I'll be in Iowa City watching the football team so I won't get to watch these games. Hoping for good outcomes.....I'm thinking another split.

1. No
2. 0, because... see 1
3 No... oops I guess that is a yes.

This has been a very different team since Hastings has taken over. The Jutting days of cheap shots are gone. Do you still keep a Shack like player on the bench in case of emergencies? I haven't seen those types of players lately. Not that I watch gopher games especially since BTN wants another $130 to watch hockey games as they are seldom on BTN other than the PLUS package.

I'm going to see my first game in the cell phone center Friday, thanks to Mavfan14 for getting me tickets. I've been in there when there was no ice, but never for a game.

No Shack on the bench but #11 Seeler is more than willing to take a dumb penalty or throw some haymakers if a lost cow decides to run our goalie.

Verizon is a lot different since the last time the Gophers visited. It actually feels like msu's arena. Purple seats, an actual scoreboard with replays and a band that doesn't stink are the most notable changes.

As for the actual games, I have no idea what to expect. The first two msu series of the year were a complete buzzkill. The talent is still there, but losing 6 seniors was a pretty big hole to fill. Goaltending is also up in the air. It's a good team and they have been improving each week, but they've struggled.

Sorry, Bale, but honest assessments are not allowed here. Your team is all but guaranteed to sweep this series, because as you say, "the talent is still there". Gopher fans cannot honestly make this argument. I think it will take a miracle for the Gophers to win one game and get a split .... semi joking ....

Let me know when you're in town Friday.

Pairwise rankings:
Mankato -21st
UM 44th
Pretty clear what the outcome will be this weekend.

Hope the Gopher team from last Saturday shows up to keep it close.

Much of it could come down to whether a couple forwards step up and put the puck in the net. We started off with the worst offense in the country and recently we've been at about 4 goals per game. Bristedt/Fasching combo has really stepped up.

My brother and I tried to talk our friends into doing the hockey game on the way down but they weren't interested.

Thanks for the invite, we got a parking pass for Lot 65 so I'm not sure if we will stumble over that direction lol! This is my first trip to Iowa City, looking forward to tailgating and how electric the atmosphere is going to be with a 7pm kickoff and the undefeated Hawkeyes(Floyd on the line as well)......other than that it could be ugly for the visitors.

Dang it. I failed the interwebs. Again.


Give me some time though. Late in the week is when I get in the best pi ssing matches.

Probably not, we're not a bitter rival anymore. At least not as much as those powerhouses at Ohio state and Penn state.








D2D- I know it was a bit weak, but a snark comment about the Big Ten is always a good place to start, right?
