The Gophers don't play a lot of teams like the Q.  They played Mankato earlier this year and on the NHL sheet they struggled a bit.  

The Gophs more talented, but if the Bobcats put together another performance like tonight and they've got a chance.

Someone pointed out to me before the second game that Q is a lot like Mankato, the older team that can handle the young phenoms.  Two years ago, Mankato ended MN's season and it wasn't close.  Then when a much better MN team drew Mankato in last year's tournament, I expected a reverse result, but again it wasn't close.  So perhaps this is a tough draw for MN after all, contrary to my earlier hope for MI to take them out.

Did the smoke come up in Dinkytown yet? If they get #6 their chests & heads will explode and we get the shrapnel.

Only 6??  After all these years and in the Land of Hockey?  How would they celebrate very loud and avoid explaining that?  We Nodaks are pizzed we only have 8.

Getting the excuse ready I see.

So let's look at the starting goalie for the Gophers....

So....gasp....24....

And what's worse!!!! CANADIAN 

In honor of Wally and Doug Woog the gophers should forfeit.

Wasn’t Lucia pushing for some NCAA rule change that would’ve limited teams from having older players? I seem to recall that in the news his last few years at Minnesota. I think he got a lot of heat for it from the rest of the college hockey community.
