    I think it's already close to a sellout, when I looked online a couple days ago, there were only scattered singles left and you couldn't buy tickets together in a pair.

    Now, obviously, that was mostly sales to Minnesotans before the Gophers were eliminated, and I'd guess there will be plenty of open seats and/or tickets available on the secondary market, but as ARM mentioned, if you're coming from a distance, it would probably be wise to try to lock them in before getting on a plane.

      Howdy! Long time lurker. Just wanted to let any Buckeyes who are making the trip to Minneapolis know that the Minnesota chapter of the Ohio State Alumni Association is in the process of setting up a n event Thursday night around 6:30/7 in the area by the team hotel. Those invited include parents, former players, all alums, coaches (after team dinner), and the A-Band who is making the trip as well. I'll update y'all when we secure the location.


      It's a sellout... tried to buy group tickets for our alumni association today and they were all out. Gotta go through the schools

        I know. You know I know.

          Experience will win out here. With the exception of top line froward rookie Giguere, who is not your average rookie, all of the key players have been to at least 1 final four and most have been to two -taking home the trophy last year. Last week with Mercyhurst shows that every team has to show up to win this but the advantage of the Clarkson top line and the depth and experience of the team should carry them to victory.

            This is hilarious.

            I didn't (NCAA's doing) watch the OSU vs BC game but I hope that OSU skates on Friday like they did vs UMD back in January. It was an extremely fast series, buzzer to buzzer. Not saying that CU has no speed (I don't actually know) but if OSU adds that component that they are capable of to their arsenal it will test CU even more and should provide for a very entertaining game.

              At the advice of the Gopher ticket office, I called and got a couple tickets today, so I am set there. Thanks.

                FYI, the family is meeting pregame at Sally's Saloon just off campus at 1:00pm Friday.
                Thank you so much EPIC97!!! I will write that down so I do not forget! And thank you for the kind words! We love our kids and their families! Cannot wait to get there!!!

                  If you stand facing the player benches you won’t have to look at all the championship banners but you can look at the team photos of your coaches right behind you (BC fans could have admired the pictures of their assistant coach if they had actually made it to the FF)
                  Thanks for the tips Poke!

                    OSU knows about being underestimated. Our team has been underestimated all season and likely will be this weekend.

                      Some of the OSU Vote reflects posters voting their hearts & pledging allegiance to the Buckeyes. Most of the rest reflects posters lending support to two members of the OSU Coaching Staff. There may be a couple of contrarians in the mix.

                      I definitely voted with my heart and am not underestimating the Golden Knights. I doubt if anyone is underestimating the #1 overall seed in this tournament.

                          The only people underestimating TOSU are some foolish fans. Anyone who follows women's college hockey objectively and especially the Clarkson coaches and players are not underestimating TOSU. I know I am not after watching how they dominated BC for 2 periods and then let Ms Sauve display her George Vezina talents in the third period. May the best team win. If it is TOSU, I will say congrats just as I think TOSU fans will congrats Clarkson if they win. Wish I could be there to see the game but will have to watch it on the internet.

                              Meanwhile, Clarkson has somehow managed to slip beneath the radar again, after being the favorite a week ago. I kind of understand how it happens from a different perspective, because there was a long period where the WCHA team would be slightly overlooked most years. Dartmouth, Harvard, UNH, Cornell, BC -- there always seemed to be some team that looked just a bit more formidable than the best that the WCHA had to offer.

                              And every year it would play out the same, right up until Clarkson flipped the script. I've seen with my own eyes several times this year how good tOSU is. However, I've also see that Clarkson is better. The Buckeyes can still win, but they'll have to beat a better team. They swept UW, so it isn't outside the realm of what they're capable of doing, but being good likely won't be enough. IMO, Clarkson >>> BC this year. For one, the Golden Knights should give Tiley a lot more help than BC gave Burt.

We have reserved the place and will be providing some light apps (cash bar and the kitchen will be open for dinner). All alumni or Buckeye fans are welcome to join us, including parents and former players. The Athletic Band will also be there and will play a song or two for us.
