Tuesday, Wednesday stay in bed
Or Thursday - watch the walls instead
It's Friday, I'm in love
BADGER MEN @ minnesota: FRI / SAT 7PM
There is a lot of history and these are two teams that don't like each other, in any sport. There is a little hatred but that is the way hockey should be played. -- Jordy Murray
These weekends that we have this month are going to be big series, definitely the strongest month of our season. So if we can start it off with a sweep right here it would be huge. We're looking at it like four points we need to have on the road, and we won't be satisfied unless we get all four. -- Sean Dolan [Evans]
UW: 2-1-1 WCHA, 5-2-1 overall (last weekend 5-2, 4-1 v. mtu)
minn: 3-3-0 WCHA, 5-3-0 overall (last weekend 4-1, 9-4 @ cc)

gopher lines
Usually I get the opposing team's lines from Baggot, but the link on madison.com for the UW-minn preview yields nothing more than game time, TV coverage, and radio coverage. If I have time before I go to work, I'll try to find this info elsewhere, otherwise if anyone else wants to add them in, please feel free.

HatchetJoe says . . .
Michael Mersch for Hobey . . .
(In a stunning development, HatchetJoe refused to accept a case of Schlitz in exchange for a different quote. I figure he's planning on stealing the Schlitz from me later while I'm not paying attention. (Although "planning" might be a strong term, as I'm not sure HatchetJoe is really the planning type.))
