Re: 2018 USA Olympic Women's Hockey Team
The Lam twins, did attend UMn. Bob Dylan also "attended" but did not graduate and we claim him, but then again he also won a Nobel Prize, the first ever musician to do so, so... lol
But when I talk about women's Olympic hockey games at the cbb site where some are honestly interested in it, I say it like this, current Gopher X got a goal or asst, while former Gopher Y got a goal or asst, while Z Lam, who started her career at UMn, got a goal or asst, all of which made the winning coach, a former Gopher, very happy.
Then they respond with some smart remark about everyone that plays hockey comes from Minnesota, so...
If I get the chance, I correct them and inform them that 1 or 2 might come from Boston, too. hehe

Originally posted by bluffrinkrat View PostIt certainly is a fact that they are ex-Gophers. Whether or not the twins would want more of a "presence on the walls at Ridder" I'm not so sure. As for the call of the Siren only they could answer whether it was initially emanating from Grand Forks or Vancouver.
Two of the most indelible memories I have of Ridder Arena are of Natalie Darwitz circling around on the power play with the puck looking to pass to Wendell or Stephens and also of the Lams rushing up the rink with the puck into the offensive zone along with whoever their left wing might be for that game. They probably should have won a national championship if it weren't for a nasty case of food poisoning and okay maybe Meghan Agosta.

Re: 2018 USA Olympic Women's Hockey Team
If #21 is your best player than she needs to play like it.
USA played well enough and if your going to lose a game than this is the one.
Also how did the linesman miss Canada being offside? That was pretty obvious watching it live.Last edited by FiveHoleFrenzy; 02-14-2018, 11:35 PM.At the outset, we could hang with the dude...

USA can work with that effort. I feel better than I did going into the game.

Better question is why didn't the USA challenge the play.CCT '77 & '78
