The Sicatoka Posted March 19, 2015 Author Posted March 19, 2015 Mercifully ... over: 3-1 Ohio State. Quote
Go Redskins Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 I hope that Lucia and Eaves are somewhere in the Joe, watching this, and asking themselves, "I gave up St. Paul, the X, and 19000 fans ... for this?" Suckers Quote
MafiaMan Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Ohio State will not be rattled by Minnesota. Penn State would have carried last weekend's scars with them. Quote
Let'sGoHawks! Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 If a Little 6 hockey game happens in front of next to no fans, did it actually happen? Quote
Mariucci Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 I hope that Lucia and Eaves are somewhere in the Joe, watching this, and asking themselves, "I gave up St. Paul, the X, and 19000 fans ... for this?" Considering neither had any choice in the matter whatsoever I'm thinking they don't feel that way. Quote
Let'sGoHawks! Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Considering neither had any choice in the matter whatsoever I'm thinking they don't feel that way. Probably not, but these rivalries are much "healthier" than the old WCHA, right? Quote
Big A HG Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Possibly Mike Eaves' last game as UW Head Coach tonight? Quote
The Sicatoka Posted March 19, 2015 Author Posted March 19, 2015 Considering neither had any choice in the matter whatsoever I'm thinking they don't feel that way. Picked by or given to them, they still have to look at what they find themselves in and wonder. Quote
WiSioux Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 What's the guess on over/under on fans at this game? 500. Under Quote
Mariucci Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Probably not, but these rivalries are much "healthier" than the old WCHA, right? The Gophers still play all their rivals every year with the exception of UND. Quote
cberkas Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Possibly Mike Eaves' last game as UW Head Coach tonight? Saves his job and wins the B1G tournament. Quote
stoneySIOUX Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Possibly Mike Eaves' last game as UW Head Coach tonight? I may be in the minority here, but, I don't think so. They were Big10 tourney champs (wait, is that a good thing? ) last year and if it weren't for us, were probably a Frozen Four team. I think he gets one more year. Quote
Mariucci Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Picked by or given to them, they still have to look at what they find themselves in and wonder. A WCHA Final Five Thursday afternoon game would be empty at the X as well. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted March 19, 2015 Author Posted March 19, 2015 With Michigan in the nightcap, there should be no excuses. Quote
Go Redskins Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Would an Ohio state Wisconsin final do two things? 1) Still keep them as a 1 bid league? 2) Draw more fans than a Little Caesar's game? Quote

Go Redskins Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 I like that you are helping to pile on. I was watching early and reading getting ready for work then belt snapped on the drive so now I get the excuse to stay in and watch games all weekend until I fix it. But I would die laughing if that game and scenarios did play out. Quote

Will there be 11000 in the Joe tonight? Quote

Will there be 11000 in the Joe tonight? Those numbers are not butts in the seats. No chance. I just think its silly to try to come to any conclusion about how the expansion of college hockey the last two years will go. You guys keep ripping on the BIG even though just last season it was better than the NCHC. This season is the absolute worst the BIG Hockey will ever be. It's an outlier. You don't think there will be a year where Minnesota, Mich, UW, and Michigan State all make the NCAA's? Let's give this experiment some time and look back ten years from now. At that time I'm quite certain we'll all be happy with where college hockey is in relation to the conferences. And if you guys don't think that the BIG brand helps college hockey in numerous ways then I don't know what to tell you. Quote
