    He SAT one section away from me. I haven't seen him in the arena in years before that. When I did se him it was on the other side of the rink, closer to Greyeagle's seats.

    Beat me to it. It is one thing for a young fan not to know names of former Gophers. But when they played on the 1980 Olympic team and were a major component, it is hard to forgive....

    If we do that then I want them to make them St. Clooud jerseys instead.

    I thought there would be a LOT more than there were. Nice day for a drive down, tickets easy to come by, seriously thought they'd fill in a lot. Looked like no more than Friday to me.

    What hate? Just stating facts. That's the best I HAVE EVER seen Patterson play. Period. He never earned time to split with Kangas until perhaps now. Kangas had earned himself a lot of rope and he may now have hung himself with it.

    We'll see what happens this weekend.

    I liked Doug and the rug. I thought Frank was better than a lot gave him credit for. He did a decent play-by-play, making sure to describe things during important times, and occasionally getting lost in a conversation with Doug. He and Doug and the the right blend of homerism for a team hired to cover one team mainly watched by fans of that team (in other words, less biased than most). They cheered for good plays, but also criticized mistakes. They were pretty fair on penalty calls on both sides of the ice. And Doug, while dragging Frank into some weird converstions on occasion and making man strange statements (most of which actually addded to the entertainment), would also offer incite into areas I can't recall other color men ever offering.

    The current offering, while better than the few announcers I've heard in other media or programs who tend to be over the top biased, just don't offer much to me.
    Sorry, McClanahan was way before my time. I haven't been a fan of Gopher hockey as long as most of you, not to mention I am still young even though I don't always feel like it. He seems like a nice guy, but he is pretty brutal in the booth. I would like to hear Chorske in the booth even though most said he was pretty brutal as well.

    It has been awhile since I was as disappointed as I ws after that game on Friday (it sounds stupid, but it literally ruined the rest of my night). I was glad to see them come out and put up a decent, not good, but decent effort on Sunday. Will be interesting to see if any of that carries over.

    Also, got to watch on TV for the first time this season on Sunday. I will say that Lapanta didn't totally bug me. Anyone else find themselves just zoning out the commentators and just focusing on the game like me? However, my brother was yelling at Mc-whatever his name is the entire game. He is pretty awful, repetitive, and boring.

    I'm sorry, I'm sorry... did a Gophers Lite fan just talk about SCSU ripping off something from another hockey team? At least we steal from NHL teams we don't have to skate against.

    Tell Chicago they can have their stripes back after we return our logo to the Canadiens.

    Concensus is " he could be a great coach in the future"? Who all has said this and based on what? Unless you are watching most practices within hearing range and in coaching meetings to know what he really contributes, I don't know how you can say this. I realize speculation is part of the purpose of a board, but what is your basis for any of this? With Hill at least, we know (or believe we know) that Defense is his responsability, so when they consistantly underperform, we can speculate he is not doing a great job. (Not that I necessarily buy into the whole scapegoat theory that they would have won every NC if only he hadn't been there. It's more complicated than everything hinging on one assistant.) But with Potulny, the reasoning seems to be that he has less responsability than Hill so doesn't deserve the blame. That doesn't mean he has potential. There is a big difference between a player who can help carry a team and one who can translate X's and O's to wins, make adjustments based on opposing teams or changing personnel and motivating players as a coach.

    Yeah, I always thought Hill was entirely incompetent. I heard he needs a road map to find his way across the street. Sad
