Sansevere: How tired do you think you will be, going right from the Olympics to playing in the WCHA and NCAA tournaments?
Noora: I don't think I'll be tired. We'll be playing in Canada, so there will be no time difference. It would be different if we were playing in Europe. I am used to playing a lot, so I don't think that will be a problem.
Notice I said "current." The weekend has just begun!!!
I think the team has been spoiled by Cookie Mom. They're used to getting cookies at the home games. So they won't turn down fresh cookies while on the road either.
Give blood... Play Gopher Hockey!

Woo Hoo, time to head to Cam....well, actually Allston, since the rink is on the other side of the Charles River. Looking forward to rooting for the Gophers and the new girl with the big hair!!
Reminded me a little of the Friday game in Madison with a strong start by the Gophs, then a little sloppy in latter stages...although not nearly as severe as in Madison.
Gophers really not generating much during their early dominance.
The live announcers are interesting. Thuggish? Not dirty but close to it?
Yes...interesting indeed. Gophers were "throwing a lot of elbows" I was unable to see. I thought they missed one near the end of the 2nd when West was taken down on a rush. Does look a little physical out there...both ways. Is this an example of the alleged more physical nature of the WCHA compared to other conferences? Regarding the "incredulous" reaction by video commentary team, that is?
