  • WCHA First Round - Minnesota Hosts UAA (Let's call it the vengeance series)

    Here's hoping we don't see a repeat of last year's miscarriage of a season being flushed down the toilet.

        In all honesty, this won't be pretty. UM sweeps, but I'll be happy if UAA can just keep a game close.

          I'd say several dates at the X. MN hosts the regional there too.

            After the series against Wisconsin, I don't know what will motivate the Gophers. A series at home, against their rivals, for the MacNaughton, couldn't motivate them to start playing until the last 15 minutes of the Saturday game. The Gophs just seem intent on coasting. Maybe at some point Lucia points out it is the playoffs and now is the time to play all 60 minutes.

Many of us have a tattoo waiting in the wings, WHEN (not IF) the Gophers are champions again.

              yeah, but Wisconsin does have 3 or 4 really talented players. what does UAA have?

              The reason for the talent in the west? Because MN didn't rely on Canada.

                  The series from last year still stings.

                    The thing that will carry the Golden Gophers is the crowd from last night. Nate Schmidt said that after the first goal the crowd was the loudest he has ever heard, and it gave him goosebumps. :>)

                      That's probably true since Nate's never been on a really good Gopher team.

                          Interesting - I didn't think the house could get louder than it did with the 6-2 *** kicking the Gophers gave the Sioux last year.... Would - Would of loved to of been in attendance last night, but I will be there this Sat :-)

                            Just like Hakstools experience in choking in 5 frozen fours will not help you guys out this year, UAA is road kill.

                              I imagine from a Gopher coach & player perspective this is the matchup they wanted.....regardless of where either team finished this season.

                              Minnesota's Pride On Ice: 1974, 1976, 1979, 2002 & 2003 NCAA National Champions

                              And I was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran
                              Twenty red lights in his honor
                              Thank you Jesus, thank you Lord
