So, if this were a good Gopher team (record, play, and everything), would you be as mad if they lost in the same fashion as they did tonight?

Yes. If this was a good gopher team, they'd be battling for pairwise position and a Macnaughton - both of which are negatively impacted by home ice losses (since good teams win the vast majority of games on home ice, it's essential to get 3-4 points in home series to keep pace).

Dx - I am not whining, either. I'm simply telling it like it is. Scooby on the other hand is in a class by himself and struggles to see positives even when the team wins. :p

Brent - to Tech a tie is a win. They didn't break CC's futility record of most consecutive WCHA losses. :D

Hey Fade, try winning a game once in a while, then you can comment on other team's fanbases.

I'll comment on other team's fanbases all I want, old man. :D

As a Tech fan, my expectations have fallen to zero. So, I find your comments about a mediocre Gopher team to be arrogant and whiny in comparison with past success. Deal with it. :p

And yes, I know MN fans expect to win a championship every year. Doesn't change my opinion.

Whiny? No. Arrogant? Always. Don't you forget it.

So, was kissing your sister everything you hoped it to be? ;)

Not true. Even in high expectations mode, we don't expect that as it's totally unrealistic. Ideally, the team would win it all about once per decade, be in the hunt / make the frozen four 3-4 other times per 10 years, and make the NCAA's 3-4 other times beyond that - allowing for about one year every four on the outside looking in / having a mediocre to bad season while rebuilding.

Speaking of kissing sisters, is bbdl's sister still schtuping that dude in Florida?
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 129: Still got those Winter Blues...

I was so disgusted that I forgot to go to the * hockey bar. When is last call?
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 129: Still got those Winter Blues...

I am still here posting. I haven't retired. ;)

Seriously, as lots of people say, I don't know how I ever found time to work. I just did my laundry, and I will soon be off to my German class (9:00 - 12:15), then lunch, and then listen to RPI hopefully win at 3:30. (It's on the NHL network, if anyone gets that.)

You should be a Maine fan if you want disgust, we top you all, maybe not Tech fans but we're a close second:D
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 129: Still got those Winter Blues...

morning Lodge. As official bartender of the *k hockey bar, I can sling drinks pretty much 24/7. As long as you *kers don't trash the place we should be fine.

This. I drink the Kool-Aid every series. I'm legitimately mad after a loss. I'm ecstatic over any win. But I won't stop hoping this team can make a "Cinderella" run every year that they are subpar, like this year. For Parise's sake, we're hovering around .500, and many teams would LOVE for that to be their highlight. Is it bad for Gopher hockey? Sure. Is it bad overall? No.

So again, Scooby meet Bakunin, Bakunin meet Scooby. You'll get along swimmingly.
