    Re: 2014 Inaugural Big Ten Hockey Tournament 3/20 - 3/22

    Today is generally considered the "Thursday" of the week, due to the games tomorrow, and many of us tailgating pre-game and having no interest in spending time on the interwebs.

    I just figured that MN will win the tourney in a cakewalk, so why bother breaking anything down?

      It's give and take and just for fun. If I can get a few laughs out of it - even at my own or my team's expense, but better yet at Goldy's expense - it makes the games a little more fun.

      If you don't see the point or don't see the fun in it, no worries. There are sticks in the mud amongst every fan base on here and they typically stay away so they can go over depth charts and pk schemes in their basements.


      Hmm... domination may be my new goal. I've always wanted to win the internet and if it's at your expense, that's just sweet. But obviously I don't go for just a post count. It's all about quality. And any chance I can take shots at WI or MI fans is as quality as it get.


      So does either MI or PSU really feed off the home atmosphere they have so much that this game will affect them? How will playing in the silence be for either of them since almost no one will likely be there. Look at all the posts from locals already saying there is no intention of hitting Thursday games at all.

        But only for the 4 teams playing. Since the Gophers don't play until Friday, does that mean this is still "Thursday" for us too? I'll likely be killing time here Friday morning at work since I'm stuck until noon when I can head down to the tailgate.

          Tomorrow will be mostly dead. The MI-PSU game will have more attendance, if only because it's the better matchup considering the season's record between the two teams/notoriety.

            I would suppose it's still Thursday, because MN will play one of the teams that's playing tomorrow. And again, that whole lack of posters due to tomorrow's games/events.

            As for the tailgate, sounds like it's an 8am start time each of the days.

              Ohio state and michigan state played to 3 ties and a 2 goal game. Should be a great game the 5th time around.

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

                  But no one cares about those two schools. There's at least....I dunno, 5-6 people who care about MI and PSU.

                      I'll care about them (one of them anyway) on Friday night.

                        You and me both. Friday will be long a morning for me.

                          I have no intention of "growing a pair", thanks.

                          I fear that Penn State will beat us for a 3rd time.

                          And I wouldn't say the goofs were 'mean' in the series thread last weekend. I just wonder what game they were watching Friday night, 'cause I saw a close game that required an overtime powerplay goal to win. Certainly not the domination some fans made it out to be. I will grant you that ya'll had a dominating season and have a great team.

                          From what I've seen, Michigan still has a ~20% chance of making the tournament with a loss to PSU. I'd much prefer they win a few this weekend to increase those odds.

                            So I guess you and I are running this place Friday morning. Does that mean we win the internet? At least for that time.

                            You may be correct in your assessment of Friday, but you are forgetting about one key thing that is impacting how we saw the game. tArrogance! With that factored in, we did in fact dominate the game.

                              Sure looks that way. I wish I didn't have to work at all but I won't complain about a half day. Just got a bust butt down to that tailgate and do some catching up!

                                This tourney should grow on me. I hope we see WCHA like rivalries and fans like the good old days.
