Time for Gopher Hockey.

St. Lawrence tonight.

Anybody care this year?

Nope. The time for Gopher hockey ended when they last won their 2nd in a row NCAA National title in 04. Since then they’ve mostly underachieved and then the ultimate outcome to total apathy was the Big 10 dictating they submit to “their” (Big 10) money grab.

Have you turned on a Gopher hockey game this year on TV? All empty seats…so sad compared to just 10 years ago when it would be standing room only. I was there…and stood and watched for a WCHA matchup with SCSU. More than once too…

Thought to care if you can’t watch.

Sad how irrelevant they have become. I think years of underachieving has caused it. Maybe it changes but too many sports to choose from in the cities to follow (even though all of them kinda suck).

I haven’t watched a game in a few years. Used to be a ritual to watch gopher hockey every Friday and Saturday night.

Go Sioux!

Don’t you mean the 27th ranked Hawks?

Oh ya we need to be PC the Fighting Hawks. You know the same team that beat you down in Vegas.

Beat me? How would anyone know, it wasn’t on tv?

I wouldn’t be bragging about beating the Gophers. If you had’nt your team would be a dumpster fire.

I will admit the TV coverage thing was dumb. It was on Midco which is in my area but I don’t have cable and I can’t even get it living out in the country. I had to listen on the radio just like the MN fans.

UND runs hot and cold, when they’re hot they seem unbeatable but then other times they may resemble a dumpster fire.

Gophs are on FSN at a normal time. We are up 2-0 in the first 4 minutes. 2 shots and 2 goals.

Maybe i’ll check in after American Greed. I find these con men fascinating.

Looks like a feller could have bought a ticket to get in tonight.

Bulldogs are the only team worth following in college hockey ????

#1 – St Cloud
#2 – Duluth
#3 – Mankato
#19 – Bemidji
#40 – Minnesota

I would say that they are the worst D-1 college hockey team just in this state, based on national rankings.

They still outdraw the women’s team (I think)

Yes, I can’t wait for that great Gopher hockey rivalry match against their arch nemesis Ferris State. Apparently, last year the Gopher fans (all 36 of them who packed into Mariucci Arena) took offense when the lone Ferris State fan in attendance yelled, “You suck!”. I guess this really hurt the Gopher faithful because, hey, the truth will do that to you sometimes, so this year they are out for blood and vengence.

In case you want to tune in, it’ll be airing on the Oprah Winfrey Network on live time delay starting at 11:35 PM. I guess the Big 10 Network wasn’t available because they were showing women’s LaCrosse in that time slot. Or if you want to attend in person, I have it on good authority that tickets are still available.

Be there or be square!
