I grew up in the northern part of Minnesota. It was pretty remote, cold, and far from civilization. It doesn't seem as remote these days now that I can drive, but as a kid when I was stuck there, yeah. As for cold, we'd often get 50 below more times in one winter than I've seen days reach 30 below in over 30 years of living in the Twin Cities, so it is quite a bit colder.

I moved North from the Cities over 20 years ago, and the difference isn't quite as bad as you make it sound. It is clearly colder by several degrees. But when I first moved up, we'd see 30 below every winter while it was about 20 below in the Cities, and occasional 40 below with a high of 20 below (55 was the lowest.). But in the last 10 years or more, the coldest it has been getting is barely into the 20's below. So part of your perception of the difference in temps is based on the fact that after you moved, the climate has gotten warmer, so the difference in temps seems even greater.

To start the 2013 portion of the 2012-2013 season...up ahead on the horizon, the passionately disliked and objects of extreme...uh...objection, the dreaded Whioux!

Karvinen and Jensen both back in the lineup by end of first half box score appearances. Would possibly lead to expectations of a more potent offense than was present in the earlier Grand Forks series. They didn't really light it up on the road at UW in their 2012 finale. I would prepare for a recharged UND and a tougher series the 2nd time around. The Whioux need a strong 2nd half for any NCAA aspirations I'd say.

I would be extremely hopeful for, and tremendously enjoy seeing their senior season...uh...I mean the 2012-2013 conference season schedule vs. the Whioux be without victory for TTFKATFS*. Also that Minnesota start 2013 at full roster strength, as well as maintain that full roster through the conclusion of their 2013 season.

*Any post season meetings too!

Not to discount anything you wrote (almost all of which I agree with), but I'd like to make sure we get everyone back from national team commitments in one piece.

Anyone going up to Blaine? I can't make it tonight or tomorrow -- I have previously-made commitments to fulfill -- but I'd considering driving up on Monday morning.

I'll also be watching the stats from the Meco Cup games to see how Noora, Mira, Kelly, and Sarah do. And I'll be paying attention to the IIHF WW-U18 tourney as well.

I believe all of us Gopher fans have our fingers crossed that your hope for a full roster is realized, all the way through the duration of the season.

P.S. It already seems like forever since the Gophers last played a game, and we still have TWO MORE WEEKS to go! TOO long of a layoff, IMHO.

Brooky, that was a great video , thanks.....and I must give you Gophers props today as both your teams are ranked #1! While I personally look for us to do that in April, as we saw UNH could only a week, it speaks volumes to the commitment the University, players and friends have to the men and women, who hopefully someday go to Congress to show what real team work is about!! Happy New Year

What the hell's wrong with picking a time and sticking with it?

How 'bout another Fighting Irish beat down?

Unlike our women's team, which is No. 1 in the Pairwise and in all of the various polls and rankings, the men are currently just No. 6 in the Pairwise. I'd like nothing better for them to beat the No. 4 PWR team this evening and at the same time retain their No. 1 USCHO ranking. That would be a nice start to the week for Gopher hockey! :cool:

Game Day!! :D

On a side note, I was at practice on Wednesday and all 22 players were on the ice, so that's good news.
