I wouldn't exactly say the Gophers were impressive but they got the job done. The Sioux look like a machine right now and I think they will win tonight. Although,with the Gophers having home ice (nice recruiting tool), you never know

Wheeler shines when he has the puck. His weakness is away from "the action" and I think he even knows that. Too bad he doesn't have the mentality of Eric Rasmussen. Last night, they needed each of those goals, just as they would any other night and I'm glad someone took the reigns. It will be a good game tonight either way. I expect to see a lot of goals, one-sided, with whichever team gets the ball rolling first.

This is a great game. Of course, the WCHA Final Five final should be a great game. The Gophers are showing me something tonight.

Gotta go...the overtime is about to start...what a game!!

Although the score suggests otherwise, the Gophers dominated this session of "fire wagon" hockey. The amount of quality attempts was staggering in favor of the Gophers. It's playoff hockey and "the boys" are ready to get it on. It's time for the NCAA Tournament!

Nothing bad to say about Wheeler tonight, is there? grin.gif

Wheeler, that is the effort every player should have. I was b!tching to my son when he had a skate by and No Dak went back the other way but what a game and what a finish. I was telling my son that Broten got a goal like that against No Dak in 79 when I believe Casey was in nets. He look at me funny and then Frank brings it up to Wooger. Moral of the story is sometimes I know what I'm talking about.

M I N N E S O T A GO GOPHERS RAH!!!!!!!!!!!

The gophs definitely had it together last night, they pretty much controlled the tempo and play most of the game and in the end it paid off. Nice to see an effort for an entire game (actually 2 games) for a change. I'm glad I was wrong in my prediction for them. On the same note, I couldn't believe how bad scsu looked this weekend. They didn't even bother to show up on friday, I think UND actually dominated them more than what the score showed.

The best part of wheeler's goal was watching Lamaroux sit & pout for 5 minutes afterward. He spent the entire tournament jaw-jacking after every save he made & it was priceless to see him get shut up with that goal.

The gophs still have some work to do if they want to keep it going though. They are still trying to make every goal a highlight & not working hard enough to get the "dirty" goals (especially on the PP, seems like way too many soft passes), although the last one by wheeler was worth the highlight.

Once again it was a great tourney in st. paul & I can't wait to order my tickets again for next year. grin.gif

If any of you guys have scene a hockey game at The Ralph in GF. They put up a video on the scoreboard with highlights to get the crowd into the game which includes Holy Cross and the Bina goal earlier in the year. I was just suggesting they should add this highlight to the reel. GO GOPHERS

It was a great game. USCHO has the Gophers and Sioux predicted to be in the same regional...that would be unfortunate. These could very well be the two best teams in the country right now.

And after the way the Gophers won last night, I wouldn't want to face the Sioux again anytime soon...

After the game as I was leaving, Some jickey-jack was carrying a HOLY CROSS sign around. Wonder if he made it out of the X alive grin.gif

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.

      The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.

      It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.

      We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
