NCAA Tourney Time!

[archerystud]

Just listened into Shaver on 93X this morning. He's down in Tampa covering the F4 and mentioned the disparity in locker rooms. 4 teams and only 3 rooms that resemble a locker room. BC seeded the highest gets the Lightning LR. Union gets the visitors. Ferris State gets an indoor football locker room. And the Gophers get a glorified janitors closet. Not big enough to even house all of the players.

Great venue choice by the NCAA's......sigh.

It definitely should help as a motivation factor.

Anyone BUT BC! Go Gophs!

So who do you guys like in the early game? I really have no clue and haven't watched either team all that much other than the regionals but something in my gut is picking Unioin.

[scsavre]

Im picking ferris state today.

WOW, just WOW is all I can say ...

Never thought I'd here that out of a Huskie faithful let alone you ..

So none of the crew made the trip down to visit Dougy and attend the game tonight?

[Bear55]

You in Florida Pier?

Union FS 0-0 after 1. 2nd period under way.

[Bear55]

Stupid work, I missed the goal but Union is up 1-0.

[Bear55]

Good first period, BC is very good team and have a 1-0 lead. Gophers were a little slow out of the gate but kind of took it to them in the 2nd half of the period. Lots of scoring chances, have to break the ice this period and get one by Milner.

No, there were 3 guys that he used to go with but they gave their FF tickets up a couple years ago. I even cheer for WI if they are playing against an Eastern school!!!

Gophs gotta bury one here.

[archerystud]

I also think Bjugstad gotta step it up. Some of the other Gophers are looking great ..... but him not so much.

[solbes]

I hate them. Come on Gophers. 2-0 BC

[archerystud]

Gophers gotta get one just inside the pipe like that!

[schmitty3]

Who do you think these espn announcers want to win

[archerystud]

Can they give Gary Thorne a pronunciation card for crying out loud. He is hamburgering most of the names.

I thought it was Lucia not Lusia....

[schmitty3]

Well that sucks. It's too bad they really wern't getting outplayed

[solbes]

Sucks for sure. Maybe all of these WCHA teams (U of M, UMD, UND, Wisconsin)need a lifeline to Scottie Owens. They completely dismantled BC last year in the tourney. And are the only ones I can remember to do so.

[Bear55]

Well it's epic comeback time, not sure if the gopher have that in their bag of tricks but we will find out, that last goal really hurt. They are playing good hockey, I just can't explain it they pepper the net and then BC comes down and scores. I dont' even know what the shots are but we have to be out shooting them and getting more scoring chances.

[Bear55]

4 goals on 15 shots, ouch. Can't even say Patterson has been bad, just one of those games.

[solbes]

About time!!

[Bear55]

Holy SH&T was that a goal!

[Bryce]

How does a rodent choker fan explain this? Something along the lines of someone took a "dump" on the the ice? We're talking a DQ masterpiece.

Barely got BC to break a sweat.

Signature cleansed.

[quackersmacker]

The same way you No Dak fans explain your last game......

[solbes]

This final is going to blow. I know I should watch it, but...

[Bear55]

Signature cleansed.

Ummm sig is still in play until the new champ is crowned, two more days.

Losses happen, it sucks, just be glad we took the punishment this year. UND would have lost by double digits.

Put BC on the list and get them another year, you won't beat us forever. Michigan owned us for a time but we managed to knock them out of the FF on the way to 2 NC's. Same for BC, we will get you next time.

Gophs on the upswing, it was a great year, future looks bright.

[schmitty3]

That was so frustrating to watch. Gary Thorne is absolutely awful. Come into the game and don't even know how to pronounce the head coach's name...what a joke. You woulda thought the gophs were playing team USA the way he was praising BC.
