    This is because these three games were part of the Sell Out this-or-that team promotion the last three seasons running. You'll note that they are consecutive years, all about the same time of the season. All the other "big" crowd games not part of those nights are in the 11,000 to 12,000 range against, I believe, Michigan (more than once, I think), North Dakota, and maybe a couple more. I'll have to research it.

        Just read UNO will be announcing plans to build a new 8,000 seat arena in the next few months.

          Just off work and god I hope you are lying. 8,000 is too small. Well i enjoyed the decent ticket prices while they lasted.

            I assume you are referring to Coach Blais comments in the Tribune today?

            Coach Blais did not say an 8000 seat arena, the writer did. Blais just said an arena without specifying any particular size.

            Most observers here would tell you it is unlikely UNO builds anything that small.

            Every fan I have talked to around here about this topic around here would have a conniption if they built a rink that small.

            UNO has averaged more fans than that on an yearly basis for 8 of the 15 years of the program! Your Tribune hockey blogger does not have all the facts on this one.

                Hopefully that second line can continue to contribute. I also hope that Thompson can come in and keep the mistakes to a minimum. Good thing Parenteau is with him, as I feel he has been our best stay at home d-man this year.

                  On UNO's side, I REALLY like these top two lines. It sounds from the Minnesota fans like their top two lines are stellar, so when those two are matched up against each other in some combination, it should be some terrific hockey. I also like the top 2 defensive pairings as well. Aneloski is really coming on. I will be a bit concerned with # 3 though, and would expect that pairing to be off the ice when Minny's top two lines are gunning. Enjoy the game tonight everyone!

                    The building seats 16,680 for hockey, despite any other published number you may have seen.
                    Your examples show us Trev was correct to leave the CCHA.

                      Very happy for Parenteau. Now we need to get Boyd a goal.

                      Hell of a game out of UNO. Pretty dang good team.

                        Great game. Lots of back and forth tomorrow should be a battle.

                        Agreed on Parenteau, he is a rock back on D and it's nice to see him rewarded with a huge goal.

                          Aside from a Tech-like 2nd period, I thought MN outplayed them completely. 3 pipes hit, lots of scoring chances, etc.

                          That being said, UNO is a good team, still nervous about tomorrow, but for now, WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                            Completely? No. Slightly yes. Once UNO got a couple of goal the gophers realized they had to play hockey instead of school yard bully. Loved the unsportsmanlike call on the face off. You don't get completely out played and end up in OT.

                              A fine game tonight. Good contingent of Gopher fans down here, I hope you enjoy your stay! I thought the first period was pretty even, UNO came out more physical than I've seen in some time. Minnesota is tremendously quick transitioning from d to offense and that got the first goal. UNO was terrific in the second period, very aggressive short handed and if they cash in on the 3 on 1 at the end of the Gopher powerplay late in the second to make it 3-1, the house woulda come down and I think its a different game. When Minnesota got their chances in the second, they were very, very good ones and Massa was sharp.

                              Third period Minnesota really carried the play, UNO's chances were few and far between. I'd like to know Minnesota's fans thoughts on their goaltender. He seemed to really fight the puck, especially up high. UNO had a couple of excellent opportunities very late in the third. The overtime was a good one while it lasted. I thought Broadhurst(who was our best player on the ice tonight) was going to get a shot off on net until he went down, and the game winner was an excellent shot.

                              Gopher fans, you've got a very deep team. UNO has two good lines but tonight the depth of your squad showed. I'm very, very pleased with the effort our boys gave, they just seem to be a shot, shift, or puck luck short at times this year, and I think that has to do with your squad has 4 deep lines, our team isn't there yet, but also isn't too far off.

                              Should be a fun one tomorrow with another big crowd!

                                Inconsistantly good. Too bad they couldn't have played like that against Bemidgi. Wait for next year Massa is going to be a rock. Like I said earlier, sorry about the organist.
