Originally posted by alfablue View PostAs far as I can tell, being the two schools that play mostly like this, it has had a major impact on the entire league. I struck up a conversation with an MSU player at Yost Friday- asking him if he's noticed it or if I was dreaming. He was pretty clear that the entire conference has shifted in their style of game to be more simlilar with Michigan and Minnesota.
I know mistakes drive fans totally nuts, and that many goals are seen as softies- but in general, this is the most entertaining hockey to watch. Even if we lose.
I've been looking forward to this weekend since the BC game.
I hope your right.Go Gophers!

Originally posted by 5mn_Major View PostMaybe but not sure. UW has held MN as its arch rival for decades. Its style is very defensive, clog the middle and counter attack in nature. I know that won't change. I wouldn't be surprised to see MSU and OSU shift to that approach.
I hope your right.
Like you guys- MSU has been our rival for decades, and back to the Ron Mason days, they where primarily a defensive team- just lock down, slow down, and frustrating as heck to play. But not this year. Things have changed. I didn't expect the MSU player I talked to admit the change, but he did. I was expecting more of a "not as much as you think...." kind of answer. Instead it was total confirmation that thing have gotten faster and more open.
I very much hope what I see is real and will last a long time. If so, this B1G thing is awesome.
At least we know what to expect at Yost this weekend.

While Gurt and I would normally be perfectly happy with cheering against the golden rodents in any scenario, the idea that getting swept by Michigan opens the door for UW to maybe win the conference title outright does add a cherry to the top of the **** sundae we'd like the gophers to eat this weekend.If you want to be a BADGER, just come along with me
BRING BACK PAT RICHTER!!!
At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."
Canned music is a pathetic waste of your time.

Well, you did say "maybe" so I guess that's your cop out.

Originally posted by Tiggsy View PostSo you think bucky and it's amazing 4-7-1 record away from home can pull off their first away sweep of the season, NOT against a celler dwelling expansion team that took you to overtime? Good luck with that because you may have your own **** sundae ready if that's what you're waiting for.
Well, you did say "maybe" so I guess that's your cop out.
I'll go on record saying that a Badger sweep this weekend is more likely than a Wolverine sweep, but I'm rooting for both all the same.

Just give us the damn trophy already. It was ours to lose since the beginning of the season, it's just no one wanted to admit it.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.
