That would never have happened as Minnesota was the one school in the WCHA that was against the "Minnesota Rule." Not to mention that rule was put in place for TV ratings, not attendance.

In a typical tournament setting(neutral ice) you would be correct. But these are simply home games for the Gophers with the times already decided. It's OUR home schedule. Of course we should get the 7pm time slot.

Then why give it a name?

Oh, so it had nothing to do with benefitting local Gopher fans who could work all day Thursday and Friday and then hit the X for a 7:00 pm game...and everything to do with allowing them time to get home and watch the game on TV from the comforts of their couch?

Whereas the other teams fans bothered to take the time to travel and see the game in person. Probably larger TV numbers outside the Metro than in.

Gopher fans can be at their desks working at 7:00 and still be at the game at the usual time. Even if they work in Hastings.

My bad. I thought tomorrows game was part of Hockey Day and was outdoors. Either way think how few will show up in 6 degrees in Minneapolis. They whine that it is cold when it is 20 above.

The men's game will be a hit. I can't imagine how bad the women's attendance is right now.
