    This is the best year for that to be the case in Wisconsin's perspective. The eye test doesn't lie and trying to be as objective as I can about it...Minnesota just isn't that good.
    At the outset, we could hang with the dude...

      UW and UM played two one-goal games back in October, one going OT. Everybody in the top 4, or 6, or 8 in the Pairwise has shown they can lose to pretty much anybody on any given night. And we're rapidly approaching the part of the year when one bad night finishes the year. Minnesota is plenty good enough.

        Gee, let me see if I can remember a BC being #1 recently and how that worked out . . .

          I don't think you're getting robertearle's point (i.e., location trumps seeding).

            I guess I did, so you mean that where the WCHA plays affects them winning a national championship

              No. Nevermind.

                Maybe just where they eat, especially if they're in Boston for the championship? Just ask a former Minnesota goalie.

                          Random thoughts. Gophers looked out of gas in the 3rd period (maybe most of the 2nd, too). Having an extra week off was evidently not a good thing. Don't ever remember them having that many icings in a game. Things seemed to go downhill after the third time in the 1st period that the cameraman showed the "three (Gopher) amigos" in the crowd, or the "usual suspects" depending on your point of view. Badgers were buzzing for the last 2 periods and never looked tired at all.

                            I had never heard of the program, but it sounds interesting. I read about it on Wikipedia. Is the 19th century Austrian physicist Christian Doppler an ancestor to the Doppler family? Don't think he ever worked on time travel or wormholes though.

                                Not since '65 and '69 when the river was threatening downtown St Paul and rising up over Shepard Road. Lot of sandbagging going on then. After the sandbagging it was fun canoeing around Holman Field airport though which was completely under water. Or maybe you meant something else?
