Re: WCHA Final Five: Hello Empty Seats

That settles it. Problem solved.
Move the tournament to North Dakota and no more empty seats.

Since, you live in Southern California I will never be able to take you seriously. Thanks beach boy.

FINAL FIVE FACT: UND's streak of eight consecutive Final Five appearances is the league's longest active streak.

Re: WCHA Final Five: Hello Empty Seats

Consecutive means in a row if that is what you are confused on.

If?

We don't care.

Hello Empty Seats!

I think Gopher fans would fill the building even if they palyed an afternoon game.

Correct.

In order for the WCHA to make more television money they need the Gophers to play the night.

Re: WCHA Final Five: Hello Empty Seats

That is correct.

Looked at my Final Five pin collection. You were correct: Milwaukee in 94, 96, and 98.

Re: WCHA Final Five: Hello Empty Seats

People who don't like it in St. Paul have, a) never been to it in St. Paul, and b) are suffering from some misguided notion that Minnesota has been afforded an advantage by having it played in St. Paul.

They don't realize that even though it's been played in St. Paul 17 times and Minneapolis twice, Minnesota has only managed to win the title 4 times there. Furthermore, they are 4-7 in the championship game, not exactly a stellar home ice advantage. Finally, the championship has been played elsewhere (Milwaukee) three times. Once Minnesota wasn't even in the tournament. The other two times they won it.

Just shows how pathetic the Gophers are. They can't even capitalize on having the home ice advantage.

Maybe we should move it back to Milwaukee then.

Re: WCHA Final Five: Hello Empty Seats

Maybe 94, 96, and 98 then. I'll look tonight.

That is correct.

'98, I believe.

Re: WCHA Final Five: Hello Empty Seats

I thought it was twice (though I can't be sure until tonight when I can look at my pin collection) What are the 3 years? I know 1994. I think 1992 (again, have to look at my pins).

'98, I believe.

Re: WCHA Final Five: Hello Empty Seats

People that don't like it being in St. Paul can never offer a credible alternative or how that alternative would work as well or better than the current arrangement. The simple fact of the matter is no other city can top it - much less match it - in terms of location and guaranteed money/attendance.
