I watched the first period and a half between Merrimack and DU. What a boring game. 

Score after two periods of play. 2-0 DU. 

I tried watching some of the DU/Merrimack game as well (the 3rd period) and had to turn the channel. The only time Merrimack can get the puck in the DU zone is when they dump it in on a line change.

I think my beer league game at the Air Force Academy had almost as many fans as Mariucci tonight.

We had more fans at the season broomball opener for Red Army on Wednesday night...and that was in the middle of a snowstorm!

I keep saying that embarrassing attendance isn’t good for college hockey. As much as I love anything  that makes gopher hockey look bad. Low attendance at sporting events is trending.

Attendance is down everywhere,  but they also kept raising prices and fees while convincing themselves big 10 opponents are who their fans want to see. They need to apologize to their fans. This isn't 20 years ago when college hockey was the only puck in town.

Minnesota needs UND more then UND needs Minnesota. I watch a lot of Minnesota’s games and no one shows up unless UND is in town. Minnesota doesn’t get close to 9k in attendance per game.

I take issue with your characterization that people “escape” from ND for the TC. What facts do you have to make that claim? Or are you just trying to antagonize the UND fans by saying that?
