AZSIOUX Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 The only times its been impossible to get tickets is if its Sioux-Gophers on Saturday night. Any other time - even if its a sellout - getting a scalped ticket is not hard. and its still never impossible, just have have to be willing to pay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goon Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 It's on Kellogg, connected via sky walk to the X. I'm not sure where it is in connection to the Science Museum. West Palm Beach!! Nice.... West Palm Beach rocks. If you like the beach, good food and big fancy houses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other time - even if its a sellout - getting a scalped ticket is not hard. Couple years ago when the Sioux and Gophers met for the championship game (the infamous Wheeler diving swat shot) I got tickets online (ticketmaster.com) after the Sioux game and I got a ticket for the lower level end of the rink.

Oh, the Gophs will make it...game 3, tie game and the Gophs just happen to get a 5 on 3 pp with 2 1/2 minutes left. Make no mistake that the powers that be will try to make sure they get to the F5!

Goon Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I sure hope your right!! The Gophers should have to earn their way into the final five not have the refs homer their oppostion. If that was to happen it would be wrong ethically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make no mistake that the powers that be will try to make sure they get to the F5! I think the "U" has stopped payments to the "Shepard-Gopher Officiating Help Fund." The GOphers are going to have to win it on their own this year! Besides, the way this season has been going a 5 on 3 power play for the Gophers would end in the opposing team getting a short-handed goal.

Minny will probably have to travel to UMD or CC for the 1st round. I could see them beating either of those 2 team in a best of 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goon Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 If the refs did that it would cheapen the league and I can't see it happening. I am just as much a conspiracey theorist as anyone but I dunno the league would lose all credibility if this happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Duluth would eat the Gophers lunch if they had to travel to the DECC. IMHO UMD is one of the tougher teams I have seen this season. That is the one team I could see winning through the Final Five. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goon Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Who are you and what have you done with our Goon? The more I think about it, if that situation happened the league coaches would run McClown and Sherpherd out of the league office. That move would lack class and be unethical.

I agree with you, that's why it's laughable when I hear people say that the WCHA will make sure the Gophers are in the Final Five or NCAA tournament.

Siouxman Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 If MN goes to CC I can see them winning a first round series there. If they go to the DECC, I think it will be a different story. UMD does a very good job of cluttering up the ice. Right now the Gophers have trouble getting space on the big ice, and on the small ice UMD will pound away and we know what happens then. The Sioux will be blamed for the scuffles and wrestling matches that ensue, especially when the Gophers lose the first game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they sweep this weekend, which I know is a huge if, but if that happens they will pass Duluth and they should pass St. Cloud as they are at Denver and then they would be in fifth. I'm certainly not predicting a sweep but stranger things have happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm certainly not predicting a sweep but stranger things have happened. When dealing with the Gophers and CC for a potential first round matchup, I don't think home ice matters much. The games will be sloppy and eventually a mediocre team will prevail. Not sure what to think of UMD. Guess I'll know more after this weekend.

I'm certainly not predicting a sweep but stranger things have happened. Lets see the Goofs have been swept by MSU-M, UND, Wisconsin and C.C. I don't like your team's chances. The only team they have beat on a regular basis is SCSU and it's tought to beat a team 6 times in a season. Eventually that team will win.

It helps us in the pairwise!!! And they have to win to keep any hope for a playoff birth. But i just dont see the gophers making it to the final five.

You'd have to be nuts to think the Gophers will get 7 or 8 points the next two weekends to gain home ice but it's not impossible either.

It only takes one good win to regain some of the lost confidence. I for one won't bury the gophers until they are out of the NCAA tournament. It is not like Wisconsin and CC outplayed Minnesota badly, in fact it was quite the opposite in some circumstances. Why is it we are so disposed to think the Sioux have a run of bad luck and puck bounces, but it doesn't happen to other teams. From what it sounds like, they are still working hard but a bounce here or a bounce there isn't going their way, and we all know that in the WCHA that can be the determining factor, whether you outplay a team or not.
