Good. It's a great building and event. The championship game a few years ago with Parise, Bochenski, Ballard, Vanek (all of whom started the season on NHL teams) was a jaw-dropping display of the college game at its most exciting. The wrong team won, and I think UND might have gotten burned up emotionally a bit, but it was a heck of an event.

I hate the Minnesota rule! Aaaaaaargh!

Other than that, great venue, great crowds, great atmosphere, great fun.

I couldn't agree more. As much as I hate to say it (because I do think it gives the Gophers some competitive advantage), this is absolutely the best thing for the league.

It didn't help the Gophers too much last year. I think your opinions are right on.

Nice job by the WCHA on the no-brainer easy correct decision...

With all the home ice the Gophers get they should have about 10 NCAA championships by now.
