gopherz/AZSIOUX WCHA pick'em Scoreboard: AZSIOUX: 6 gopherz: 3 1 point for picking the correct winning team, 2 points if you pick a tie. Winner buys the loser a Sioux hat or Gopher hat of their choice at the end of the year... BOLD winning team and DOUBLE BOLD if you pick a tie for that game EDIT: Is that better you little crybaby? Only kidding

Deal.

Kohl Center is much louder, more people, and a bigger rivalry if you ask Wisconsin. So to answer your question, yes.

Agreed on every single one of those points. It wasn't the greatest goal either, pretty ugly but he had a great weekend overall. The Huskies were very very good, I was quite impressed, they didn't make a whole lot of mistakes by any means and their goalie is real solid. 10-20 minutes would be great, 10 is probably more realistic...then they might not have to resurface the ice?

Ryan Flynn will punch at least one person to the ground during the course of each Gopher/Sioux game, I'm calling it here. It's been 2 straight games now

Well we know our picks will be different in our pick'em game!! Hill will be coaching the Lucia-less Gophers next weekend.

5 minute OT wouldn't have been worthless. I called it too, the second they brought the zambonis out for the full OT I said "I don't know who is going to win, but its going to be in the first 5 minutes". Got a great photo on the cell phone, team came and celebrated right in front of us. Aaron Ness first career goal and tourney MVP. Northeastern was a very good team, I was impressed.

They've been doing little interviews with the Gopher players between periods, one per game or so. Every one I've seen (including Barriball tonight), when asked what team do they enjoy playing the most, said North Dakota. Although the Badgers are by far our biggest rival in other sports, the Sioux have to be our biggest rival in hockey. As for the Gophers play right now, very impressive weekend. The 2 shots that beat Kangas tonight were tough shots, no problems there. The team played really well and pulled through when it counted the most. Unlike last year, this team dominates 3rd periods, doesn't come out and fold. Barriball has looked great in these last 2 games back, looks totally healthy along with Carman. Schroeder/Stoa/Barriball is going to be the key to these games. If you guys control them and make other people do the scoring, 3 or 4 points for the Sioux isn't out of the question I don't think. If those guys are on the ice a lot on the PP or you let them work the puck around a lot, they're going to light up the scoreboard. Going to be great having everyone healthy for both squads (I think?), no excuses!! My predictions: Friday MINNESOTA 4 NORTH DAKOTA 1 Saturday MINNESOTA 5 NORTH DAKOTA 4

The score was much closer than the game was. I don't think we were "lucky" by any means to have handled them.

2nd career goal now. Who isn't happy to score a goal?

6-2 ENG for Joey Miller.

Brown pulls their goalie down by 3 with 2 minutes left...WTF?!

You'll see him fighting next weekend Haha

We don't have our main fighter, Schroeder Probably subconsciously.

We are goonin it up in a game against Brown?? Really?? How embarassing.

They do look good.

5-2. 1/9 on PP now haha.

6 shots. Fight.

4-2...........

Nope, their 4th one (2nd of the period), just went in. 4-1

Understandable. I'm sure they're paying these teams, but the money made from the games has to be far greater. 35 bucks a ticket for 10,000+, and add in concessions and parking things and each home game makes a lot of money.

We like the money from home games
