Re: Whither Mike Schafer? - 19 years ago
krose Wrote: For lack of a better way of saying this, Mike specializes in low-budget hockey. What I mean by this is that Mike takes players of slightly less than stellar caliber (because the best of the best generally accept full scholarships at other programs) and molds them into a team that can compete on the national stage. They would have said this about Bill Self a few years ago. Thoseby ugarte - Hockey

I actually thought Cornell took more bad penalties today than usual, but it isn't as if Minnesota scored on any powerplays so it isn't really a big deal. They were beaten by the team they played.

Shot in the dark - watching in Iowa City? - 19 years ago
I'm not going to look into whether it is being aired in Iowa until I get there tomorrow. Is there any chance that someone else will be in the Iowa City / Cedar Rapids area and wants to watch the game? This holds true whether the game is shown live or we have to track down a 12:30 replay on ESPNU. If so, shoot me a private message. There is no reason why this thread should keep updating and torby ugarte - Hockey

I am so f'ing jealous of all of you. I hope that there is a place to watch the game in Iowa City. Hell, I hope I can find a place to watch the 12:30 AM tape delay in Iowa City. (I can avoid the information until then, right?)by ugarte - Hockey

What a fantastic game. Watching Moulson makes me giddy. On the second goal, the way he and Topher kept circling and passing to eachother before Moulson found Cook all alone ... it was poetry.
