    GREAT GAME!!! That was a great example of why I love college hockey so much, a game that to me was reminiscent of the classic Gophers/Badgers games back in the '80s and '90s when that rivalry was at its peak. I'm always happy to see a Gophers victory but tonight, at the same time, I'm also happy to see a Wisconsin team that appears to be most definitely on their way back to national prominence. They gave the Gophers everything they could handle and almost managed to steal a win. A rivalry is always better when both teams are good, and while that hasn't been the case in recent years there appears to be a resurgence in the Minnesota/Wisconsin rivalry coming on strong. The Gophers are now looking like one of the hottest teams in the nation, having won 9 of the last 10 games including the last 7 in a row. While those 10 games have not exactly been the toughest part of the schedule for this season, at least they're taking care of business and winning the games they're supposed to win. That is something that was lacking for the Gophers the past couple of seasons. Too many times they got caught looking past an opponent and losing games they had no business losing, which was frustrating considering how well they would play against better opponents. We still have a long way to go, but for now I am beginning to feel more and more optimistic about seeing the maroon and gold back in the Frozen Four where they belong..

    Winning the B1g regular season didn't help them the last two years. Minnesota better win a game in the NCAA's before thinking on being in the Frozen Four.
