Best dive I've ever seen.
Re: North Star College Cup - MN, UMD, MSU, SCSU
There is, but it's rarely called.
It is under the "peeves" category of many a hockey fan: the combo of "diving" and an actual penalty. Refs would rather call that combo, which makes no sense*, than call "embellishment."
*If it's a dive, then there is no penalty. It SHOULD be the combo of the penalty and embellishment, not penalty/dive.

If it was you wouldn't even have realized it was a dive! This one was so ridiculous that it didn't fool anyone in the building except the ref.

play until there is a winner and a loser.
Re: North Star College Cup - MN, UMD, MSU, SCSU
How does that work with the pairwise? I think we all can agree that last nights game should go down as a tie in the national standings picture but we would have all loved to see more than the 5 extra minutes to decide the game.

I have after last night
We call for a sweep every weekend, just like Dirty does. Don't let sarcasm hit you upside the head, it might knock some sense into you.
Congrats to the Gophs for the tourney win, hope we get a crack at you guys again in the same building.
Anybody know which squad is the odd man out next year?

SCSU is out next year. I think we are doing home-and-homes for the next two years, then a road series at Mariucci in 3 years in lieu of two in St. Cloud next year, then two straight years of a road series in Minneapolis.

IMO I just don't think this tournament is as important to the Gophers as it is to the other 4 teams in the state. It was great we won/tied but I didn't get super excited about it. Maybe that will come with time, maybe not. Its is fun however to hear the Bulldog and Husky fans whine and obsess over us and "our" new conference.
P.S. The one thing that was great about this event compared to the Final Five was the crowd was much better looking without having UND fans there

I think a decent balance between players and fans would to have a 5 minute overtime that had PW implications, play an extra ten mins of OT for fan approval, and then if it is still tied have the shoot out. That would be fun for the fans without being too taxing on the players.

I like it, but I don't think it would happen.

Re: North Star College Cup - MN, UMD, MSU, SCSU
When the gophers moved to the B1G administration said they required 26 home games in order to profit for the season. Initially they were requesting many other non-conference teams (except ND and DU) to commit to a 2 series at UofM and 1 series away contract. Does anyone know if this has changed?

Gopher fans know a good dive when they see one. I saw Rau teaching Gorg the finer points of flopping at one of the intermissions last year. I do feel bad the refs jobbed you the last two times you played UMD, but you wouldn't expect the number one team in the nation to fall apart after one bad call.
