    Nope. The same thing happened for BTN considerations last year, too, except it was MSU at Mariucci last year. It was the worst crowd of the season that year, and will likely prove to be the same this year. A lot of people either aren't expecting it or have to work Friday morning so don't want to deal with it. Really, it's just more B1G Mistake suckage.

      That's kind of frustrating. The B1G and BTN should not make hockey suffer for their benefit- I'd rather them not show a game then compromise the home ice advantage that much. Stupid.

      Especially for one of the larger (if not the largest) fanbase in the country.

        The Big 10 is not horrible, far from it. The teams that make up the Big 10 have more combined national championships than the combined total of any other conference in college hockey. It just so happens that two teams (Wisconsin and Michigan State) happen to be going through an uncharacteristically down period right now, that doesn't make the conference horrible. In time those two teams will soon enough return to their rightful place next to Michigan and Minnesota as perennial national championship contenders.
        National championships won by Big Ten schools : 23 (Michigan 9, Wisconsin 6, Minnesota 5, Michigan State 3, Ohio State 0, Penn State 0, Notre Dame 0)
        National championships won by NCHC schools : 21 (North Dakota 8, Denver 8, MN-Duluth 3, Colorado College 2, St. Cloud State 0, Miami 0, NE-Omaha 0, Western Michigan 0)

        23 > 21

          I''d grab a drink and settle in for a while as far as MSU goes. You never know what could develop but morale in EL in regards to the current staff is, well, you know...

          Anyways, is anybody watching Wisky/OSU on BTN right now? They keep showing a commercial advertising the WCHA tournament. Doesn't that seem odd?

            The second half of the game the Gophers were atrocious. Down by a goal then two, they didn't muster much. The later it got, the worse initiative they had. Didn't see the end of the third, but from what I saw it was probably the worst period of the year...due to everything being on the line.

            Agreed about tonight. We won't know until the end of the season, but 50/50 chance that everything that's important is on the line tonight.
            Even if MN wins out, and loses the B1G Tourney to MI in the title game, they are most likely out of the tournament, barring some bizarre things.

            Basically, it's B1G Or Bust.

              Hell yeah!!
              Gritty, gritty win tonight. I'm just glad total goals don't count in these series


              Brent's right, though. When the Gophers lost that game to PSU in Minneapolis that pretty much sealed their PWR fate. I think we are in the same situation as last year. Win the Big 10 Tournament and we won't need the autobid, lose and we won't qualify.

              But you never know....sometimes goofy things can happen. But the guys gotta beat the teams they are supposed to from here on out.

                MTU losing to Alaska would have helped. It's stuff like THAT that would make a difference. The MTU-AK game was close, but alas, no go.

                      Sorry. You gotta have ****cakes in a conference

                      Just like the SEC has perennial also-rans the big6 will have 2 teams who every year suck ***. 1 who is in the "citrus bowl" caliber .500 once every 4 years. One who makes the cotton bowl 1/3. Then an Alabama and a lsu

                        Same old ****.

                        Now people know why I'm so down on this team despite its great record at the surface.

                        "Blah blah you're still #6 in the PWR"

                        That can change in a heartbeat in this league given over half of it is garbage.

                          Even though it was a bomb, no screen. Racine should probably make that save from that distance.

                            Racine has done this four times this year. Once at PSU, last week at Wisconsin and twice tonight. Not to mention the two late goals yesterday and the game-tying goal with 1 second left at OSU.

                              The way they are playing now for sure they would have won more games at the beginning of the year.

                                Great win for the Gophers tonight in OT. Really happy for the guys, they worked hard and got rewarded. Congrats to Hudson Fasching, a great kid who has really elevated his game this season. Great series Michigan! See you in the tourney. The laser by Fasching >> OT GAME WINNING GOAL
