I didn't get that impression when I watched a lot of the UND series. I'd be surprised if they get swept out here. Think the Gophs are 3-0-1 in last 4 against BC. NU isn't a great team either. BC is off to a good start but hasn't played a very tough schedule. I am expecting a toss up on Sunday.

OK. The UND series the team was lights out great. It was a masterful series. Beyond that, not so much. We are 2-15 I think against admittedly a very good set of instate rivals out of the last 17 (Duluth, St. Cloud, Mankato, Bemidji).
The bigger picture is that we had a massive recruiting class last year and it was quite soft...we recruited an entire fourth line and another guy who sits on the bench. Goalie Schierhorn can steal games though. We did pick up a tiny but very good frosh class (Lindgren a future Gopher captain from the NTDP and Pitlick, last year's USHL scoring leader by a mile), but they've not turned the corner. We've got some great classes coming up (including the top American next year Casey Mittelstadt), but they're not here now. In the short term, we are great at playing not to lose...but that means we often do. And year's when we're on...we are a complete five player puck control machine...or this year when we're not, we don't play with grit nor have much fire.
We could sneak out of NE with a win. But unless we get a strong start, I can't believe we're going to keep up with a rested BC.
Thanks Grant. Good job by you folks over at BC Interruption.

Stomping down one fanbase across two sports in the span of 4 days really makes for a nice week doesn't it?
Don't get me wrong they are nice people if you can get past how delusional they are.

The fact that you BC fans revel in the superiority of your team in an admittedly weak league leads me to believe you will be more sorely disappointed when the end comes than we will.
BC ticket page : $3 tickets for the Minnesota game on Sunday, plus the $10 handling fee.
I wonder if you might be better off waiting... they're advertising $5 tickets with no service charge for tomorrow night after 10pm. Better deal if you're after a pair.
