      So begins the struggle of not finding out the score tomorrow.

      Won't be able to watch the game til like 7PM, I think we play at 2PM.

      No internet, no facebook. Hell I might even shut my phone down completely to avoid getting a rogue "OMG awesome game!" text

        Yale up 2-0 on the Gophers. Late in the 2nd period.

          Free hockey in Grand Rapids. Minnesota scores 2 in the 3rd to force OT.

          EDIT: Yale scores 7 seconds into OT

            Nearly everyone in my bracket picked the Gophers to win it all too. LOL!

              Seven seconds? Jeez.

              College hockey is by far the most unpredictable tournament. Anybody who makes it can truly beat any of the other teams. If you're a fan of one of the major programs, chances are you know what it's like to lose to a "lesser" program in the NCAAs. Like that year Michigan lost to Air Force....*twitch, twitch*

                Wow, choke job. What a wasted season.

                Probably the most talented team in the country.

                Didn't get to watch the game, had the outcome spoiled before I got to watch it; probably a good thing. From what I heard they looked disinterested.

                      In Minnesota I always envisioned it just being an everyday thing. Like being at the store and suddenly hearing somebody yelling about the Gophers losing in OT.

                        Funny you say that, this is EXACTLY how it happened.

                        The first part was my fault, I left sports talk on in the car (was listening to it before the game started). Started my car to go home, and right when the radio comes on I hear "So the Gophers have just tied it up at 2." I quickly changed the radio, and thought: "well, at least I don't know the final score. I can still watch it."

                        Stopped at the gas station on the way home, wearing a Gopher hockey sweatshirt. Again, probably my fault for wearing apparel that might lead to a conversation about the game, lol. The clerk looks at me with kind of a frown: "Just finished listening to the game...." At that point I could tell the outcome, haha.

                            If you're wearing anything Wild-related while a game is going on and you walk into a place of business, you are practically expected to know the score and report it to the clerk if they don't have access to a radio.

                              I just don't get it. How do you not play hard in the NCAA tournament...

                              College hockey is definitely my favorite sport. So whenever the Gophers lose it is not a good day. This one really stings

                              At least I am not the way I used to be where this would have literally ruined my day

                                Didn't even realize there was a college hockey thread, maybe I did post here before but I forgot all about it. Didn't think it would be under pro section. Otherwise you'd all be seeing UML love all year!
