Re: WCHA Final Five Semi: St. Cloud State vs. Wisconsin

We're ready to roll. I mean, we just creamed Mankato, so that proves we're a championship team.

You heard it here first.

I'm here to help.

Pope because you weren't there last night, I had to give the Final Five blessing

Re: WCHA Final Five Semi: St. Cloud State vs. Wisconsin

I am going on the record by saying St Cloud will win this game, only because its on a friday and fridays are our turn with these series this year....
I am attempting to go to the game friday, trying to scrounge up a little more dough and get down to the X. Anyone have an couple extra tickets for friday?

As long as both teams are on their game, this should be a real barnburner of a game. Both teams got a road win and a home win in the series this season in four games tighter than the final scores (especially at Herb's joint) would seem to indicate. Should be a real delight even for the casual fan to take in.

wasn't the 7-4 loss on a Saturday in Madison 5-4 about halfway through the 3rd? I know the scores are 4-1 in the split earlier in the year, but I can't recall how those games unfolded.

I am sure you can get in for half price if you buy from a scalper.

I remember watching the first game and it was 2-1 with a minute to go, then St Cloud got an ENG and then another goal after that. I believe the shots were almost 2 to 1 for Wisconsin that night. I didn't get to see the Saturday night game.

Change the names around a little bit and St. Cloud fans would probably say the same thing about playing Wisconsin.

fair enough... 3 close games against Mankato last weekend is kinda weird i thought.

Which was actually 5 close games against Mankato over two straight weekends. Mankato's kind of an odd duck. They quite often have a lot of success against St. Cloud no matter how good either team has been playing. Doesn't seem to translate outside of the matchup, though.

(Mankato also came up on the losing end of a ton of close games this year, too)

yeah as usual it will most likely come down to goaltending. both teams can strike quickly so a couple big saves may swing the game.

At the very least I hope we can come together as two fanbases with something we can both agree on and publicly mock the Gophers for their conspicuous absence.

I both agree and will mock the gophers for their conspicuous absence. Although I doubt there will be many gopher fans there, as most of them aren't real college hockey fans.

They don't have tickets. They never buy tickets until they know there team is in.

You better be there. I'm not making a pilgrimage to the X if I can't visit the Pope.

Re: WCHA Final Five Semi: St. Cloud State vs. Wisconsin

I don't get why it's so conspicuous. They played like a 7th place team all year. I find it fascinating that folks are so surprised they're not going to be in St. Paul.
