Why would we intentionally try to get another school to co-opt the name? They need to have their own mascot.

Probably right. I'll get rid of it.

Check this out at USCHO website.

The guy who did this mock bracket has Bemidji in the tourney, so you will be happy if it goes that way.

Interesting article. Thanks! But I don't see how the WCHA gets a "D" grade. I'd say the writers must be biased against the conference, but then they go and put 4 WCHA teams in. Giving the conference a D grade is just wrong. It's actually a stronger conference with the Alaska teams out. You're playing back-to-back tough games 6 times out of 7. The only truly crappy team in the conference is Ferris State.

Had to score late in the 3rd period just to get it to OT.

MSU's goalie was unbelievable. Gophers outshot the Spartans by a huge amount.

I still hate conference tournaments be they hockey or BB.

Just need to keep playing hard and stay out of the box and should be good.
A win tonight could very well give them a #1 seed in the NCAA's too.

Final score 6-4 good guys.

Wisconsin had a great second half of their season but Gophers were the class of the Big10.

Status: offline 		A full day of hockey today:
At noon is St Cloud State vs BU on ESPNews
On ESPNU 4PM is Bemidji vs UMass, 6:30PM is UMD vs NoDak, 9PM is Gophers vs Omaha
Streaming on ESPN3 is Mankato vs Quinnipiac at 4 PM.
It's supposed to rain all day here, so parking it in front of the TV all day will be easier to explain to the wife.

I just hope they don't think they're going to face the same opponent with Mankato. Those always seem to be tough games for us - so no slacking!!! (Not that I think they will given the circumstances of playing for a Final Four spot).

This years team has over a dozen players that are 23 or older, so they have been around.
Should be a real good game tonight. Both teams roll 4 lines, so it will be interesting.

I don't remember the last time the Gophers haven't been out played by MSU, and tonight is no different.
If they don't find their legs and get something going in the 2nd their season could be over.

They got intimated early and it snowballed. There were a couple of "iffy" hits early on and the refs let it go. We don't have that type of game. Good game plan by them.

"Iffy" hits by Mankato has been a trademark for as long as they have had a hockey program.
They have actually cleaned it up a lot since Hastings took over as coach, but the still play a very heavy game that our younger Gophers just aren't built to handle.
