I personally could not care less about the spring football game. And I am a huge Gopher fan. The average fan wouldn't be able to tell you if we had one last year or not. I don't care who the coach is or what his reasons are. This is just another thing for people to get worked up about...

I think it's realistic. We have to win the BIG tourney, which is a long way from certain of course. If we do that it's almost impossible for us not to get the #5. Our pairwise winning % will certainly be better than MSU at that point, regardless of whether they beat OSU this week. We'll see...

I hope that is correct. Gophers can play with, and beat, anybody. We have seen they are capable of some really lousy periods of hockey. Still, I think you are right. If we win Saturday, we'll take the BIG tourney. Here is a little bolder prediction. If we win the BIG tourney, we'll get a...

Well, the regular season is over. To use a tired cliche, it is now a brand new season. This team, while inconsistent, has shown that it can play with the best of them. It has also shown that it's more than capable of putting up some real clunkers. It has shown tremendous improvement in the...

Agreed. That was really bad. We are not moving at all.

Just read through comments. Only on GopherHole do we get more negative posts than positive, after winning a game against a big rival 6-2. Power play was fine tonight. D was exceptional. Nelson was great and Moore just keeps getting better. My only criticism would be the giveaways...

Absolutely. And you sure don't have to look very far...

So if I am interpreting the odds correctly, the Gophers have a 63% chance to not finish 8 or 9. Right? I am thinking we'll play really well this weekend. I'll call it a sweep. And we'll be headed to play in BUs bracket out east or to play in the ND bracket in Sioux Falls. Lots of hockey...

You were the one who took the time to post on how important it was for them to be there. Seems like you would have scanned the crowd if you felt that strongly about it. I guess we'll assume they had someone there.

So... did the coaching staff pass your test last night?

This prediction didn't age well. This has been awful to watch. I might have to start the Jack/Coke a bit early.

Is that a prediction or a want? Everyone seems to be on the Gopher bandwagon now, as the team has been playing really well. This will be a tough series in South Bend. I am really hoping for 2 wins but... that will be tough. I'd be happy with a win and a "tie". I'd be ecstatic with a...

100 percent correct. I don't recall a year where there were so many really good teams in college hockey. I'd say 1-8 are all serious contenders. And 9-12 are at least capable of winning it all as well.

I miss the sound of the public address guy. Think his name was Jules Perlt (sp?). Not sure when he retired but he was there through at least the 80s I think. I also miss the general mystique of the dome. Growing up in outstate MN, coming down to the 'The Cities' was a big deal for us...

I agree, 92. BC is the best team I have seen this year. And it won't be 80% Sioux fans in South Dakota. MN will have a great showing of fans there if we get placed in that regional. For those inquiring minds... Sioux Falls is closer to Minneapolis than it is to Grand Forks.

100% correct. I think our outside chance of climbing into a top 4 slot is now gone (we needed some help from Notre Dame this weekend, which we didn't get). Still a shot at the #5 overall though. We need to keep winning (duh). And we need MSU to play .500 hockey the rest of the way. That...

Good win tonight. Solid series. I'm happy. Loved the Lamb Huglen Kurth line this weekend. Hoping Thomas is back quickly. Hoping Snuggy can put some away next weekend. Enjoy this one. Beat Notre Dame.

Those were dumb penalties for sure. I have a hunch that this was discussed in the locker room between the 2nd and 3rd.

Thanks 92. It was a great time, great atmosphere! And yeah... that extended penalty kill was awesome. If we get another win tomorrow, I'll really enjoy the Super Bowl party we're going to, and I'll be one happy camper heading up 169 on Monday.
