    Re: An open an honest proposal for the WCHA final five

    Allright I get that this thing was a swing and a miss, but what peanut gallery idiot left the words "absolutely uncalled for" on my rep? If you're gonna show me that you're more man than I, at least have the chutzpah to be more of a man than me.

      To add on to the downpour that has been this thread, other than travel, what "advantage" are the Gophers getting by it being at the X? The crowd? Its Gophers vs. everyone else, which comes out to be a wash. And hate to break it to you, but the Gophers play on an Olympic sized rink, not an NHL one, so there's no advantage there either.
      tUMD is Jan Brady per Brenthoven. Whew.... thanks for clearing THAT up.

        this has been argued over so many times, many wcha fans just assumed you were trolling.

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

          Have you attended a game in which the Gophers are actually on the ice? It may be Gophs v World for the fans in the stands, but the Gophs still win.

          The only thing wrong with the Final 5 in St. Paul is that the city needs more bars. It's tough to move around inside the existing ones.

              Been to multiple, and I'd give the Gophers more than half the crowd but only (at most) half the noise.

                Some of us are working on a plan to counteract this problem. If you have a few grand you're willing to risk, you can become part of the solution.

                  "Santa Lucia's" on West 7th?

                  I would love to see Denver get a shot just to see how it would draw. I know our Denver contingent are skeptical of how it would do but a ski/hockey vacation would be epic.

                    I would like to see the WCHA move the F5 to Denver for the years that the X hosts the Frozen Four.

                      Agreed. I played inside the Eagle Street Grill with the band today and it looked crowded before we came in.

                        They thought it was an audition for the Futile Four. Your typical 'one and done' type promotion. Man, twitch, you really had to go make me remember that? See what this thread has done?

                          It'd probably be called the Rusty Spork, actually.

                          Another name that's in the running is the Double Doosh.

                            Realistically as someone who spent 18 years growing up in the Denver 'burbs I think the WCHA would make more $$ with it in Houghton than Denver, and i'm not being sarcastic this time.

                              Denver would draw 7-8,000 for the WCHAs, and up to 16,000 if DU were in the finals. Hell, half of North Dakota's fan base lives here in Co. after leaving North Dakota. More money than Houghton, but less than St. Paul.

                                I had gotten there just after noon--never even made it into the door before deciding on The Liffey.
