I know it has something to do with hockey law in Minnesota but I just want someone to recount the crazy *** home ice story for me.
    As FS23 said, it is because SCSU is locked in to the 4 or 5 seed. And since 4 plays 5 in the late game, no matter if they get 4 or 5 they are in the late game.

Many of us have a tattoo waiting in the wings, WHEN (not IF) the Gophers are champions again.

      The game I'm talking about is Thursday night. Gophs are lounging in their hotel Petey.

          Got it. Thanks. This crap makes me dizzy. Sounds like a standardized test word problem.

                The only one I've missed is 1996 in Milwaukee, otherwise I've been to the other 23. It is a fabulous spectacle, even better than the Frozen Four because of two big pluses. First is that its rivalry matchups, blood rivalries in some cases. Second, the seats aren't taken up by NCAA sponsors and official parties who spend most of the weekend working in back rooms instead of watching the games - so its a virtual full house.

                Lot of memories, starting with the vivid orange-red seats at the Civic Center in 1988. The ice really REALLY sucked that year. In the early 1990's, it also sucked to be almost alone wearing Sioux green in the middle of a sea of Badger and Gopher fans. But with UND now making its 10th consecutive trip, I'll have lots of company.

                Favorite game memories:

                1997 in overtime, Peter Armbrust cruising down the slot and a puck comes right to him for the GWG.

                2001 Friday afternoon. First Sioux game at the X. Karl Goehring with the "header" on a puck that comes floating in on him.

                2000 at Target Center. Sioux vs Badgers, and Ryan Bayda rocks a Badger D about 30 seconds in, setting the tone for a classic battle.

                So many fabulous players, so many great games. All I can say is if you don't have tickets, come enjoy it. Its worth the drive.

                  I don't have the spare vacation to go on Thursday, but I'll have to deal with that later in the year when I run out, because I'm not missing Tech at the Final 5.
                  Having a clear conscience just means you have a bad memory or you had a boring weekend.

                    I have to agree with everyone about how it sucks there will only be two of these left. Although I haven't been going as long as some people, my wife and I have been going every year since I got out of the military and got back to Minnesota. It's always been a weekend we both look forward to all year (even if St. Cloud doesn't end up being there).

                    As far as the final team waiting to get in, Lets go Red. Should be a great year for attendance no matter who gets in though.

                        I'm excited to be going again for the first time in about 3 years. Nothing else like it.

                          Come on Badgers. That would be the icing on the cake for the Final Five at the X.

                            So I forget...this thing is set up as a bracket now, right? Let's say it's UND vs. UW & SCSU vs. MTU. If UW beats UND, they'd still play UMD on Friday afternoon even though they're a lower seed than both pairs of Huskies?

                                I'm OK with that. I'd love another shot at the Gophers if we can win the Thursday game.
