unless he goes complete ghost mode down the stretch, would be shocking if he's part of the hobey hat trickI have to give a shoutout to Jimmy Snuggerud. I was one those people who assumed that based on the way he played the last 2 months of the season last year he had one foot out the door. The way he has played this season, not just individually but from a team perspective, makes me think the rumors of him playing with an injury last year had some truth to them. He has come back and played some great hockey and been a huge leader on this team. He may even have a chance to be a Hobey finalist - pretty cool to see his work pay off.
Yeah 27 is not goodBig Ten reffing is still a joke.
Does the Big 10 actually employ their own refs or are they the same ones that other conferences use (like basketball)?Big Ten reffing is still a joke.
Yeah I like the early start as well.I took in my first game of the season this past Saturday at Mariucci, and it was quite fun. It was great to be at a Sold Out arena and have it be way over 90% Gopher fans. The pair of North Dakota games I have been to (post-WCHA split) it was much closer to the 50-50.
Also, I am a huge fan of the 5PM puck drop (on Saturday).
