back." Will that do?

I had the opportunity to watch the tape from the UM - SCSU game... and SCSU was in full Dahl stall. I mean really f'ing bad. Their defense was MIA. Don't get me wrong, I am respectfully cautious of the gopher hockey team. They are very talented. I just don't think they were as offensively sharp as SCSU was defensively !@#!$. UMD will not roll over for the gophers like St. Cloud did... it will be a great hockey game. My avatar and signature aside... I'm really trying to be objective.

The "word around the campfire" is that WDAZ is trying to sell advertising to those people who initially purchased for the womens bb coverage. My source tells me that this game, however, will cost more than the bb game... so they need to sell a bunch of advertising in a hurry. They're trying!

You, my friend, are a paradigm of cool. (BTW, nice lyrics too)

I think so... any good ink can't hurt. Possibly, they are certainly both deserving of the award, and probably the top forwards in the nation. Somehow, though, I think they'll avoid two players from the same team at any cost. Especially two players from North Dakota. Yes... If it happens, voting will be split... which is no good for either of them. Bochenski or Parise... that's one helluva question. I have no answer.

What was the television covereage last year? Did FOX cover the afternoon game? It sucks they aren't carrying the game; but if the precident is no afternoon coverage, we may be screaming to deaf ears. Maybe the Fighting Sioux Sports Network will cover it... If I remember correctly, last season they picked up the NCAA game in a "last minute" fashion.

sorry... I couldn't resist

You're right... more genteel.

Its good to be blunt... just don't do a "Roman Maroni" on them: Dear fargin' bastages,

You gotta love it!

Yeah, Corella, you cracker... quit yer frontin. (might I also suggest some "new rims" for that "hoopty of a car" that you drive.)
