There is absolutely nothing going on in the sports world now. But every local newscast still has news weather and sports. At 20 past the hour they say "now lets toss it over to Joe Blow, who has nothing meaningful to talk about, for sports."

In Minnesota basically the only way you get tested is if you may need to get admitted to the hospital/are in the hospital showing symptoms or live in a senior living facility. Have symptoms but don't need hospitalization--thats a nada. So the actual number of infections is probably many times the n...

That's sure a dilemma with those cruise ships with infected people on board. The ships obviously want to dock and unload. It's equally obvious that no port wants them.

Thursday FS North is showing the Gophers win over North Dakota in the WCHA final five. the Blake Wheeler OT goal.

I was just thinking, if and when this ends there will be a helluva backlog of medical services. Everything from eye exams to hemorrhoidectomies.

It took a fake tourney to get Kato to the Frozen Four.

Dr. Gupta on CNN mentioned 40-60% getting infected. If we let that happen at one time we are just accelerating natural selection for the less healthy.

I'm kind of shocked that Minnesota didn't go with the shelter-in-place announcement just now. Osterholm was just saying on WCCO radio that he thinks a complete shutdown is not the right solution.

So Kato has 2 finalists. I was just looking at their roster. Hastings is practically running a senior citizens center down there. They've got 6 guys born in 1995 and their youngest player is 20.5 y.o.

I had my annual physical this morning. I called the clinic first and they told me there's no reason not to come in. So I went and the Dr told me not to leave home again until this lets up.

Professor urges gov't to create a Strategic Toilet Paper Reserve.

What’s a real shame us how much waste this will ultimately create. Everyone panic bought for months and good portions will end up in the garbage. People are suddenly going to start throwing out TP and hand sanitizer? I agree. What waste? Guessing he's referring to the fact that things like chicken,...

My routine annual checkup is scheduled for Monday morning. You can bet the clinic waiting room will have sick people stacked up like cordwood. Has anything been said about going to the Dr for non sickness matters like mine? Seems like an unnecessary risk.

I bought a pallet of tp a month ago and am now standing in the Walmart parking lot selling it for $1 per square.

And I could feel it in my gut that we were gonna beat PSU this time.

I could be wrong (it happens once or twice a year ) but I heard this started because someone ate a bat they got at some street market in China.

I read that too. The bats were undercooked.

Just like on Sunday, strong defense, move them out from in front. Don’t jibby jab at the puck with your stick. Our strength is speed and puck movement, they are big and dominant.

I used to always go to the first round WCHA playoff games which were always on High School Tournament weekend and they had actual fans in the stands.

I did too, but there were probably 2/3 of the fans you would see without HS going on.

How come everybody settles except Dish?

Gotta love it when a school opts for AA to avoid Hermantown.

Maybe Rube is like my wife. We're usually together. I see bald eagles and she doesn't.

I'm probably the only one here that still has Dish TV, but their schedule shows the Gophers vs ND on ch 149 Friday.

The idea of a true top six isn't as big of a deal in college hockey anymore. Top 9 is more accurate.
Hard to play nine forwards on the power play though

Why? Last year we had 5 forwards on #1 and 4 on #2.

Penn State ended it two years ago
Oh yeah, was it the year before with Letteri on the team that the gophers blew a 2-0 lead that started with a bad line change?

Yup. IIRC all 5 went to change and their goalie whipped a pass into our zone.

Seems like a dream that 10 days ago we were in 1st place.

The same argument gets old every single year. Don’t like open enrollment? The issue isn't open enrollment per se, it's going out of the way to actively recruit. I expect it from privates and it's hard to really fault them for it. But Hermantown playing an AA schedule at all levels with kids transfe...

2. Gophers vs 7. Wisconsin
3. Penn St vs 6. Mich St
4. Notre Dame vs 5. Michigan

Anybody know what tv channel will carry the Big 10 playoffs?

If nothing else, PSU plays an entertaining style of hockey.
