Re: Is BU playing tonight????????
Sometimes it's best to be quiet....And by golly did I learn that lesson today
Some teams instruct their players and by extension their parents to stay of the boards. Not sure if that is the case here, but I know our D's team has done this in the past.
To look at the this board you'd never know there is another game tonight.

Yes, but fans answer to no one. BC at least has Tony and Joe. You mean that aren't a couple of similar goofballs at BU?

Re: Is BU playing tonight????????
UM didn't seem their usual selves to me tonight. Something was missing or maybe it was BC's speed that changed the complexion of the game that UM usually plays. Maybe just my imagination...but I started wondering about the toll that last weekend's game may have taken on them and whether or not it was a factor in tonight's game.
Two games...and two real close ones for UM.

Winning a national championship is difficult. If it was easy, more teams would do it! The important thing is that the Gophers made it to the championship game, and are very much in it. Anything can happen, but I certainly wouldn't bet against them.

I would guess that the "fine gentleman" you bet with was not a very "smart gentlemen", and he gave you odds that didn't make any sense whatsoever, so you took the bet. What exactly those odds were and who you bet on, how is one to know?

Re: Is BU playing tonight????????
I just want to say that while all of us in green acknowledge that last night kind of sucked, we are really so fricken proud of our girls. Regardless of how quickly things transpired in the game, nothing will ever erase the tremendous feeling of hearing my daughter's name announced in the starting lineup of a frozen four game. She could have got lit up 10-0 in the first period, and I'd still feel every bit as proud.
The whirlwind over the last 4 weeks has been a truly amazing experience. Watching her and her team as they were winning close games, being acknowledged with awards, being asked to attend press conferences, being interviewed for articles in her home newspaper as well as in Erie and on USCHO......... absolutely none of this gets erased by one shaky performance, even if it did happen to come in such a high profile game. Mr. UConn Fan, I would respectfully submit to you, and I think you would agree, given what my daughter's college experience had been up to this point, in the last few weeks she ripped that softball out of the park!
The final horn sounded last night and of course we were a bit down and disappointed, but like I told my daughter and several of her teammates that I'm close with, "You were here, and no one can take that away from you!"
Congratulations Mercyhurst, and yes....Ice is still doing a happy dance!
I want to say congratulations to Ms. Sperry on a very nice game last night. To suggest that she handled many quality shots would be to actually give Mercyhurst credit for something, to which I'll only suggest that our critics can't have it both ways. LOL But seriously, I thought we did have at least a few high quality chances....couple of which we shot just off net but those that were on target were neatly and efficiently handled by Ms. Sperry and I fully respect her effort and performance in last night's game. Good luck to BU..... rooting for you all the way!
LOL, my time spent away from the boards is more attributed to travel and beverage consumption than anything else.

Exactly. Years from now they will proudly look back onto this Journey, experience and and accomplishments with fond memories. !!!
For many of them this will be one if not the highlight of their hockey career.

Some years ago a coach put a question to a group of hockey parents, saying "imagine that your kid is going to the biggest game or concert or other competition of her life in a faraway city and you can't attend, so you give her two envelopes with two letters, one to be opened following a win and the other to be opened following a loss. The first letter will say something to the effect that she is your daughter, you love her and are very proud of her." The coach then put a question to the parents, looking at them hard like Herb Brooks asking his players "what's the name on your sweater?" The coach's question was "what does the second letter say?" IceIsNice has just answered that question. The second letter is identical with the first.

He kind of reminds me of you actually
.....anyway, the interesting part is the likelihood of OT occurring. I think even you can figure out the rest.

Thank you, I like being associated with other fine gentlemen.
I find the actual OT a lot more interesting than the likelihood of it occurring. I assume the other fine gentleman would agree with me.
Thanks for your vote of confidence! I'll get to work on it right after tomorrow's game.

Hey, you were the one who suggested he was stupid.
Why, I'm not sure, but like your buddy, you started it. I was only commenting on the great drama that has occurred in the last few games. No offense was intended; I do understand though your apparent anxiety.

Likewise, no offense intended.
Yeah, I suppose most us Gopher fans, including me, might just be a little on edge.
