    I could easily see that. I will be disappointed if it isn't at least 12.

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

I used to be able to get at least one new drunk UND fan banned from here every year, it was a lot of fun. I care about UND's banners about as much as I care about Jimmy Butler.
      however, if I need a little fun in my life, I always have this.

      Most stick to their own team boards nowadays, Gopher fans included. I rarely post on this side of USCHO anymore.

      And yes, I'm also old.
      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.

        yes, I know I can go to sue sports to see the f' hawks crying, or GPL to see the gophers flying, and all game updates are on twitter, or such. Even though I have been a member of sue sports since it practically started, I don't go there to taunt them. Everybody hates anti-fans on their own board, which is why they went there to begin with.

          The expansion of social media basically killed boards like this. USCHO is network tv, and the other sites are the cable channels everyone actually watches.

            I do miss those old days. The score threads used to be a huge part of my Friday and Saturday nights. The week long game threads were fantastic.

              Agreed. The UND/MN threads were so epic.

                Aside from lack of diverse opinion, the problem with home boards is that fans tend to be so vested in positive outcomes that they turn into angry mobsters the minute things aren't going well--especially game threads. The Blackhawks site on HFboards is hilarious this way.

                  It'll be 5-zip before most gopher fans arrive. They will be running the clock straight time before the second period is over.

                    This is very true. Pitchforks come out much sooner.

                      This is odd: I hear they are changing the format to even up the odds up a bit by dividing the contest into three parts, like a triathlon. 40 minutes of hockey, and two scored contests for chin-ups and lawn mower throwing (flight distance only).

                      Now we got us a game that is perfect for this venue.

                        Well not quite. Isn't some kind of elevator activity in order? And in hockey news, two goalie commits this week. Kaleb Johnson (GF Central) and Cam Rowe (NTDP). I think the team is set in goal for several years.

                            Is Kaleb part of the Johnson GF hockey legacy?

                                Rowe was in net in their recent loss to the Gophers 7-1. With a GAA/4.55 and SV%/.830, he's projected to go in the 6th round. Nice.
