Must keep series going
Doug Woog, Lucia's predecessor, said the series has to continue.
"There is no reason not to play. You can't give me one," Woog said http://www.startribu...e/?id=133207458
Give the nod to Ben? Hankinson never even got a shot in. Hak had Hankinson's jersey over his head before he knew what happened. The following Saturday was the Gophs first game that Hankinson had to sit out. 20 minutes before game time he was in Richfield at Hat Trick Hockey dressed like a slob.
I know this. I was pretending to be one of those city boosters who would think this would work. Just like how they thought the Alerus would bring in conventions.
You are not looking at the big picture. This would be in the same line as having a convention. Economic tool. You seem to forget that the Ralph bid on a regional with no guarantee UND playing in it.
From looking at attendance numbers from last year for these schools a 5K seat arena would be their best option. Bemidji had the highest attendance last year averaging only 3521 a game. Lake Superior had 2154 a game. How many would go to St. Paul? A hundred maybe? By looking at these numbers I would guess that if 2000 people showed up for the championship game that would be a huge crowd. That is taking into consideration that Mankato or Bemidji was playing. It really probably could be held at the Purpur.
To add to your question I have one also. If the goalie has been pulled and a penalty shot is called do they get to put the goalie back in? Which is like your question in the fact if the penalty had not occurred a goal would have been scored.
