Motz puts Jimmy Clark with Snuggy and Moore there....

[Hornets]

No need for risky chances yet....keep pushing, keep shooting.

[Sellingguy]

The 3rd period slow down is on. WHY? They are playing to NOT go down 2. WHY??

[Chet Manly]

We’re far enough in the game to know who the better team is. I’m just hoping we can pull the upset.

Bob’s teams never seem to be well conditioned. Still not as bad as the third period versus Quinnipiac last year…

[Hornets]

BU has done a much better job of blocking quality opportunities tonight than our Gophers....

its not conditioning. its a plan. Even BU seems to be playing not to give up a goal.
Little better the last couple of minutes, but the gophers need to just get moving.

[Hornets]

NO penalties so far for either team....really hope the refs keep their whistles out of their mouths unless it's something totally egregious.

Yeah, you’re probably right…

…they typically come out flat in the first period, too.

Wish we could rely on skill vs. luck, but I suspect we’re out skilled tonight. Here’s hoping!

[Hornets]

Now is the time to begin taking some calculated risks....

[Hornets]

OMG BRODZINSKI.....how did he miss that??? UGH

[Hornets]

More blocks by BU players....

[Hornets]

This is it guys....less than 5 minutes left in your season and in some case your Gopher career unless you can find a way to tie this beeotch up.

[Chet Manly]

They’re pouring it on. Doesn’t need to be pretty. Just score ugly…

[Sellingguy]

Now they are rolling..bad miss on that one.

BU is on their heels. Gophers need to keep putting the puck at the net.

[Sellingguy]

And bob puts snuggs/oliver/pitlick out as a line!!!! REALLY!

[Hornets]

Empty net time....we need a miracle.

[Hornets]

Sunuvabitch....a lob clearing pass goes right down the middle of the rink and into the net. Unreal.

[Chet Manly]

Jesus. Just a step behind all year. The better team won. It was an entertaining year, but this team is still missing a certain something…

[Hornets]

And that's that....6-3 after another empty netter.

[Hornets]

Disappointing loss to be sure. BU was the better team but barely. The game was there to be had for our boys but Close picked a bad time to have a less than stellar game and once again Snuggerud was invisible. Kudos to BU for doing what they had to do and the dream of having our Rodents play at home for the Frozen Four is over....it's now been what, 21 years since the last title. That's unacceptable...

They’ve had the talent. Last year’s choke was unacceptable. This year just never felt like it would be the year.

BU is good, but I think the gophers had a good year, esp with who they lost. This was a good team.
As I pointed out, Bob fucks with things too much.
As good as Nelson is, it somehow looks like he is going 75%. It seems like he could go harder.
I said the same thing about Sammy Walker. It was like Bob told him to slow down!

This has been a very good tourny. It will be interesting to see what prices do over the next 2 weeks.

Yep...that was an epic blown opportunity last season and I also never felt this was going to be their year, especially towards the end of the season when they just seemed off. But thanks to a super human performance by Jaxson Nelson the last 8 or 9 games it seemed that maybe, just maybe they could pull off the upset and had they reached St. Paul there's no telling what could happen, especially with a huge crowd pulling for them.

[Hornets]

Wouldn't it have been awesome if Logan had stayed another year and he was out there against Celebrini? That would have been epic...oh well.

There goes the attendance at the X

[Sellingguy]

There goes the attendance at the X

Tickets still left! $650.00 for all 3 games, lower level.

I paid in the $300.00 range for Columbus, Miltown, St Louis.

Last time in st paul, ND Vs Mich semi was sold out, tickets on the corner were 200-300 and they were getting it.

Could be some sweet prices at game time. Prices will be driven by Michigan making it or not. Huge alum in this region.
If I can get into Semi's for under 100.00, i will most likely go.

[Sellingguy]

The defending champs up by 1 early in the 3rd. Hell of a game so far.

[WannaBeProGolferGuy]

BC just tied it up.

[WannaBeProGolferGuy]

BC wins it in OT. Quinnipiac loses and couldn't happen to a bigger a-hole than Rand Pecknold.
