CC @ Minnesota State 11/13-14

Re: CC @ Minnesota State 11/13-14

They also have a full menu as well as the pizza. Burgers, spaghetti, lasagna, ect....
 
Re: CC @ Minnesota State 11/13-14

Is Pagliai's still there on Front St.? Always loved that pizza. TJ's Aegean was amazing, and I was furious when it left the menu. Of course, the joint shut down not long after.
 
Re: CC @ Minnesota State 11/13-14

Thanks everyone for the info on what is close to the Arena, I am excited and it all sounds great. It has been a long time since last in Mankato, but I have always liked the town very much.

Rich, I was really impressed when I saw Minnesota State play two weeks ago up in Denver. I did not notice any difference in skill compared to DU (at least that night). Minnesota State has good speed and can score plenty of goals. It will be a big challenge for CC to keep the puck out of their own net this weekend.

I say split. But since I will be in attendance I will do my fair share to cheer them to a sweep. Go Tigers!!
 
Re: CC @ Minnesota State 11/13-14

I'm nowhere near as confident about this as you seem to be. I don't see anyone showing signs of being a reliable scorer this year.

Frankly, I'm not sure that we have a single reliable scorer on our roster. What I do think we have is about 5-6 above average scorers that can put it in the net consistently (if that makes any sens). I think that from what I have seen so far is that we have a bunch of freshmen and sophomores that are talented, but raw players. We don't have any polished guys like Backes or Stenesen or even Shane Joseph. We have a lot of Mick Berge type guys that are able to score given they work their butts off.

Pagliai's is still there and turning into a respectable dive rather than just a decrepit dive. Pizza has always been amazing, but now when you sit in the booths you aren't going to slide off bacause they aren't attached to the base.:D

I love that place! Sounds like they are getting rid of the quirks that made me love it even more though. Oh well.

Excellent! Mine will be an afternoon hangover. Assuming I'm out of bed by 4:00 pm I may check it out.

TJ Finnegans changed ownership and the new guys changed the menu up and made it totally crappy. I didn't know it had closed down, but I'm not surprised.

As much as I may have been opposed to the concept of it, I miss the Sbarro that was in Campus Square for like 7 weeks. They actually made a pretty solid pizza, and their specials actually made the pizza ridiculously cheap.

Also on the topic, Dino's in North Mankato is a little pricier,but it was pretty good when I ate there.
 
Re: CC @ Minnesota State 11/13-14

There is a new Carbone's Pizzaria that just opened yesterday. Right across the hall from BW-3's. Where the old Above ground was. Great pizza and a full bar!

I am fairly certain that this is the same Carbone's that has a couple of locations in the Twin Cities area. If so, the pizza is excellent. Not quite as good as Jake's but a very close second.

I'm a fan of quirky places, just not quirks that land me on my *** and smashing my head on the table.

Yeah, but once that happens, it isn't likely to happen again. Then, you can laugh at it happening to everyone else.
 
Re: CC @ Minnesota State 11/13-14

All this pizza talk is making me nastolgic for lunch time in Mankato. I think if I leave now, I should be able to make Pagliai's by lunch? ;)

As it sits at this time, I won't be anywhere near these games this weekend. It is too bad for me, because I think they could turn out to be pretty good as long as the Mavs team that played in Denver shows up and not the one that played Wisco 3 Friday's ago.

According to Shane, Irwin and Wiley are both back for the Mavs this weekend. Good news on that front :)

As I can't leave to go to lunch in Mankato, lunch might warrant a Cossetta's trip in the Capitol City.

Game day and time to start tailgating! Go get'em tigers!!
 
Re: CC @ Minnesota State 11/13-14

Imagine that. Derek Shepherd screwing up a good hockey game with a bad call. Well played game on both sides. Too bad a WCHA official (Shepherd) feels he has to get involved in the decision.
