Re: WCHA Final Five Semi: St. Cloud State vs. Wisconsin
Sorry TB I meant STC for me. not paying attention.
I am going on the record by saying St Cloud will win this game, only because its on a friday and fridays are our turn with these series this year....
I am attempting to go to the game friday, trying to scrounge up a little more dough and get down to the X. Anyone have an couple extra tickets for friday?

Re: WCHA Final Five Semi: St. Cloud State vs. Wisconsin
I'm not sure comparing SOG means anything from the previous meetings. I'm too lazy to research it, but SCSU has likely been out-shot by a fairly good margin over the course of the season...yet they are winning games and one of the best teams in the nation. SOG, as it has always been, is the most over-rated statistic in hockey.

Re: WCHA Final Five Semi: St. Cloud State vs. Wisconsin
Does it make me conceited to quote myself? Oh well.
SCSU Shots-for: 1083
SCSU Shots-against: 1243
SCSU is -160 in shots over the course of the season.
Of course despite being handily out-shot, they are still +17 in goals (126-109).
SOG = useless

Re: WCHA Final Five Semi: St. Cloud State vs. Wisconsin
WI leads the SCSU comparison 5-2. Ive tried all kinds of combinations to see if there was a way SCSU could flip one of the other non-H2H comparisons to put it to a 4-4 flip, but there's really no way SCSU can do it. We can make it as high as 4th in the PWR, but no higher really. Actually, we can finish in a 3-way tie for 3rd with WI and BC, but we'd finish 5th in that scenario.

Re: WCHA Final Five Semi: St. Cloud State vs. Wisconsin
I was making up a stat(friday wins over the opponent) the was the indication that it was a joke. For the record I think that friday will be a tough, entertaining game. Let's hope the huskies can pull it off!
BTW where varsity wisconsin blatantly tell us all the superiority of Wisco and proudly proclaiming their victory?

I think he is trolling around the gopher threads, helping console them.

Re: WCHA Final Five Semi: St. Cloud State vs. Wisconsin
Looking forward to the game managed to find some club level tickets (imagine that). I believe WI pulls this game out late in the 3rd. Just think our depth will win this game. As for score I think its going to be low scoring 3-2 or 2-1. Both teams will play tight not to make the first mistake. We'll see. GO BUCKY

Re: WCHA Final Five Semi: St. Cloud State vs. Wisconsin
What concerns me is that the Huskies, ever since I've been going to the FF have never won the 2:00 game. Seems like, looking at the records we've been beaten soundly by the flickertails in the afternoon. When we won the semi-final games they've been at night. (3-0 vs. rodents and 8-7 vs. rodents in that memorable ot game.)
Anyway, I'm pretty pumped and I think the boys will be too.

Re: WCHA Final Five Semi: St. Cloud State vs. Wisconsin
Just saw footage of LeBlanc's series winner, and by far what I liked most about that video was Raboin's reaction.
Who knows where thoughts come from? They just appear.
MOST may have been, I've been behind a rotation all year.
Oh how quickly we forget. That 4-1 SCSU victory was 2-1 with less than a minute left until we scored an empty netter and then a UW defenseman (Gardiner I think?) coughed up one to Lasch.
And when SCSU played well they haven't had much trouble with UW. Gee... I wonder what'll happen if both of these teams could play well at the same time?
Mankato's a thorn in Denver's side too.
LwB and I will start the chant, but how do we wanna word it? "Where's the U?" wouldn't sound very good. "Where's Lucia?" is the perfect number of syllables, not my favorite but might sound the best. "Where are the Gophers..." one too many.
So does that mean nothing for Thursday?
First off, "SOG = Stupid Stat." - MNS
Second, If you haven't noticed, over the last decade, we do better when we're outshot.
Lastly, I think part of it is SCSU's shot tracker does a better job of actually calling shots fairly. I've seen some games where the home team's guy gave them like 6 to 8 more shots than they should've.
As for this weekend, I think it'll be a close game, but I see Wisconsin pulling out like a 5-4, 6-4 kinda game. The nice thing is that while the last two weeks have been bad hockey, we won the 2 games we needed to and while the 2 losses and a tie hurt us PWR-wise, we got to St. Paul, and maybe UW will have their guard down a bit since they've gone 4-0 (albeit against two bad squads) and we've played .500 hockey against just as bad of competition.
Also, I know you read this, so wanted to say sorry to Brent for not saying hey in Mankato. Was running around a lot that night. Hope to see you and Tiny at the games, maybe at the Eagle Street Grille?

At the very least I hope we can come together as two fanbases with something we can both agree on and publicly mock the Gophers for their conspicuous absence.

Re: WCHA Final Five Semi: St. Cloud State vs. Wisconsin
True, forgot about that. Either way the score looks like a dominating game.
Why not, "Where's the gopher?" or add the "s" to make it gophers. I just prefer the singular pronunciation.

They'll be there. To raise funds for their hockey program they'll be selling programs at the entrances as we come in, and Don and John will out in the lobby selling beer.
