      The coach pulling Tretiak is probably the biggest coaching blunder of all time.

        My wife said she always has faith in her team (the Gophers) no matter what. Of course, it's easier to say that if you're not a 400 to 1 underdog.

        There's always a chance to win, but if I were a RMU fan at Labahn I would just enjoy the atmosphere of being there and of course, the hot chocolate and hot dogs. Sorry, I meant bratwurst.

          Rough 1st period for Tretiak, but yes, with the benefit of hindsight I think it was a big mistake, too. Those US kids were pretty dam good though.

          When I lived in Eveleth in the 80's, just a few houses from Pavelich's folks' home, the US hockey Hall of Fame had a room with memorabilia of the 80' team and played a video of the game with Russia constantly or whenever they could afford to keep the doors open anyway. I wonder if they still do that.

            They have both, but neither is very good.

            Often as not, the hot dogs (Cher-make) taste like they took uncooked, precooked dogs, shoved them in a bun, stuck the combo in a steam table and waited for the unsuspecting customer to come along. Last year, it was the same for the brats; Johnsonville precooked. They looked (and look) like there was no effort to do anything to "brown" them at all. This year - after I and who knows who else complained - they went back to Johnsonvilles that had to be actually cooked at some point (not necessarily that day) so one could see some effort at browning them had occurred. So occassionally, you get a decent one. But only occassionally. And that is generally true for LaBahn, the Kohl Center, Camp Randall, the Field House...

            (But like a dope, I keep buying 'em.)

                    Instead of begging people to buy tickets, tmitchell, why don't you entice more people to make the trip by telling us what St. Charles is doing to roll out the red carpet for Women's Hockey fans? What should fans look forward to around the arena before and after the games?

                        You are right! Downtown St. Charles has plenty to offer and over 150 restaurants to choose from, check out this website for more information on historic St. Charles and what it has to offer! http://www.historicstcharles.com/

                          At least you can wash them down with a tasty Royal Crown Cola. For a special treat, you even buy that RC Cola in a $4 bottle that's likely to be flat and semi-frozen. Yum!

                            Yes, but are any of them actually doing anything to welcome Frozen Four visitors? Will they even know the event is going on? Are any of those 150 restaurants within walking distance of the arena?

                            Passing along information like that is going to do far more to make a great event than spamming the board with ticket sales pitches.
