I just think that Minnesota is different in regards to the hockey culture.

There's good hockey here, but it's more like a cult-following for those who do it. Certainly not mainstream.

Up there, unless I'm understanding things wrong, it's part of your broader culture.


Speaking of backyard rinks, here's the one that I maintained at our old house for about 5 years.

Did this until the boy was a pee wee or so and then we moved to a new house where the pitch of the backyard was too great. By that age, him and his buddies were more interested in xbox than playing hockey outside anyway. :mad:

Regardless of what we all think about you Gurt, that even gives you points in my book ;) Very cool indeed.

The ice looks REALLY slow. Miami and Notre Dame look like they're crawling.

PERFECT! :D:p

Goalie sieve a gopher on a stick!

EDIT - think of this, what 50 to 60,000 people at Soldier Field to watch these games while the Hawks are up 1-0 now at the Madhouse on Madison where there must be at least 18,000 people right now. Pretty incredible.

Slow and bumpy, hard to make a pass, indeed perfect for the BADgers' style. :rolleyes::p

The only way I see the Gopher's hosting one of these games, is for a non-conference game. With only 20 conference games a year for the foreseeable future were not going to want to play one of only 10 conference home games outside of Mariucci.

A similar 'goal' was waved off for the Gophers last year when the puck went off Matson's hand, hit the opponent and went in. I cannot remember the game or opponent.

Ice conditions are turning this game into a farce.

Cos that's what it takes to turn an outdoor game in a football stadium into a farce?

That or if UAA ever played in one.

Just tuned in. The stands look empty. Where there more fans at the ND-Miami game?

Like track and field, the NCAA should start having indoor and outdoor ice hockey championships.

What a stupid ****ing game.

This is like being challenged to a basketball game by a bunch of midgets and then being told you're going to play on a court 10 yds long with 3ft baskets.

I wouldn't. This wasn't hockey. This was Chuck A Puck.
