Quick note from a lifelong Gopher hockey fan. If you're looking for something to watch tonight and aren't already aware, there is a massive hockey game on BTN at 7PM CST.
Golden Gophers vs badgers for the Big Ten conference championship. This is the biggest game in modern Big Ten hockey history (started in 2013-14).
Why? Two top five teams in the country. First game between two 20+ win teams this season. 300th meeting against the Gophers' biggest current rival. Gophers are 176-99-24. Hobey Baker winner (Caufield) on the other team. Two highest even strength goal scorers in the country facing off (Caufield (17) vs. Ranta (15)). Ranta was going to be a badger until a few weeks before classes started. #1 seed in the tournament on the line. First time these two have played in a conference championship since 1990.
Sorry for the off topic post, but hockey doesn't get a lot of buzz these days. Check it out if you want to skip the Office reruns and let's see what this team is made of!
