You can but it's an add on.  it comes with the sports package that includes all the Fox regionals.  


I have that add on, but I don't get BTN with Directv. Am I wrong? What channel is it if you get it?

Lucia did not deserve an extension. In fact short of making a run in the NCAA, he should be fired after the season.


It seems to be clear to me that the team is back, this season. (I know that the season has just begun.) He has had some health issues in the past few years. Don't you think that contributed to the uncharacteristic play? Isn't it true that his health has improved as of late?

Despite that he hasn't gotten a whiff of the tournament. As far as this year the Gophers won two games against UMD despite giving up over 100 shots on goal. UMD dominated the play, but Patterson stood on his head and some incredibly talented players made some nice individual plays to score goals on very few opportunities. Personally I don't think the play of the last few years is uncharacteristic. Lucia had a great first 2 years with Woog's players. It has been down hill ever since. He should have had to prove himself this year before getting an extension.

I've been so negative, lately. It's nice to be on the positive side of a topic of discussion.

What was encouraging was the individual play of some of the young players. I was not impressed with the system. This team will win or lose on the raw talent of the players. Not because of how Lucia puts it together. I just see no reason to have extended him at this time.

I was going to say "613-ish" off the top of my head.  That (610) sounds about right.

They scored on some great plays,. nothing was cheap, and they had two days to stew about their performance Friday night.
We'll be fine. A little attitude re-adjustment never hurts.
Things were coming too easy, you could see it early, even when we were up 3-1 and cruising.
Too young to not take lumps.
I hate stupid penalties, but I do love them being tougher 9which they most definitely are). We have a couple nasty-attitude guys, first time in awhile.
They could even possibly play for the Sue if they cranked it up a couple notches, thats how nasty they are .....

So Rau is the guy to look for?
