Re: National Championship: Union vs. Minnesota (Choaches stay out of it!)
So cool to see a team wins it's first title. Congrats Dutchmen.

We brave the cold for tailgates, our friends know not to ask about the game after a tough loss, we laugh, we cry, we BLEED hockey, specifically the maroon'n'gold. Many of us have a tattoo waiting in the wings, WHEN (not IF) the Gophers are champions again.
I was a neutral in this game until a certain Minny fan turned me.
Sorry she dissed you. Maybe next time she will kiss you.

Well, congratulations to Union. That is a wonderful team you've got there. The game was a joy to watch, even though it didn't end the way I hoped it would. I am happy for the Union fans. It's a wonderful feeling to watch your team win it all, and I hope you take the time to savor the moment because you don't know when it will come again. Cheers!
As for the Gophers, I am very proud of this team. Considering the players they lost after last season, the number of freshmen they were relying on to play big roles, and the expectations coming in, this team far exceeded my expectations for this year. Lots of good things to build on, and with most of the team back, should be exciting times ahead.
Sad the season has to come to an end, but grateful I got to watch my team play until the end.

Congrats Rick Bennett and Union! And congrats to Don Lucia and the Gophers too. Great seasons for both and an exciting final!

Oh give me a break, PLEASE don't give me that much credit, lol, or are you that much of a dumarsh?! lol Dude, be a man, don't let a fan of another team determine how you feel about anything. I would love to take the credit for determinating how you feel about the greatest college hockey team in history, but I would love even more if you rose above such bs and used intelligence and reason to come to determinations.

Dude, you get it. Union deserved this. UMn honestly should be happy just to have been in this game. After what we lost from last year's team, how many Gopher fans thought we'd be here?! lol
