Huskies/Gophers

[Wallyeyes]

What would you do for a ticket to either the Friday St Cloud home game or the Saturday Gopher home game? Not sure about the Saturday game but the Friday game has been sold out for awhile now. And NO I don't have any available tickets! Best two teams in the country? Probably.

[rocky]

I would agree that these are probably the best two teams in ther country. Notre Dame being ranked # 1 is a complete joke. New hampshire can maybe be figured in the mix but that is about it.

[Wallyeyes]

Yeah, I personally have not seen Notre Dame play this year but I have a really high opinion of the WCHA. The best conference in college hockey, hands down, no comparison.

[redlake]

Notre Dame won't see the final four. I can garantee you that. Notre Dame will be hard pressed to beat Niagra or Bemidji State in the first round. They have a streghth of schedule that is worst than every team in the WCHA. How they are number 1 only sweet Mary knows.

The St. Cloud State Huskies are a great team. I keep repeating this and nobody from the Maroon and Gold will recognize this team as being every bit as good as the goofs. The goofers were nervous with the sioux coming to town......how about a team with a better goalie, faster defenseman, and more depth across their fowards?

I predict a Husky sweep this weekend on goaltending alone. This team is jacked to turn the corner and this weekend they will.

Mark it down.

A sweep? hahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahah...thanks, I needed something to wake me up. That is one of the funniest things I've heard all week.

[sticknstring]

Not so sure about a sweep but a home and home split wouldn't surprise me. SCS should have their legs goin after a one-point weekend against the Badgers last weekend. I was planning on going fishing this weekend so I may have to settle for the radio but we'll see how this storm plays out. It's going to be a great series nonetheless. I agree - Notre Dame isn't going anywhere. Go Huskies!

[Sutty]

I think the gophernation has given pleanty of props to SCSU. They are a very solid team and have gone on a great run this year. I think it will be a great series. I am thinking split or 3 points for the good guys (gophs)

[VMS]

Hey setter...if the gophers are swept, will you eat crow?

[Team Otter]

A sweep is entirely possible. I just don't think the Gophers will be on the "dust pan" end of it.

Sure to be a great series nonetheless.

[bassNspear]

Tickets are gone, and im rooting for the gophers. Should be a great series this weekend.

[Wallyeyes]

Tickets may be gone, but I'll have the best seat in the house tonight. Right behind Briggs. See, I get to goal judge the game tonight, so no ticket necessary for me. See you all at the game if you're lucky enough to get in!

[PierBridge]

Sweet.....who ya rooting for?

[Wallyeyes]

Well I gotta say a Husky win would be sweet, however as a former on-ice official I have learned the importance of total impartiality.(Is that a word?) And as a goal judge that is of the utmost importance. We are not supposed to show any emotion what-so-ever, and seeing as I am being paid for my services I will adhere to the code of conduct. When I'm in the box behind the net, I have no interest in the outcome of the game. I must tell you that the only thing I worry about when I'm working a game is making sure the right call is made.

[redlake]

I will be keeping a close eye on the goal judge this eveing. Good luck!

Go Huskies!

[tgff009]

I grew up a gopher fan and graduated from SCSU - who do I root for? I'm so confused...Go Gophers!

[knoppers]

I live inbetween the cities and st. cloud. I have the same dilemma. being a long time gopher fan, I have to go with the huskies. they are a less known smaller school, and I hope they win it all this year. last I looked, 4-1 huskies.

[huntingmaxima]

Just got home from the game Huskies win 5-1.

[redlake]

No contest.

St.Cloud has a goalie.

[braves57]

what happened???

Setterguy, it is now possible!!!

Huskies looked like a much better team than the rodents! See what happens tomorrow. Go huskies!!!

[PierBridge]

I'm sure Jill will be here soon gloating....tough nite for Hockey Guy....

[Team Otter]

Since "the streak" was ended, it really has been a boom or bust proposition for the Gophers. They are either really on or really off and last night was obvious that they fall into the latter of the categories. Coming down the stretch, that is a problem but hopefully they can work through it and keep their heads above water. Again, youth and/or lack of experience is going to prove to be an issue.

I was at the game on Friday and it was great. I only called Hockey Guy once and he said the huskies simply outplayed the gophers. Hockeyguy is a gophers fan first, but he stills likes the huskies having graduated from SCSU.

It should be an interesting game tonight. The gophers will be looking for a win at all costs.

[PierBridge]

The better team won this series out played and out COACHED.

Nice job by Lucia for second year in row he has turned the best team in the country into a mediocre team down the stretch.

[Andrew Erickson]

that game sucked

[Jarrod32]

Time to recognize St. Cloud as a serious championship contender.
