    /totally shameless. will take free wins.
    It'll be interesting on how this plays out. I'd laugh if someone legitimately forgot about their socks or something, and it got reported.
    Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

      "These players aren't wearing the new blank green helmets. You'll have to play with 7 forwards and 4 defensemen. For some reason, no hockey shops will sell North Dakota equipment here in Minneapolis. And your assistant coach has a Sioux logo tattoo. He's banned from the arena."

        I assume they'll just have a jersey that says sioux minus the logo?

          It can't even say Sioux. I've heard it will just say North Dakota.

            Correct. The biggest rumor is that if UND drops the Sioux name, they will not even choose a new nickname.


            And just posted on GopherPuckLive, the tailgate is on. Starts 9am Saturday, behind the Dairy Queen. Beerdarts will be there of course, and a port-a-potty will also be there (and I would assume that a $5 donation to help with that cost is recommended, like it was for the F5). There should be some homebrews there, and donations are welcome for that, also. The homebrews are always very tasty, btw.

            All are invited to join. It's a very friendly tailgate, as past attendees can attest to.

              Don't know about Friday, but I've heard the logo for the second game will be a garden hose.

                I have no clue what you're talking about.

                And I just hope that the ASPCA and Sarah McLachlan don't come after the Gophers when they beat down the Terriers.

                      Can they (!) the NCAA?

                        Not sure what you are saying, but if I had to take a guess, any normal conference game, they are fine. It's only specific NCAA games and tourneys that these rules apply.

                            This really is the easiest possible regional for Minnesota. 3 no name opponents should make for an anti-climatic weekend of hockey. Gophers might be tested at the Frozen Four. Depends who else goes.

                              Any word on any Boston area stations that might pick up these games? Unfortunately I won't be able to attend :-(

                                Agreed. I have never heard of any of the other three schools, much less any of them being hockey powers. I am sure the 'X' will be 95% Gopher fans. Minnesota rolls to the Frozen Four after blowing out BU (Baylor?) and UND (Notre Dame?). Already bought my plane ticket to Tampa.
