      Obviously, you're not married.

      Otherwise, you'd have more than enough aggravation in your life.

        You want to watch some good hockey, so you're going to go watch the Gophers?

          Why would you expect anything less? I know I don't expect anything less from you. At least when you make your gameday post rooting against the Gophers it can be for YOUR team this week.

            From Gophersports

            View From Minnesota State

            Shane Frederick is in his 12th season covering Minnesota State hockey for The Mankato Free Press.

            Minnesota welcomes Minnesota State to Mariucci Arena for two games this weekend. We talked to Shane Frederick of the Mankato Free Press about the Mavericks. Frederick is in his 12th season covering Minnesota State hockey for The Free Press and was previously the editor of Let's Play Hockey for five years. You can read his blog here and can follow him on Twitter @puckato.

            GopherSports.com: Shane, what can you tell us about Minnesota State this year?

            Shane Frederick: The Mavericks have struggled over the first two months of the season, winning just three games. Currently, they are on a five-game winless streak; they've also had a six-game losing streak already this season.

            Minnesota State has had an amazing number of injuries, especially on defense, as junior co-captain Tyler Elbrecht broke his arm in the first game of the season and has been out since (he was cleared for contact this week, however). Elbrecht and four other defensemen, including senior Cameron Cooper, have missed a combined 34 games to injury. That hasn't helped a rather inexperienced corps that lost a ton of minutes with the graduation of Kurt Davis, Ben Youds and Channing Boe.

            Also, sophomore forward Chase Grant, one of the bright spots from last season, has been lost for the season with a hip injury.

            As for the healthy players, MSU has a group of talented freshmen, led by winger Jean-Paul LaFontaine, nephew of Hockey Hall of Famer Pat LaFontaine. The all-rookie line of LaFontaine (7 goals, 3 assists), Matt Leitner (4 goals, 6 assists) and Max Gaede has been the most prodcutive group thus far, and freshman defenseman Zach Palmquist has played a lot and has seven points.

            Junior winger Eriah Hayes has played well of late. He is on a six-game scoring streak and has four goals and five assists. The LaCresent native also has 44 penalty minutes. Senior Justin Jokinen (2 goals, 4 assists) is coming off a strong weekend in a loss and tie to Alaska Anchorage.

            In goal, Bloomington native Austin Lee has played the most. He had a fantastic stretch going early in the season, including a 1-0 shutout at RPI to start the season and back-to-back wins at Michigan Tech and at home to St. Cloud State.

            GS: Who is one player that Gopher fans should pay extra attention to this weekend?

            SF: Gopher fans may remember the name Michael Dorr. The Roseville native played for Minnesota for one semester before transferring to Minnesota State. The senior winger is now one of the Mavericks' co-captains and has 1 goal and five assists this season. During his time with the Mavericks, he has 18 goals and 30 assists in 72 games. He scored a goal against his old team last year in Mankato. But these will be his first games in Mariucci Arena since he donned a Gophers sweater in the fall of 2008 when he played in two games for Minnesota.

            GS: What do you think the Mavericks have to do to win?

            SF: Despite their record, the Mavericks have had some strong first periods this season. Their only problem is that they haven't scored much (21 shots on goal, no goals in the first period at UMD, for instance) when they've had those opportunities. I think they need to get off to a quick start and hope their goaltending gets back on track. After a rough weekend in their own end against Anchorage, MSU has to do a better job with the puck and avoid unforced turnovers that leave their goalies out to dry.

            Minnesota fans should expect to see a typical MSU team--one that skates well and generally plays hard--much like previous Troy Jutting-coached teams. The question is: Do the Mavericks have the talent and the depth to keep it close or keep up.

Don't remember if this year's seniors were in that game but I don't think so, and Gophers won that game anyway. Hope we get better attendance when the MN tourney starts up.
              It will take time before attendance really improves.

                You understand I grew up a Sioux fan as well correct? I've been going to the Final Five since before the Mavs were even Divison I. As a kid my favorite color was green, I liked the Sioux, since age 3. Just always loved that green team and it probably helped the Sioux were pretty good in the late 90's as I grew into hockey knowledge, etc. Been a fan since.

                    My sympathies to you...

                    That does clear up some confusion though.

                      Definitely. I hate the gophers as much as anyone, but I don't just troll around posting against them every week

                          I can't tell which is worse. Sioux fan or Mav fan.

                            Sioux fan, a Mav fan is really a Gopher fan deep down.
